Abstract

Five studies were performed to develop and validate the Korean Ambivalent Sexism Inventory(K-ASI). Total 3491 high school students, college students and adults participated in these five studies. Through item analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, 36 items(18 Hostile and 18 Benevolent Sexism) were selected and finally included in K-ASI. The K-ASI taps 2 positively correlated component of sexism that nevertheless represent opposite evaluative orientations toward women:Hostile Sexism(HS) and Benevolent Sexism(BS). HS and BS are hypothesized to encompass 3 sources of male ambivalence:Paternalism, Gender Differentiation, and Heterosexuality. These five studies also established convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity of K-ASI. That is, HS-BS correlations were moderate, and the correlations between HS scores(controlling for the BS scores) with scores from various other sexism scales were moderate while the correlation between BS scores with scores obtained from these existing scales when controlling for the HS scores were nonsignificantly low, as expected. The HS scale correlates with negative attitudes toward and stereotypes about women, and the BS scale correlates with positive attitudes toward and stereotypes about women. The results of a nation-wide survey(Study 5) demonstrated that males as compared to females, adults than younger students and people in Youngnam area than in other regions showed higher HS and BS scores. The theoretical and the practical implications of these two types of sexism and the use of the scale were discussed.
