The stereotypical gender traits used in self-descriptions could contribute to shape ambivalent sexist attitudes toward women,
including antipathy toward women who appear to threaten the gender hierarchy (i.e., hostile sexist attitudes) and afection for
women who embrace traditional feminine roles (i.e., benevolent sexism). Empirical evidence associates more stereotypically
feminine traits with benevolent sexism and masculine traits with hostile sexism but does not ofer a clear picture, likely because
of the non-controlled efect of social desirability and other gender traits in those relationships. We examine whether self-ascribed
masculine traits moderate the modulating infuence of social desirability in the linkage between feminine traits and benevolent
sexism, and whether self-ascribed feminine traits moderate the modulating efect of social desirability in the association between
masculine traits and hostile sexist attitudes. Results reveal that stereotypical gender traits and social desirability are connected
to benevolent and hostile sexism, although diferently. The gendered profle of those with benevolent attitudes (i.e., participants
who self-attribute largely feminine traits) is diferent from those with hostile attitudes (i.e., participants who self-ascribe mainly
masculine traits). In addition, the need to gain others’ approval or, more importantly, to avoid their disapproval, leads individuals
to ofer more socially desirable responses that mask their hostility toward women, whereas this need is less evident when hiding
benevolent attitudes. As benevolent sexism is more pervasive in society and, unlike hostile sexism, is not easily recognized as
a type of prejudice, it is harder to counteract and, therefore, to eliminate. [-]
