WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Misandry Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

misandry

sexism

This measure is designed to assess negative beliefs and attitudes toward men as a social group. The Misandry Scale uses a self-report format in which respondents rate their agreement with statements reflecting a range of prejudicial views.

The instrument contains 36 items and typically requires about 7 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture cognitive and affective components such as distrust, stereotyping, and hostility; results are generally interpreted as an index of the strength and pervasiveness of these attitudes. Authors: Janet Shibley Hyde; Peter Glick.

The Misandry Scale may be used in research on gender-related prejudice and in clinical or counseling contexts when screening for or monitoring negative gender-based attitudes that could affect interpersonal functioning. Interpretation should consider the assessment context, response style, and relevant sociocultural factors.
