A study involving 256 adolescents focused on differences in results on androgyny from administration of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI). The subjects ranged in age from nine to 17 years. The subject group was 75% male and 25% female. Confirmatory and second-order factor analyses of the data were used. Results based on confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis were not especially supportive of a good fit between model expectations and the data at hand. This finding is not consistent with previous research in which confirmatory techniques were employed to analyze BSRI data. Results of second-order factor analysis were more supportive of the validity of the BSRI. Again, this finding is not consistent with previous BSRI research in which second-order methods were used. Various studies suggest that the construct of androgyny has important theoretical and practical implications for psychologists, and it appears that the BSRI can contribute to research in this area.
