Sažetak
To gain some information whether sex typed preferences and role behaviors could be predicted from sex-role orientation and gender of subjects, interrelations between vocational interests, leisure activity preferences, sex-role orientation and gender of subjects has been carried out on a sample of 237 university undergraduate students. The results indicate that biological gender more consistently predicts behavioral choices measured by Vocational interests scale and Leisure activities scale than sex-role orientation of subjects. It has also been found taht all measured components traditionally linked to women form a more homogeneous structure in comparison to the components traditionally linked to men. The results are discussed in the context of the multiple-components approach to measuring gender stereotypes. They suggest that employment of the multiple-components approach is more useful for masculinity than for femininity.
