Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore any differences in sexism and perceptions of school in terms of type of institution (state nonreligious, private nonreligious, private religious), and to analyze the relationship between sexism and perceptions of school. We used a descriptive correlational design and administered the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory for Adolescents (de Lemus et al., 2008) and the School Culture Scale (Higgins-D’Alessandro and Sadh, 1997) to a sample of 1,455 secondary school students. The results showed that overall sexism scores were significantly higher in adolescents attending private religious schools. Students attending private nonreligious schools had a more positive perception of school. Significant negative correlations between ambivalent sexism and rule compliance, and positive correlations between ambivalent sexism and student-teacher relationships were found.
