    Area of Science:

    • Medical Sociology
    • Gender Studies
    • Physician Attitudes

    Background:

    • Feminist critiques suggest physicians hold traditional sex role views, contributing to women's psychological issues.
    • This study investigates the validity of these claims regarding physician attitudes towards women.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the sex role ideology of practicing physicians.
    • To determine if physicians' attitudes align with traditional or feminist perspectives.

    Main Methods:

    • A sex role ideology questionnaire was administered to physicians in the Manitoba Medical Association.
    • Data were analyzed to compare physician scores with societal groups and across medical specialties.

    Main Results:

    • Physicians exhibited more feminist attitudes than male college students and traditionally-minded women.
    • Psychiatrists scored highest in feminist beliefs, significantly more so than several other specialties.
    • No overall support found for the assumption of uniformly traditional physician views.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician attitudes towards women are generally more feminist than previously assumed.
    • Significant variations exist between medical specialties, highlighting educational needs.
    • Further education for physicians and medical students on women's health issues is recommended.
