Abstract EN

Personality correlates of psychological androgyny among University freshmen in Jordan were investigated in this study.

The sample was classified to different sex-rote orientations (androgynous, masculine, feminine, undifferentiated) according to their scores on the Arabic Version of the Bern Sex-Role Inventory.

Results indicated that the simultaneous endorsement of masculine and feminine qualities (androgyny) is related to particular advantages in conformity, Adjustment to Reality, Mood, and leadership dimensions.

Sex-typed individuals were next to androgynous in terms of psychological effectiveness as reflected in these personality dimensions followed by undifferentiated individuals.

Cross-sex-typed individuals, however, expressed the lowest levels of psychological functioning.
