Gender Roles and Study Habits: Do the relations hold for both males and females?

  • There was not a significant correlation between masculinity and study habits for males, but the correlation was significant for females.
  • In other words, characteristics that they considered "masculine" were more likely to be associated with better study strategies than female characteristics.
  • This means that females less feminine traits and with more "masculine" traits, like independence and decisiveness, are more than likely to utilize effective study habits; however, in males, masculine traits were not a better predictor of effective study habits than feminine traits. This means that whether males have more masculine or more feminine traits did not have an effect on the effectiveness of their study habits.
