Religiosity and gender equality: comparing natives and Muslim migrants in Germany

Investigation of senses of sexism and religiosity in terms of sports variable

“…As known, many studies in Turkey (2,20) and abroad (12) have presented that males scored higher on HS than did females. HS has been found as an important predictor of Turkish students' attitudes toward rape victims and of attitudes toward wife abuse for men and women in Turkey argued that HS acts to legitimate wife abuse (20).…”

“…We define benevolent sexism (BS) as a set of interrelated attitudes toward women that are sexist in terms of viewing women stereotypically and in restricted roles but that are subjectively positive in feeling tone (for the perceiver) and also tend to elicit behaviors typically categorized as prosocial (e.g., helping) or intimacy seeking (e.g., self-disclosure). Glick and Fiske (1,12) suggest that sexist attitudes combine both subjective negative and positive feelings, which they define as "ambivalent sexism".
