Dissertation
HEIGHT, SEX ROLE ORIENTATION, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT IN WOMEN; OR, SHORT AND TALL IN WONDERLAND
1984
Overview
This study examined the relationship of height, adjustment, and sex-role attributes in adult women. The Bem Sex Role Invnetory (BSRI) and the Bell Adjustment Inventory were used to evaluate the following hypotheses: (1) tall women would show significantly higher masculine scores than women of average height or short women; (2) controlling for height, there would be an effect between the subjects' separate masculine and feminine sex role scores, and adjustment scores; (3) controlling for height, women who exhibit higher masculine scores than feminine scores would be better adjusted than women who exhibit lower masculine than feminine scores. Subjects were ninety women, ages 24-45, ranging in height from 4'11\" to 5'2\", 5'3\" to 5'7\"; and 5'8\" to 6'0\". Multiple regression techniques revealed a curvilinear relationship between height groups and both masculine and feminine scores. Short women scored higher on both scales, followed by tall women, with women of average height scoring lowest. Results offered support for hypothesis 2: individuals with high Masculine BSRI scores are better adjusted than those with low Masculine scores; height is not a significant mediating variable. Hypothesis 3 was supported: Subjects with higher Masculine than Feminine Scores are better adjusted than those whose Feminine scores are higher than their Masculine BSRI's. Implications of these findings are discussed.
