这项研究进行了一个社区样本（N=1118）的参与者从三个种姓群体（婆罗门，Thevars和Gounder）从村庄，据报道，有一个极端的男性偏见的性别比例在印度泰米尔纳德邦。贞节，大男子主义，种姓身份量表被用来评估有关性别和种姓的文化信仰。种姓身份，贞洁，大男子主义的信念之间的相关性显着的所有三个种姓群体。婆罗门与其他种姓群体在种姓、贞节和大男子主义信仰上存在显著差异。婚姻状况与性别之间存在显著的交互作用。在所有种姓群体中，已婚男性在贞洁和男子气概方面的得分都高于未婚男性。Thevars和Gounder对男子气概和贞洁很感兴趣。所有种姓群体中的妇女，特别是泰瓦尔妇女，对种姓认同感很高。性别和移民的研究结果的影响进行了讨论。
The study was conducted with a community sample (N=1118) of participants from three caste groups (Brahmins, Thevars, and Gounders) from villages that are reported to have an extremely male-biased sex ratio in Tamilnadu, India. Chastity, Machismo, and Caste Identity scales were used to assess cultural beliefs about gender and caste. The correlations among beliefs about caste identity, chastity, and machismo were significant for all three caste groups. There was a significant difference between Brahmins and the other caste groups in beliefs about caste, chastity, and machismo. There was a significant interaction among marital status and gender. Married men's scores on chastity and machismo were higher than unmarried men for all caste groups. Thevars and Gounders were high on machismo and chastity. Women in all caste groups, particularly Thevar women, were high on caste identity. The implications of the findings for the study of gender and immigration are discussed.
