Resum

The first aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties (structure, dimensionality and accuracy of measurement) of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI: Glick and Fiske, 1996) in the Spanish version (Expósito et al., 1998) for its use in the Mexican context. Secondly, it was assessed whether the variables sex and socio-economical status were related to the sexist attitudes. Analyses were carried out based on a sample of 396 university students. Results confirmed the cross-cultural invariance and appropriate psychometric properties of the ASI in the Mexican sample. Furthermore, both sex and socio-economical status were found to be related to certain sub-dimensions of sexism.
