Abstract
Sexism corresponds to a set of beliefs of the characteristics that men and women possess that produce inequalities, generally towards women. The objectives of this study were to know the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Ambivalent Sexism in a sample of Physical Education students in Chile and to study the differences in sexism according to sex and year of study. The sample consisted of 265 physical education students from two Chilean universities. Of the total, 106 were women (40.0%). The results show that the inventory has adequate levels of validity and reliability in the sample studied. Benevolent and hostile sexism has higher scores in men (p=.000) and in first and second year courses compared to fourth and fifth (p=.000). It is concluded that the instrument is valid and reliable to be applied to this type of samples and that men who study physical education and the first two years of the career present the highest levels of sexism.
