The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the development of the sex role stereotype and gender, parenting type, coeducation, and activities with opposit sex.
Total 551 (187 male and 364 female) high school students were used for this study. All subjects lived in Daegu Metropolis. Three systemized questionnaires were used to measure the independent variables and dependent variables: Parents' Child Rearing Scale, Sex Role Stereotype and Sex Role Identity Scale. ANOVA and Chi-square were conducted to analyze the data of this study.
The results of this study are as follows. First, male students showed stronger sex role stereotype contrast to female students. Second, the subjects whose parents’ child rearing type was love and autonomy also had stronger sex role stereotype in contrast with the subjects grown up under the condition of hostile and controled rearing type. Third, there were no significant difference in sex role stereotype whether the subjects have the coeducation or not. In male subjects, the students report high activity with female are likely to be classified into masculinity type and androgyny type while the students reported low activity with female are likely to be classified into undifferentiated type. On the other hand, female students who have high activity with male students are likely to be classified into androgyny type and those have low activity with male classified into undifferentiated type. The implication and limitation of this study for future research were discussed.
