The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) can
be found in a publication by Peter Glick and Susan T. Fiske (1996).
The scale is not a general sexism inventory.
Instead, the ASI measures sexist attitudes toward women using two subscales:
Hostile Sexism and Benevolent Sexism.
Hostile sexism is
the familiar negative prejudice that overtly harms women. The analysis
suggested a unitary construct marked by dominance or women.
Example: Most women interpret innocent remarks or acts as being sexist.
Benevolent sexism is
also harmful but is not always recognized by men. Three components are
Protective paternalism, Complementary Gender Differentiation, and Heterosexual
Intimacy.
Example: Women, compared to men, tend to have a superior moral sensibility.
Men who are sexist in this dual sense do not appear
to experience tension. For example, they may view women as incompetent for
certain work yet feel women ought to be protected.
In their article, the authors examined the
functioning of the scale items in six samples.
Reliability values
Internal consistency values using alpha were reported for the six studies.
ASI total score alphas ranged from .83
to .92
Hostile Sexism ranged from .80 to .92
Benevolent Sexism ranged from .73 to
.85
Supportive validity data were
provided comparing the ASI with other measures.
Sexism in women
The authors included men and women in their
research and found that both men and women could hold sexist ambivalent views
toward women.
Two Dimensional Model
The authors suggested the scale might be used in
studies comparing high and low scorers on each dimension suggesting a 2 x 2
matrix.
Spanish version
The authors report a Spanish version is available
from the authors.
Finding the Scale
The scale is on page 512 of the publication. The
article can be downloaded from ResearchGate or other databases.
