    • Abstract:
      The article examines the extent to which contemporary beliefs about America's national identity differ by gender and the consequences of such beliefs on attitudes toward women. The authors test whether men and women differ in their conceptions of what it means to be fully American. They investigate how variations in conceptions of national identity shape individuals' attitudes about the role of women in society. Also examined is the extent to which gender moderates the consequences of individuals' beliefs about Americanness on their level of sexism.
