Abstract
We examined the relationships among college students' attitudes about women's roles and issues measured directly using the Attitudes toward Women Scale (AWS), and indirectly using a free response measure, thought listing. The two types of measures were significantly related for both sexes, but more strongly related for men than for women. Women were more liberal than men in their responses to the AWS and to all thought listing stimuli except the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Interrelationships among responses for different thought listing stimuli were moderate to nonexistent, suggesting that students' attitudes vary greatly depending on the issue or role examined.Keywords
