“…According to the tenets of social role theory (Eagly 1987;Eagly et al 2000), gender is a prerequisite for the distinct social roles that individuals assume, and by extension, also for the value that individuals associate with these distinct social roles. Traditionally women have been associated with the parental role of primary caregiver within the private home sphere while men have been expected to financially provide for his family through his work in the public sphere (Trew 1998;Wille 1995). Young women and men internalize these societal expectations, and develop beliefs regarding the social roles that they should assume based upon them (Deaux and Lafrance 1998).…”

“…Traditionally, the parental role associated with women is that of nurturer and caregiver within the home sphere, while the primary role associated with men is that of provider and breadwinner through his work outside of the home (Trew 1998;Wille 1995). These normative segregated parental roles have resulted in women assuming more responsibility for direct care-giving activities while men have traditionally been more involved with peripheral activities such as play (Bryant and Zick 1996;Fish et al 1992;Renk et al 2003).…”

“…Historically, to be a man encompassed being a father who financially provided for his children as opposed to being present at home and actively raising them (Trew 1998;Walzer 1998;Wille 1995). Correspondingly, men have been expected and encouraged to acquire skills such as leadership, decision-making, toughness, and assertiveness that enable them to attain status and wealth to economically provide for their family (Brannon 1976;Trew 1998) which is central to the male gender ideology.…”

This study examined parental role salience, expectations and intentions, and the extent to which the internalization of gender associated traits may be related to these parenting variables within emerging adults. Childless undergraduates at a western Canadian university (N=236; 119 women) completed a self-report questionnaire. As predicted, role salience and expectations were positively correlated with intentions. Internalization of expressive/ feminine traits, but not instrumental/masculine traits, was positively correlated with all three parenting variables, although gender moderated this relation. While femininity was unrelated to the expectations of women, men possessing more expressive traits held more positive views than their less expressive male counterparts. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of the parental roles anticipated by young women and men.

“…Perista, 2002;Wall, Aboim e Cunha, 2010), as explicações para tal também não parecem divergir. Diane Wille (1995) avaliou as interações de pais e mães com bebés até aos 6 meses, e perante as inseguranças que os homens demostraram sobre as suas competências parentais, defendeu que a sociedade deveria encorajar os homens a assumir a parentalidade e cuidarem das crianças. De facto, a investigação desenvolvida sobre os estereótipos de género tem confirmado a existência de um vasto consenso acerca dos atributos associados a homens e mulheres, sendo atribuídos aos homens atributos instrumentais e/ou agênticos e às mulheres atributos expressivos e/ou comunais (cf.…”

ResumoNeste artigo, pretendemos analisar os papéis de género nas relações familiares entre mulheres e homens durante a atual crise económica, partindo dos discursos sobre práticas de conciliação de 22 pessoas, recolhidos através de 4 grupos de discussão focalizada, realizados em freguesias rurais de Viana do Castelo. Verificámos que as mulheres elaboram inúmeras estratégias para organizar o seu dia-a-dia, procurando conciliar a profissão com a vida familiar, sem contar com o apoio dos maridos, mesmo quando estes se encontram em situação de desemprego. Concluímos que a partilha das expectativas que atribuem às mulheres a responsabilidade pelo cuidado da família impossibilita a consciência da desigualdade de género e a sua reivindicação social.Palavras-chave: papéis de género, relações de género, práticas de conciliação, organização familiar. Abstract Reconciliation experiences: analysing gender relations in the current economic crisisIn this paper, we analyse gender roles in family relations between women and men during the current economic crisis, using the discourses of reconciliation practices of 22 people, collected through four focus groups that were conducted in rural districts of Viana do Castelo. We found that women develop and employ several strategies to organise their daily routine, in order to reconcile professional and family life, without relying on their husbands' support, even when they are unemployed. We concluded that shared expectations that hold women alone responsible for family care preclude the awareness of gender inequality and its related social claim.Keywords: gender roles, gender relations, reconciliation practices, family organisation. Resumé Les expériences de conciliation: analyse des relations entre les sexes dans le contexte actuel de crise économiqueDans cet article, nous analysons les rôles de genre dans les relations familiales entre les femmes et les hommes dans le contexte actuel de crise économique, en utilisant les témoi-gnages de 22 personnes sur leurs pratiques de conciliation, recueillis lors de quatre groupes de discussion réalisés dans les districts ruraux de Viana do Castelo. Nous avons constaté que les femmes recourent à de nombreuses stratégies pour organiser leur quotidien, en essayant de concilier vie professionnelle et familiale, sans pouvoir compter sur le soutien de leurs maris, même quand ceux-ci sont au chômage. Nous en avons conclu que les attentes partagées social quant à la responsabilité des soins de la famille incombant aux femmes, empêche la prise de conscience de l'inégalité des sexes et leur revendication sociale.Mots-clés: rôles de genre, relations entre les sexes, pratiques de conciliation, organisation de la famille.

“…Chaplin, Cole, & Zahn-Waxler, 2005;Cinamon & Rich, 2002;Starrels, 1994;Wille, 1995), we also seek to explore the possibility that gender moderates the relationship between psychosocial support and both work-family and work-parenting strain. More specifically, it is increasingly apparent that males and females may utilize social network resources differently (Raider & Burt, 1996;Thomas & Higgins, 1996;van Emmerik, 2004) and that gender likely has an effect particularly as it relates to subjective career success (cf.…”
