Data from previous studies suggest that women report higher levels of fear than men do and that individuals who identify with the feminine sex role report higher levels of fear than do individuals who identify with the masculine sex role (Carey, Dusek, & Spector, 1988; Dillon, Wolf, & Katz, 1985). The relationship between sex role orientation and fear was investigated further in the present study, using self-report and behavioral measures. The female participants reported significantly higher levels of fear than did the male participants. Individuals who identified with a feminine sex role reported significantly higher levels of fear than did individuals who identified with a masculine sex role. However, we found no significant difference in behavioral fear among the various sex-typed groups.
以往研究的数据表明，女性报告的恐惧水平高于男性，认同女性性别角色的个体报告的恐惧水平高于认同男性性别角色的个体（凯里、杜塞克和斯佩克特，1988年；狄龙、沃尔夫和卡茨，1985年）。本研究使用自我报告和行为测量方法，进一步调查了性别角色取向与恐惧之间的关系。女性参与者报告的恐惧水平显著高于男性参与者。认同女性性别角色的个体报告的恐惧水平显著高于认同男性性别角色的个体。然而，我们发现不同性别类型组之间在行为恐惧方面没有显著差异。
