Assessing sex typing and androgyny in children: The Children's Sex Role Inventory.

Abstract

A measure of sex typing and androgyny in children was developed based on the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI; Bem, 1974). The Children's Sex Role Inventory (CSRI) was correlated with the BSRI in an adult sample to establish the equivalence of the two inventories for use in developmental research spanning middle childhood and adulthood. Ss were 145 third, fourth, sixth, and seventh graders, 130 of whom were tested 1 year later
