Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate attitudes toward women held by male and female undergraduate students of selected academic fields of study. The research was also concerned with attitudes toward women who participate in physical activity. Subjects participating in the investigation were male and female undergraduate students enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The short form of the Attitudes Toward Women Scale (AWS) created by Spence and Helmreich was administered to 425 respondents. In addition to the six subscales of the AWS, the data gathering instrument Included a seventh subscale measuring attitudes toward women who participate in physical activity (AWPPA). The latter subscale was developed by the investigator. Analysis of data was carried out with the use of the SAS computer program package. Differences among means for the AWS responses between the sexes, and among academic groupings was determined by ANOVA. Where indicated, the Scheffé post hoc test was used to specifically identify between group differences. Correlations were calculated between AWS scale values and the AWPPA instrument developed especially for this study.
