Male and female college students (N = 244), divided into seven experimental groups, rated women in general and men age 65 significantly higher in femininity than men at four younger ages and men in general. Ratings were made on the Broverman, et al. (1970) masculine-feminine (MF) scale. It appears that both women in general and aged men are viewed through the same "femininity" stereotype, which is largely a perception of psychological timidity. Relatively high femininity ratings for men age 55 indicate that these characteristics are believed to increase in men as a function of the aging process. Results also suggest that the students' MF ratings of "men in general" are based primarily on their perceptions of young men.
244名男女大学生被分为7个实验组，他们根据布罗弗曼等人（1970年）的男性化-女性化（MF）量表，对一般女性和65岁男性的女性气质评价显著高于四个较年轻年龄段的男性以及一般男性。看起来一般女性和老年男性都被通过相同的“女性气质”刻板印象看待，这在很大程度上是对心理怯懦的一种认知。55岁男性相对较高的女性气质评分表明，这些特征被认为会随着男性衰老过程而增加。结果还表明，学生们对“一般男性”的MF评分主要基于他们对年轻男性的认知。
