This study was designed to investigate whether behavioral correlates of the MMPI Masculinity-Femininity (MF) scale are similar to or different from those established in the 1950s, given the many social and cultural changes that have taken place since then. There were 306 participants in the study, 102 target subjects (51 males, 51 females) and 204 same-sex friends. The former were administered the first 399 items of the MMPI, the Interpersonal Adjective Scale (IAS), and other questionnaires. The friends described each subject on the IAS. Low MF females were rated by themselves and their peers as tender and emotional, whereas high MF females considered themselves exploitative and self-confident and were rated as bold and unsympathetic by their peers. Low MF males described themselves as domineering and impersonal and were described by their peers as well-mannered. High MFs saw themselves as undemanding and shy and were perceived as emotional by their peers. It appears that the behavioral correlates established a generation ago are still valid today, at least for college students.
鉴于自20世纪50年代以来发生了许多社会和文化变革，本研究旨在调查明尼苏达多相人格量表（MMPI）男性化-女性化（MF）量表的行为相关因素与当时确立的因素是相似还是不同。该研究共有306名参与者，其中102名目标受试者（51名男性，51名女性）和204名同性朋友。前者接受了MMPI的前399项测试、人际形容词量表（IAS）和其他问卷。朋友们根据IAS对每个受试者进行描述。低MF值的女性自我评价以及同伴评价她们温柔且情绪化，而高MF值的女性认为自己有剥削性且自信，同伴评价她们大胆且冷漠。低MF值的男性将自己描述为专横且冷漠，同伴评价他们举止得体。高MF值的男性认为自己要求不高且害羞，同伴认为他们情绪化。看来一代人之前确立的行为相关因素如今仍然有效，至少对大学生来说是这样。
