Abstract

Slade and Jennet's questionnaire, developed in Great Britain, which measures women's attitudes to females' social role was given to Dutch men and women ( n = 728). A detailed investigation of the internal consistency by applying an optimal scaling procedure indicated ways to improve the validity by different weighting of the response categories and by eliminating items that did not fit in a one-dimensional scale. The reduced form of the questionnaire was satisfactory for both men and women. Studies of reliability and validity are reported.
