Abstract Details

2002, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Sociology.
Gender inequalities have received increased attention over the last century largely because of the international women’s movement. While research demonstrates that social, economic, political, and personal indicators influence gender role attitudes, less attention has been paid to contextual-level variables. I studied cross-national differences in gender role attitudes among individuals in 39 countries, all with diverse socio-economic, political, and religious backgrounds. In particular, I explained the effects of welfare state effort and type of welfare state regime on gender role attitudes. I found that measures of the welfare state have a significant, negative effect on the conservatism of gender role attitudes. In addition, I found that almost all of the contextual-level variables have a significant effect on attitudes towards gender roles outside of the home. Therefore, I argue that individual effects alone cannot account for cross-national differences in attitudes towards gender roles in the public sphere
