Abstract

Prompted by Edwards and Ashworth (1977) Bem’s (1974) BSRI item selection strategy was reexamined, using her anchored rating scale and instructions. The results replicate Bem’s for 18 of the 20 masculine items and 19 of the 20 feminine items. These results suggest that the failure to replicate, reported by Edwards and Ashworth, resulted from differences in the anchored rating scale and instructions. One masculine and three feminine BSRI items were found to violate Bem’s assumption of relative desirability. Only half the neutral items were rated neutral with regard to sex by the judges.
