A study of 556 working women and men examined the relationship between degree of sex-role conflict and age of the individual. For both women and men, mean sex-role conflict scores were significantly greater at age 26 to 39 yr. than at age 40 and over. Women aged 25 and below also scored significantly higher than did women aged 40 and over.
