| description | The investigation had two goals: (1) to analyze the relations between sexism (HS-hostile, BS-benevolent, AS-ambivalent) and positive and negative emotions; and (2) to identify predictor variables of HS and BS. The sample comprised 941 students from 14 to 25 years old. The results revealed positive correlations of HS and AS with state/trait anxiety, state/trait anger, and the anger expression index; and negative correlations with feelings of happiness and self-esteem. BS was not correlated with any variable. The predictor variables of HS were: few feelings of happiness, low level of state-depression and of trait-anxiety, high level of state-anger and anger expression. Few feelings of happiness, low level of state-depression, and high level of state-anger were predictors of BS. The effect of positive emotions on sexist attitudes is discussed. |
