Abstract
54 undergraduate subjects, designated as androgynous or stereotyped by scores on the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI), rated their perception of four BSRI protocols contrived to represent androgynous and stereotyped males and females. Results supported the similarity hypothesis for attraction to protocols when similarity was defined in terms of sex role orientation as derived from the BSRI.Keywords
