ADOLESCENT GENDER ROLES: THE ROLE OF PARENTAL ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS

Cilj istraživanja bio je u uzorku adolescenata ispitati odnos između stavova prema rodnoj neravnopravnosti i kvalitete interakcija s roditeljima. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 124 sudionika, od čega 65 učenika i 59 učenica. Istraživanje je provedeno u tri škole: u dvije manje osnovne škole u predgrađu Splita gdje su obuhvaćeni 7. i 8. razredi, te u srednjoj strukovnoj školi u Splitu gdje su obuhvaćeni 1. i 2. razredi. Korištene su skale koje ispituju kvalitetu interakcije roditelj-dijete (posebno majka i otac) te stavove prema rodnoj neravnopravnosti. Rezultati su pokazali da postoji značajna povezanost između spola i rodne neravnopravnosti pri čemu dječaci pokazuju više rodne neravnopravnosti nego djevojke. Obrazovanje roditelja nije se pokazalo povezanim ni s kvalitetom interakcija na relaciji roditelj-dijete, niti s rodnom neravnopravnosti. Rodna neravnopravnost i kvaliteta interakcija s roditeljima su negativno povezani - što je stav prema rodnoj neravnopravnosti pozitivniji, kvaliteta odnosa s roditeljima je lošija. Iskustvo rodne neravnopravnosti u obrazovanju pokazalo se negativno povezanim s kvalitetom odnosa s majkom dok nije utvrđena značajna povezanost između iskustva rodne neravnopravnosti u interpersonalnim odnosima i kvalitete interakcija s roditeljima.The primary concern of this study was to examine the relationship between attitudes towards gender inequality and the quality of interaction with parents in a sample of adolescents. The sample included 124 participants, of which 65 were male and 59 female. The research was conducted in three schools: two primary schools in the suburbs of Split, where it covered 7th and 8th grade and in a secondary school in Split, where it covered 1st and 2nd grade. The scales were used to assess the quality of parent-child interactions (interactions with mother and father separately) and attitudes to gender inequality. The results show that there is a significant connection between gender and gender inequality and that boys show more gender inequality than girls. Parental education was not related to the quality of interaction between parent and child or with gender inequality. Gender inequality and quality of interaction with the parents are negatively related - the more positive attitude towards gender inequality, the worse quality of the relationship with parents. The experience of gender inequality in education has been shown to be negatively related to the quality of relationship with the mother and no significant correlation was found between the experience of gender inequality in interpersonal relationships and the quality of relationship with parents
