Explored the relationships between self-esteem and attitudes toward women who work using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth for 4,386 22-30 yr. old males. Significant, negative associations were found among the measures, which suggests that men with low scores on self-esteem tend to oppose the employment of women, while men with high self-esteem scores are likely to approve of women working. These findings support previous research on the relationship between self-esteem and prejudice as well as indicate possible sources of unequal treatment of men and women in the workplace.
