| ps24d013 | I think it is important that more men start working in healthcare |
| ps24d014 | Women are better suited to care for small children than men |
| ps24d015 | Women are just as suited for jobs in engineering as men |
| ps24d016 | Men are on average a little more ambitious than women |
| ps24d017 | A woman is more suitable to care for loved ones who need help than a man |
| ps24d018 | Men are just as well suited for a job in healthcare as women |
| ps24d019 | Women are on average a little more social than men |
| ps24d020 | I think it is important that more women start working in engineering |
| ps24d021 | It is important that you earn enough to support yourself and any children you may have. This applies even if you have a partner with a good income |
| ps24d022 | It doesn’t matter if a woman earns less than her partner, as long as they have made clear arrangements about that |
| ps24d023 | When dividing paid work between them, partners should take into account that they might split up in the future |
| ps24d024 | It’s better for a balanced relationship that both partners earn roughly the same |
| ps24d025 | It doesn’t matter if a man earns less than his partner, as long as they have made clear arrangements about that |
| ps24d026 | The number of women in high-level management positions should increase significantly over the next 5 years |
| ps24d027 | Women who work full time have just as much of a chance to reach a high-level management position as men who work full time do |

| ps24d031 | Who do you believe are better suited for high-level management positions at major companies, women or men? Or does gender not matter? |
| ps24d032 | Men must take the initiative in the sexual domain |
| ps24d033 | When a woman says “no” to a sexual advance, she means “no” |
| ps24d034 | When a man wolf-whistles to a woman in the street, it’s a compliment to her |
| ps24d035 | Boys and men often impose their will in sexual relations |
| ps24d036 | Women are too quick to see men’s behaviour as sexual harassment |
| ps24d037 | It’s good that women don’t put up with unsolicited sexual comments from men |
| ps24d038 | Society has looked the other way for too long when it comes to sexual harassment that women face |
| ps24d039 | It’s impossible for men to understand what they can and cannot do in their interactions with women |
| ps24d040 | Reporting (sexually) inappropriate behaviour is detrimental to your job |
| ps24d041 | When a man has abused his wife, he should leave the home, not the woman |
| ps24d042 | When a woman is abused, both the man and the woman are to blame |
| ps24d043 | The police must exercise restraint in cases of domestic violence |
| ps24d044 | It’s understandable for a man to hit back after a woman starts to hit him |
| ps24d045 | People who say they have been abused by their (ex-)partner often exaggerate |
| ps24d046 | When there has been violence in a relationship, the victim should immediately end the relationship |
