Abstract:
We report on the findings from three social psychology survey instruments administered to78 randomly selected
Brunei student teachers of both genders. Males scored significantly higher than females on the
masculinity-femininity dimension of the personal attributes inventory. In addition, mean scores for males were
also significantly higher than those of their female counterparts on the equal distribution of labor and equal
social roles domains of the attitudes towards women scale. However, there were no significant differences
among the participants by teacher training programs and race or ethnicity. These results suggest that men have no
prejudices over women. The participants might be able to live and work together peacefully. This is important
for promoting social harmony and stability in the Brunei teaching profession where more females than males are
increasingly assuming positions of higher responsibility previously held by males. Further mixed-methods
research was recommended to gain additional insights.
