Abstract
Although American television programs present highly stereotyped sex roles, no previous studies have shown in adults a relationship between sex-role stereotyping and TV viewing behavior. The present study assessed 78 college students' self-descriptions in relation to their TV viewing behavior. The results indicated that the amount of sex-role stereotyping in self-descriptions was positively correlated with amount of TV viewing of stereotyped programs. These findings were replicated with a group of 19 elderly adults.

A new sex-role inventory is described that treats masculinity and femininity as two independent dimensions, thereby making it possible to characterize a person as masculine, feminine, or "androgynous" as a function of the difference between his or her endorsement of masculine and feminine personality characteristics.
