Are BSW Students Sexist?

Marist College, Poughkeepsie, New York

This article reports on that portion of a larger study of students' attitudes that analyzed the levels of sexism among BSW students and the effects of sexism on the students' assessments of vignettes of clients. The study found that the students' levels of sexist attitudes and their identification of clients as male and female seemed to affect their assessments. The results were contradictory and mixed, showing both profemale and promale biases. However, a pattern emerged in which those who held more traditional views toward women were more rigid in their assessments of female clients than those whose views were less traditional.
