The political attitudes of 50 feminist women in relation to "feminism" as a dimension were examined and contrasted with those of 50 of their contemporary female peers. They were administered the Attitudes Toward Feminism Belief-Pattern Scale (3), the Conservatism-Radicalism Opinionnaire (4), and a questionnaire providing biographical information and personal opinions regarding various timely political and feminine issues. The feminist women and their peers were found to differ significantly in the attitudinal dimensions of feminism and political conservatism-radicalism. The feminist women manifested more feminism than their peers, as well as being more politically radical. Feminism as a dimension was also found to be positively correlated with political radicalism. Both goups were also compared in their sentiments and opinions on several noteworthy issues; e.g., the potential influence of the women's vote in en- hancing the status of women. Surprisingly, the feminist women and their peers failed to differ on some of the more salient of these. In order to understand and appreciate the feminist personality, the forces potentiating the Women's movement, and the apparent similarities and differences between the feminist women and their peers, the variables of feminism, political conservatism-radicalism, and activism seem to deserve consideration.
研究了50名女权主义女性对于作为一个维度的“女权主义”的政治态度，并将其与50名同时代的女性同龄人进行了对比。她们接受了《对女权主义信念模式量表》（3）、《保守主义-激进主义问卷》（4），以及一份提供个人传记信息和关于各种当下政治及女性议题的个人观点的问卷。结果发现，女权主义女性与其同龄人在女权主义和政治保守主义-激进主义的态度维度上存在显著差异。女权主义女性比同龄人表现出更多的女权主义，并且在政治上也更为激进。还发现作为一个维度的女权主义与政治激进主义呈正相关。两组人还就一些值得关注的议题的观点和看法进行了比较，例如女性投票权对提高女性地位的潜在影响。令人惊讶的是，在其中一些较为突出的议题上，女权主义女性与其同龄人并无差异。为了理解和认识女权主义者的性格、推动妇女运动的力量，以及女权主义女性与其同龄人之间明显的异同，女权主义、政治保守主义-激进主义和行动主义这些变量似乎值得考虑。
