7. 7 Your Questionnaire: ASI (Glick and Fiske, 1996) Score 1: Hostile sexism score. Score 2: Benevolent sexism score.

9. 9 Glick et al. (2000) administered the ASI to participants in 19 countries (e.g., Australia, Botswana, Cuba, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, US): (a) HS and BS are positively correlated with one another. (b) Males obtain higher scores on HS than females.

10. 10 (e) National scores on HS and BS among males and females are negatively correlated with national scores on gender equality. (c) Males obtain higher scores on BS than females. (d) HS and BS scores among males are positively correlated with HS and BS scores among females.

Correlations between HM and BM:.65 (males),.39 (females). Correlations between ASI and AMI:.69 (males),.76 (females).

15. 15 Glick et al. (2004) administered the AMI to participants in 16 countries (e.g., Argentina, Australia, England, Italy, Mexico, Singapore, Syria, Taiwan, Turkey): (a) HM and BM were positively correlated with one another. (b) Females obtained higher scores on HM than males.

16. 16 (e) National scores on HM and BM were negatively correlated with national scores on gender equality. (c) Males obtained higher scores on BM than females. (d) HS and BS scores among males were positively correlated with HM and BM scores among females.
