Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to predict ambivalent sexism (including hostile sexism and benevolent sexism) with religious orientation types as intrinsic religiosity, extrinsic religiosity and quest religiosity. In addition, the effect of demographic variables (including age, gender, education) on sexist attitudes was tested. 583 (N_female= 318; N_male= 265) university students who study in different universities of Ankara/Turkey (M_age= 22.10; SD = 2.33) completed Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, and Religious Orientation Scale. Findings indicated significant gender differences on study variables and significant associations between ambivalent sexism and religious orientation types within university students sample in Turkey.
