Abstract
Visual-spatial representations of verticality and horizontality (V/H) were assessed by novel plumb-line and water-level tasks in a replicati on of Jamison and Signorella's (1980) study of sex role orientation di fferences in V/H performance. Comparisons between men and women classi fied as masculine, feminine, and androgynous revealed no significant e ffect for either sex role orientation or for interactions between orie ntation and sex on V/H performance. The main effect for sex was signif icant, favoring men.
