Scale Score Range Mean for Females Mean for Males
HS 0-5 1.73 (SD.84) 2.38 (SD.78)
BS 0-5 2.20 (SD.84) 2.53 (SD.74)
- Cronbachs alphas, HS, BS .80, .77.
- Correlations between HS and BS .31 (males),

participants in 19 countries (e.g., Australia,

HM 0-5 2.38 (SD.91) 1.84 (SD.89)
BM 0-5 1.50 (SD.91) 1.93 (SD.95)
- Cronbachs alphas, HM, BM .86, .83.
- Correlations between HM and BM .65 (males),
.39 (females).
- Correlations between ASI and AMI .69 (males),
.76 (females).
15- Glick et al. (2004) administered the AMI to
participants in 16 countries (e.g., Argentina,
Australia, England, Italy, Mexico, Singapore,
Syria, Taiwan, Turkey)
(a) HM and BM were positively correlated with
one another.
(b) Females obtained higher scores on HM than
males.
16(c) Males obtained higher scores on BM than
females.
(d) HS and BS scores among males were positively
correlated with HM and BM scores among females.
(e) National scores on HM and BM were negatively
correlated with national scores on gender
equality.
