The attitudes of women (1) toward a woman in menopause, (2) comparable male and non-menopausal female stimulus figures, (3) and themselves were compared using a vignette approach. Vignettes depicting a middle-aged female and a middle-aged male were presented to 152 women between the ages of 18 and 55. The women were asked to rate the vignette subjects on a semantic differential. Approximately half of the women received a vignette of a woman who was identified as being menopausal, and half received the identical vignette without the menopausal condition. Participants then completed a semantic differential rating of themselves and the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS). There was no difference in the semantic differential ratings of the menopausal vs. the nonmenopausal vignette characters, nor in the male vs. the female characters. Although the participants ranked themselves higher than both the female and male characters, there was no difference in the ratings of the vignettes or the self by women with lower vs. higher self-esteem.
采用小插曲法比较了女性（1）对处于更年期的女性、（2）可比较的男性和未处于更年期的女性刺激形象以及（3）对她们自己的态度。向152名年龄在18岁至55岁之间的女性展示了描绘中年女性和中年男性的小插曲。要求这些女性在语义差异量表上对小插曲中的人物进行评分。大约一半的女性收到的小插曲中的女性被认定为处于更年期，另一半收到的是没有更年期状况的相同小插曲。参与者随后完成了对自己的语义差异评分以及田纳西自我概念量表（TSCS）。处于更年期与未处于更年期的小插曲人物在语义差异评分上没有差异，男性与女性人物之间也没有差异。尽管参与者对自己的排名高于女性和男性人物，但自尊较低与较高的女性在小插曲评分或自我评分上没有差异。
