Abstract
Zusammenfassung: Es wird eine deutsche Version des «Ambivalent Sexism Inventory» (ASI; Glick & Fiske, 1996) vorgestellt. Diese Skala dient der Erfassung ambivalenter Einstellungen gegenüber Frauen. Anders als die Konzepte des traditionellen und des modernen Sexismus trennt das Konzept des ambivalenten Sexismus zwischen negativen, offen feindseligen Einstellungen (Hostilität) und subjektiv positiven, wohlwollenden Einstellungen (Benevolenz). Untersuchungen an 2 studentischen und 3 nichtstudentischen Stichproben mit insgesamt 773 Vpn weisen die 22-Item-Skala als reliabel und valide aus. Insbesondere bestätigt sich die Hypothese, daß Hostilität und Benevolenz zwei separate Subsysteme sexistischer Einstellungen mit gegenläufiger subjektiver Valenz bilden. In der Diskussion werden Perspektiven der Forschung zu sexistischen Einstellungen aufgezeigt.
Summary: A German-language version of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI; Glick & Fiske, 1996) is presented. This scale aims at measuring ambivalent attitudes toward women. In contrast to the concepts of traditional and modern sexism, the concept of ambivalent sexism differentiates between overtly negative attitudes (hostility) and subjectively positive attitudes (benevolence). Studies with 2 student and 3 nonstudent samples (total N = 773) demonstrate that the German 22-item scale is reliable and valid. In particular, the results confirm the hypothesis that hostility and benevolence form two distinct subsystems representing opposite evaluative orientations toward women. In the discussion, directions for future research on sexist attitudes are pointed out.
