Preliminary empiric research with The Femininity Study identifies 10 factorially derived factors that indicate the general dimmensions of femininity with particular reference to female self-concept, feelings of inadequacy related to sexual characteristics, and deficiencies of female role-playing. Pilot studies indicate that wide differences occur across time both individually and in different demographic groups so that it is necessary to study the development of sex attitudes across time. Further cross-sectional and longitudinal studies are necessary to discover whether the derived factors are specific to females or distributed in differing degrees among humans in general. No assumptions were made as to whether the obtained factors are unipolar or bipolar, and the present data do not resolve this issue.
《女性气质研究》的初步实证研究确定了10个通过因素分析得出的因素，这些因素表明了女性气质的总体维度，特别涉及女性自我概念、与性特征相关的不足感以及女性角色扮演的缺陷。试点研究表明，个体以及不同人口群体在不同时间存在很大差异，因此有必要研究性态度随时间的发展。需要进一步进行横断面研究和纵向研究，以确定所导出的因素是女性特有的，还是一般在人类中以不同程度分布。对于所获得的因素是单极还是双极，未作任何假设，目前的数据也未解决这一问题。
