Two groups of female college students were selected from a data base according to scores on the Attitude Toward Love Scale (ATLS). Group I consisted of those whose scores on the ATLS indicated a more romantic attitude toward love, and Group II was composed of those whose attitudes toward love were more realistic or conjugal. Both groups responded to twenty-six questions concerning sex role stereotypes. The combined responses of both groups indicated that the majority of the sample believed that no sex differences existed in specific performance areas probed. Differences between Group I and Group II were statistically significant on ten items. In all cases, Group I was most likely to indicate more st_ereotypical attitudes toward the behavior and traits of men and women, while Group II was more likely to indicate more equalitarian attitudes towards sex role behaviors and traits. Substantial agreement existed between the two groups concerning two biologically based traits assigned to males (most aggressiveness and stronger sex drive. Six traits were assigned to women, relating to greater emotionality and expressivity.","abstract_html":"The relationship between attitudes toward love and attitudes toward sex role stereotypes was investigated.
