The fact that some of the items on the BSRI were reversed made me consider the possibility of the presence of a third factor. A factor analysis using three factors revealed that the masculinity factor is essentially unaffected by the introduction of a third factor,4 but femininity (Factor 2) contains two distinct subfactors. The revised Factor 2 includes the following eight feminine items, all with relatively high loadings (.55 or greater):

Revised BSRI Factor 2 (Femininity)

1.

Compassionate (.75)

2.

Sympathetic (.72)

3.

Tender (.72)

4.

Warm (.70)

5.

Understanding (.63)

6.

Affectionate (.62)

7.

Gentle (.57)

8.

Soothes hurt feelings (.56)

In addition, a new Bem hypermasculine, or super-macho, Factor 3 emerged, an interesting mixture of traditionally feminine and masculine items. Four of the seven items in Factor 3 were classified as “masculine” on the original Bem scale. Three of these masculine items (”self-reliant,” “defends own beliefs,” and “self-sufficient”) loaded on the femininity factor in our initial two-factor analysis; another (forceful) previously did not load on either factor. The rank ordering and factor loadings on the seven-item Bem hypermasculine component of the three factor loadings were as follows (* indicates loaded on “femininity” on two-factor analysis; <− indicates item is reversed):
