A pair of studies assessed the validity of two American instruments for use with British samples: the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) as a measure of masculine/instrumental and feminine/expressive traits, and the Texas Social Behavior Inventory (TSBI) as a measure of social self‐esteem. Relationships also were explored between gender stereotypes and psychological malaise, as measured by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Data from both studies verified the suitability of the PAQ and the TSBI for use with British adolescent samples. In Study 2, relationships between gender stereotypes and measures of personal adjustment were obtained, providing a partial replication of results previously reported for American samples (Spence & Helmreich, 1978).
