“…Three U.S. studies (Davis, 2007;Davis & Wills, 2010;Fan & Marini, 2000) focus mainly on Christian respondents (both Protestant and Catholic) although they also include "other religions" and "not being religious." These studies argue that religiosity is not of importance in the construction of youngsters' GRA.…”

“…Carlson and Knoester (2011), Rollins and White (1982), and Thornton and colleagues (1983) stated that youngsters show a greater similarity to their mother. Davis and Wills (2010), however, nuanced these findings and argued that parental gender interacts with socialization of GRA in the family. Davis and Wills (2010) explained their findings: "The most egalitarian adolescents are those with egalitarian fathers, and among those adolescents mothers' ideology has no influence.…”

The Relationship Between Youngsters’ Gender Role Attitudes and Individual, Home, and School Characteristics

Because of the importance of gender role attitudes (GRA) for both academic and social outcomes, it is crucial to understand how GRA is constructed and changes over time. A systematic literature review was conducted to look into the relationship between youngsters' GRA and individual, home, and school characteristics. Thirty-five international studies were identified through searches in different databases. The review reveals that the studies mostly apply a deterministic view to studying the construction of GRA, focusing predominantly on parent-child transmission. Effects of the school environment and individuals' own life experiences are under-studied. Also, data are mostly cross-sectional and leave little room for investigating evolutions of GRA over time. Suggestions for future research are formulated focusing on (a) a life-course approach that considers GRA as situated, experience-related, and therefore changing over time and (b) an intersectionality-informed approach investigating GRA at the intersects of multiple diversity dimensions.

“…Therefore, in the family domain and their professional roles, the women who presented egalitarian attitudes toward gender had families that behaved in non-egalitarian manners and in which men participated little in family roles (Deutsch, 1999). In addition, families with double-employment that exhibited egalitarian attitudes toward gender roles tended to practice a traditional division of family and professional roles in their daily lives (Davis & Wills, 2010). Some families with traditional attitudes toward gender roles shared some tasks, particularly those relating to childcare (Deutsch, 1999).…”

Attitudes toward gender roles result from a social construction process that has implications for the accepted gender role models for men and women. This study aims at the adaptation and factorial validation of a measurement scale for attitudes toward gender roles. The sample consisted of 746 college students and young professionals. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to check the scale's structure. A two-factor structure was found for the Attitudes toward Gender Roles Scale: the first factor reflects a traditional division of gender roles, and the second factor reflects an egalitarian division of gender roles. A preliminary study using the scale was conducted on 101 families with adult children (each family included a father, a mother, and an adult child with a university degree). The results revealed the importance of the scale in assessing the attitudes of different generations toward gender roles. Keywords: attitudes, gender, factor analysis Adaptação e Validação Fatorial da Escala de Atitudes Relativas aos Papéis de GêneroResumo: As atitudes relativas aos papéis de gênero resultam de um processo de construção social com implicações no modo como se definem os papéis sociais considerados adequados para homens e mulheres. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a adaptação e a validação fatorial de uma escala que avalia as atitudes em relação aos papéis de gênero. No estudo participaram 746 estudantes universitários e jovens profissionais. Para validar a estrutura fatorial vários modelos foram testados recorrendo a análises fatoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias. A estrutura fatorial obtida é composta por dois fatores correlacionados: o primeiro refere-se à divisão tradicional dos papéis de gênero e o segundo aponta para uma divisão igualitária dos papéis de gênero. Um estudo preliminar com o instrumento foi efetuado junto de 101 tríades familiares (pai, mãe e jovem adulto com diploma universitário), permitindo evidenciar a importância do instrumento para a avaliação dos papéis de gênero em diferentes gerações.

“…Parents are influential in shaping decisions about whom their children marry, whether they are employed outside the home, future negotiations over household labour, and in inculcating gender ideologies more generally (Davis & Wills, 2010;Farré & Vella, 2013;Johnston et al, 2013;McGinn et al, 2015).…”

When the past comes back to haunt you: The enduring influence of upbringing on the work–family decisions of professional parents

Research on work-family balance decisions generally presents them as an individual's rational choice between alternatives. The anticipatory socialisation literature highlights the role that early formative experiences play in shaping work and parenting decisions. We go further to emphasise the role of habitus -historically constituted dispositions -in workfamily balance decisions. This relational approach explores how the entrenched and historically formed dispositions of individuals interact dynamically with contextual (i.e. organizational) imperatives. Numerous studies have highlighted the difficulties of reconciling the intense demands of professional careers with family lives. Drawing on 148 interviews with 78 male and female professionals, our study looks at much deeper rooted causes of work-family conflict in professional service firms than have previously been considered. We identify four broad patterns of response to the work-family conflict: professionals may willingly reproduce their parental model, reproduce their parental model against their will, willingly distance themselves from their parental model, and distance themselves from the parental model against their will. We show that the impediments to greater equality lie not only in organizational and societal structures, but within individuals themselves in the form of historically constituted dispositions which contribute towards the maintenance and reproduction of those structures.
