- 27 female university students completed the Bem sex-role inventory (BSRI), a measure of 'masculine or feminine' perception.participants were also asked about maternal personality , reproductive ambition and career ambition.
- BARI results showed women who saw themselves as more masculine had more testosterone... raised levels of testosterone also showed lower maternal personality and lower reproductive ambition.
- femininity and career ambition had no links.
- women's maternal tendencies are partly moderated by testosterone. Thus, maternal personality and reproductive ambition have biological bias rather than a social or psychological one.
- -van goozen et al (1995) found transwomen taking oestrogen showed a decrease in aggressive behaviour and visuospatial skills, whereas transmen did the opposite. this shows that sex hormones have a huge impact on behaviour.-dabbs and Hargrove (1997) found that female prisoners who used aggression to assert dominance in prison settings ha raised levels of testosterone.- thus the effect of testosterone giving feelings of confidence on female behaviour may be true.
- -research by slabbekoorne et al (1997) did not find consistent results to support this claim.-sex hormones are influential, but non-biological factors may be just as influential. (links to point 2 of green)
- maternal personality and reproductive ambition in women.
