Resumo(s)
Although women’s gender traditional role in western societies has certainly come a long way in the last few decades, gender inequality is still an important issue in today’s world. With the aid of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI, Glick & Fiske, 1996), the Fertility and Childbearing Scale (AFCS; Söderberg, Lundgren, Christensson and Hildingsson, 2013), the Pregnancy Anxiety Scale (PAS, Levin, 1991), the Attitude toward Contraceptives Scale (CAS, Kyes, 1987), as well as items on the desire to have children, fear of an unplanned pregnancy, and on attitudes toward reproduction alternatives, this study relates different aspects of womanhood to levels of ambivalent sexism. As ambivalent sexism is known to vary with culture and levels of gender-equality, a Portuguese (N=141) and a German (N=171) sample of nulliparous women between 18 and 35 years (M=24; SD=3.59) were studied, in order to detect variances between two relatively different European cultures. Results partly confirmed both, differences in terms of ambivalent sexism levels between the two nationalities, as well as a variety of correlations between the constructs of ambivalent sexism and the different aspects of womanhood that were considered in this study.
