Facets of Gender Stereotypes Change: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

This systematic literature review paper highlights the definitions, dimensions, and various outcomes associated with the changing gender stereotypes. Using PRISMA article selection guidelines, Sixty articles were selected that were published during the 1970-2020 period in Scopus and LENS.ORG databases. The results found that the definition of people’s attitudes towards adopting the culturally defined social role of the opposite biological sex is ideal for being globally applied. The most used dimensions found in studies are agency and communion. Depending on the surface nature of gender stereotypes change outcomes found, only a few outcomes are favorable to the economy. There are more negative related outcomes in the family, work, and health clusters. It implies that future research needs to consider overcoming these adverse outcomes. Besides, a gap was identified in gender stereotype change in the technology landscape, and future research needs more focus on these areas. Moreover, the definitions, dimensions, and consequences synthesized in this paper provide insights to build an extended theoretical foundation for gender research in the future. This study had a limited number of articles inclusion because only two databases were selected for article retrieval.

What does expatriate success mean? Developing a comprehensive definition through a systematic literature review

“…, 2009). This approach is most suitable for SLR because it eliminates bias in the above tri-phasic (article selection, analysis and reporting) workflow (Petticrew and Roberts, 2006; Priyashantha et al ., 2021a, b).…”

Career indecision: a systematic literature review

“…, 2009). The PRISMA is highly recommended for SLRs as it prevents bias in article selection, analysis and reporting of the findings (Petticrew and Roberts, 2006; Priyashantha et al. , 2021a, 2021b).…”

“…As a result, by default, the VOSviewer employs association strength normalization and generates a network in two dimensions known as “keyword co-occurrence network visualization” that has nodes representing each keyword located close to each other in a cluster if they are strongly related (van Eck and Waltman, 2014). As a result, a cluster can be used to represent a shared theme (Priyashantha et al. , 2021a, 2021b).…”

Efficiency and Performance of Microfinance Institutions: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The PRISMA mandates reporting the bias assessment in results synthesis due to the absence of pertinent results. (Andrlić et al, 2023;Priyashantha, 2022;Priyashantha, Dahanayake, et al, 2022;Priyashantha, De Alwis, et al, 2022b;Priyashantha et al, 2021aPriyashantha et al, , 2021bPriyashantha & Dilhani, 2022b) Thus, the systematic assessment was not used for this task; however, systematic and objective software utensils were followed to avoid bias in reporting the findings. Additionally, after doing a cooccurrence analysis of the keywords, the authors independently cross-checked the corresponding findings of each keyword.…”
