[[alternative]]The Research of men's Gender Role Stereotype Shape and Release

[[abstract]]When we talk about the issue of gender, the role of the male should not be omitted. As to achieve the goal of gender equality, it is definitely needed to invite the male to join together to examine “the gender trap” formed by the social culture. These traps not only oppress women in a great deal but also cause the relative damage to men. To understand how the thinking works in a man when he plays “ the men’s gender role “ can absolutely help to release the men’s gender role, and more over to accelerate gender equality. As a result, the goal of this thesis is to discuss what factors are influencing the stereotype impression of gender roles in men’s life, what events release the men’s gender role, and what they think afterwards. I expect that men and society become more egalitarian by the finding. This qualitative research uses the life history method and profound semi-structured interviews with three men. Trying to understand what happened to men in every development stage cause the formation and the releasing of their gender role stereotype. The finding is interpreted with every interview word-by-word to abstract concepts, analyze data, and explain by the researcher. Three life histories are presented individually and with fish bone graphs to sketch the formation and the releasing of their gender role stereotype. Finally, I analyze the findings in integration. The outcome of this research is as follows: One: The background factors in the formation of the gender role 1.the upbringing of parents cause the formation of the gender role stereotype 2.the differences between the city and the countryside in the South and the North of Taiwan shape different degree of the gender role stereotype 3.the teacher and school curriculum cshape the formation of the gender role stereotype 4.the same generation interaction shpaes the formation of the gender role stereotype 5.the television and movie cause the formation of the gender role stereotype 6.career interaction influences the formation of the gender role stereotype Two: The background factors in the relaxation of the gender role of the male 1.the television and movie relesae the men’s gender role stereotype 2. Romantic love and household affairs release the men’s gender role stereotype 3.holding immeasurable power of mother and rotten uncle release the men’s gender role stereotype 4.the school course and competent female teacher release the men’s gender role stereotype 5.the personal specialty releases the men’s gender role stereotype Three: The opinion after the relaxation of men’s gender role stereotype The emphasis on expression of three objects of the study is that it is a continued progress, i.e., even though relax some of gender roles, there are still other gender roles. The resulting from this research are classified as follows: One: the proposal for parents’ attitudes about upbringing Two: the proposal for the teacher and the school course Three: the proposal for marriage education Four: the proposal for male friends Five: the proposal for future research
