ANOTHER FEMININITY SCALE

The construction and validation of the Behavioral Self-report of Femin inity is described. An initial sample of 32 male and 63 female undergr aduates indicated the frequency of engaging in 91 ''feminine'' behavio rs. The 59 items which showed good internal consistency as well as dif ferentiation between genders were retained. Test-retest reliability ov er a 2-wk. period was .90. Convergent and discriminant validities were examined by comparing our results with those obtained from the Hyperf emininity Scale and the Personal Attributes Questionnaire. Responses o f women in traditional and nontraditional majors were significantly di fferent, indicating good with-in-sex validity. Finally, a principal co mponents analysis identified six primary factors, accounting for 60% o f common variance.
