“…They are thus expected to become more supportive of gender equality if the destination society has a more gender equal culture than the origin society (e.g. Bejarano, Manzano, and Montoya 2011;Bernhardt, Goldscheider, and Goldscheider 2007;Diehl, Koenig, and Ruckdeschel 2009;Norris and Inglehart 2012;Röder 2014;Teney 2009)-as has been illustrate above for the situation studied here.…”

“…Consequently, a growing support for gender equality among Turkish migrants in Europe will not be strong proof of assimilation, even though results from comparable studies have been interpreted as such (see Bejarano, Manzano, and Montoya 2011).…”

“…While the impact of religion is fairly limited (cf.

To test the latter part of this claim, a comparison with non-migrant in the society of origin is needed (see Nauck 1989;cf.…”

Gender Equality Attitudes among Turks in Western Europe and Turkey: The Interrelated Impact of Migration and Parents' Attitudes

This study applies unique data on three-generation migrant and non-migrant lineages to assess how assimilation and intergenerational transmission theories hold up for attitudes on gender equality in the context of Turkey-Europe migration. Information on migration histories of families and gender equality attitudes is collected for over 800 families. Based on those data assimilation and retention theories and theories on intergenerational transmission as a means to reproduce cultural attitudes among migrant families are tested from a dissimilation-from-origin perspective: how do migrants and their descendants differ from non-migrants from the same area of origin. The results of this study support concepts that focus on context-and path-dependency: segmented assimilation is shown in the form that the more traditional migrants who move back to Turkey have children with more traditional views than comparable people without migrant ancestors (retention). At the same time, among lineages that settle in Europe, migration seems to speed up the assimilation process of becoming more supportive of gender equality. Moreover, the youth that grew up in Europe is hardly influenced by the parents' attitudes, whereas the ones growing up in Turkey are. This supports the idea of migration being a transmission belt for intergenerational transmission.

In general Latinos hold more conservative attitudes regarding gender roles when compared to Whites. However, Latinos born in the United States with higher education are more likely to have egalitarian gender role attitudes compared to Latino immigrants. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between gender role attitudes and acculturation, marianismo, and relationship control, among Latina immigrants living in the United States. A hierarchical regression and correlation analysis were used to measure the outcome of this study. A total of 234 women were included in the study with a mean age of 34 years old. The education level was less than high school (53 percent), with the majority employed (54 percent). The average time living in the United States was 8 years (SD = 2.0). Acculturation, marianismo, and relationship control were significantly associated with gender‐role, R2 = .207, F (3, 95) = 11.3, p = 0.001. The correlation analysis showed an inverse relationship between egalitarian attitudes and marianismo (r = −.304, p < .0005) and a positive relationship with acculturation (r = .295, p < .0005). Egalitarian gender role attitudes were observed with an inverse bidirectional relationship between marianismo and acculturation among Latino immigrant women living in the United States.

Differences in Gender Norms Between Countries: Are They Valid? The Issue of Measurement Invariance

The values and attitudes towards gender roles are often investigated and compared from a cross-country perspective without the proper statistical treatment of the measurement invariance (MI) assessment. This implies that the conclusions based on composite scales of gender norms, gender role attitudes or gender egalitarianism, to name only a few, may be questionable. In this study, we address this lack by investigating the cross-country MI properties of the Gender Equality Scale (GES) based on World Value Survey data. We use multi-group confirmatory factor analysis with and without alignment to determine the configural, weak, strong and strict MI. The results show that the concept of gender equality is not comparable across all countries involved in the survey. In particular, it seems to differ between Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe. We claim that only selected Central and Eastern European countries exhibit a configural MI but fail to show full weak MI and definitely fail to show full strong and full strict MI. However, under the aligned measurement framework, we succeeded in showing that for these countries, comparisons of the country rankings with respect to the GES are valid provided that a correction for non-invariance of certain factor loadings and/or intercepts is applied. Our study shows that the most egalitarian gender role attitudes measured by the GES are observed in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania and Croatia. They are significantly higher than the gender equality attitudes recorded in the lowest scoring countries Poland, Slovakia, Albania and Romania.
