Men and women from three religious groups; Hindus, Zoroastrians and Christians completed the Attitudes Toward Women Scale, the Just World Beliefs Scale and the Locus of Control Scale. Because of the role and status of women in their respective cultures it was predicted that men would be more conservative than women, and that Hindus would be more conservative than Zoroastrians who in turn would be more conservative than Christians in their attitudes towards women. It was also predicted that conservative attitudes towards women would be associated with unjust world and external locus of control beliefs. The above hypotheses were confirmed. Furthermore a detailed analysis of the responses to Attitude Toward Women Scale revealed where the major agreements and disagreements between the various groups arose. These results are compared with those from American studies. The limitations and difficulties associated with research of this kind is also discussed.
