Abstract
This study was designed to estimate the relationships between psychological well-being, masculinity, femininity and the sex role orientation categories (masculine, feminine, androgynous, undifferentiated). Participants were 346 male and female students, 18 to 31 years old, from the University de Concepción (Chile). Individuals completed measures of psychological well-being and sex role orientation. Results show that psychological well-being had higher relationships with masculinity than with femininity and those participants with undifferentiated orientation reported lower well-being scores than did those with other orientations, being the androgynous category associated with the highest reported well-being. Diverse explanatory factors for obtained results are proposed
