Sexismo ambivalente y religiosidad en estudiantes universitarios

Abstract

Introduction: Ambivalent sexism is a problematic that visualizes women as inferior to men due to sex and gender roles. For its part, religiosity also has unequal ideologies regarding the role of men and women in society, which promote inequality in the conditions and quality of life of both sexes. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between ambivalent sexism and religiosity in university students. Methods: The research was conducted through a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional and correlational scope, in a non-probabilistic sample of 296 university students, 200 women and 96 men, to whom the ambivalent sexism scale (ASI) and the Age Universal I-E scale of religious orientation were applied. Results: The results confirmed that there is a positive relationship between ambivalent sexism and personal intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation. Conclusions: In university students, males are more sexist than females, while at the correlational level, the higher the ambivalent sexism the higher the intrinsic religiosity and personal extrinsic religiosity.
