Attitude Scale

The following statements are issues regarding women in leadership roles. For many working class people some of these problems are more important than others. You will indicate the extent to which each statement applies to you.
Beneath each statement there is a set of number used to express your opinion about the statement.
For example:
I feel that women are simple minded.
-3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3
Strongly Disagree Slightly Neither Slightly Agree Strongly
Disagree Disagree Agree Agree Agree Nor Disagree

If you disagree with the statements you will circle one of the numbers on the minus side. If you neither agree nor disagree you will circle the number 0. If you agree with the statements you will circle one of the numbers on the positive side.

Circle the number which you feel is closest to your opinion. Circle only one number for each statement. Read the statement carefully but don’t spend too much time on any one question.
