ALMAGIA, Enrique Barra. Psychological well-being and sex role orientation in adolescents. []. , 17, 1, pp.31-36. ISSN 1729-4827.

This study examined the relationships between psychological well-being, masculinity, feminity and the sex role orientation categories (masculine, feminine, androgynous, undifferentiated) in 231 male and female students, 12 to 21 years old, from Concepción (Chile). Individuals completed measures of psychological well-being and sex role. Results showed that psychological well-being had higher relationships with masculinity than with feminity. Participants with androgynous orientation reported higher psychological well-being than did undifferentiated. There was no gender difference in general psychological well-being. Diverse explanatory factors for obtained results are proposed.
