In analyzing attitudes toward the Equal Rights Amendment 45 undergraduate males were significantly less favorable towards its passage than 89 undergraduate females. The “masculine” males held the strongest attitudes against the ERA, while the “masculine” females appeared to view it the most favorably of the four Bem sex-role classifications. It was also noted that “masculine” individuals, male and female, were significantly more likely than other sex-role types to take action in accordance with their attitudes toward the passage of the ERA.
