Abstract
A critical evaluation is made of the measure of psychological androgyny (difference, scores) derived from the Bern Sex-role Inventory. On the basis of this evaluation and an illustration of the shortcomings of this measure, it is recommended that the inventory not be used as a measure of androgyny.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
