Abstract
One of the intentions of this study is to assess the prevalence of gender stereotypical attitude among adolescents. The study has also attempted to examine the influence of demographic and socioeconomic factors of adolescents and their parents for their gender stereotypical attitude development. The research participants of this study were students drawn from government and private school. The total numbers of the research participants were 217, of which 123 were from government school and the rest 94 were from private school. If we look into the gender composition of the respondents 114 were females and 103 were males. The preliminary data has gathered through questionnaire that request for demographic information and response on the gender stereotype attitude measuring items. To analyze the data and answer the seven research questions; the study employed three statistical methods called one sample t test, independent samples t test and one way ANOVA. Consequently, the result confirmed the prevalence of gender stereotypical attitude among adolescents and the existence of significant difference in gender stereotypical attitude between girls and boys; and government and private school students. Similarly, parents educational and occupational status have found to influence their children’s gender stereotypical attitude, however adolescents’ living arrangement with their parents wasn’t found to affect their gender related attitude. Based on the study findings, the researcher finally forward suggestions and recommendations that can be used as an additional highlight on how we could change the existing gender related mind setup of our society in general, adolescents in particular.
