| description | This paper is concerned with the extent to which "traditionality" of parents'
attitudes towards the other sex are related to sex-bias in expectations regarding
children and to involvement in sex-typical household tasks. We also examine each of
these in relation to how parents see themselves along dimensions of "masculinity"
(instrumental traits) and "femininity" (expressive traits). To obtain a wide
spectrum of cultural values, comparable data were collected on parents of
preschool-aged children (n = 161) in Cambridge (England) and Budapest (Hungary).
Parents' personalities, attitudes, and behaviour were assessed by self-report
questionnaires. Parents with more traditional views on male-female adult relations
had more sex-biased expectations of their children. Furthermore, with the exception
of Budapest mothers, parents who had more traditional attitudes and expectations
were more gender-stereotyped in their behaviour. Mothers' sex-role behaviour in
Budapest was related to their husbands' attitudes. Comparing parents according to
sex and location the following results emerge: fathers were more sex-biased in
parenting expectations and more traditional in their attitudes to adult relations
than mothers. Sex-typical household and child-care duties were more likely to be
performed by the parent of the traditionally "appropriate" sex. Budapest parents
were more sex-biased in their attitudes than Cambridge parents, but less
gender-typed in their role-sharing behaviour. This difference in role-sharing was
related to maternal employment.
These results further support the contention that the various gender-related
phenomena-traits, attitudes, values, interests, preferences, and behaviour- are
multifactorial. As a considerable variation has been found in parents'
gender-related personality, behaviour, and attitudes, it remains to be seen whether
this variation is reflected in any way in the behaviour of their preschool daughters
and sons. |
