Radical sex role ideology and the Finnish gender role movement in the late 1960s
2022
An active discussion of gender roles and the need to renegotiate them took place in the late 1960s in Finland. While previous studies have associated this ‘sex role debate’ with the independent civic organisation Association 9, this article focuses on the wider gender role movement. The article analyses the interplay and differences among the Finnish Women’s Democratic League, the Committee for Women’s Status, and Association 9’s grassroots activism between 1965 and 1970. It demonstrates that similar ideas about sex roles were presented simultaneously in two public spheres: the dominant public, where the ideas were promoted by Association 9, and the people’s democratic counterpublic, which …
Análisis de la ley de protección a la maternidad desde la perspectiva de género
2010
La Ley 6/2009 de 20 de junio de la Generalitat de Protección a la Maternidad representa un retroceso en el avance hacia la plena igualdad en ambos sexos, y reproduce cuantos estereotipos de género existen alrededor del nacimiento y crianza de las/os hijas/os. No es sencilla la tarea de elaborar propuestas y políticas sociales exentas de estos rasgos, debido a la base cultural que representan, pero no por ello, se deben de dejar pasar por alto. El análisis de dicha ley, desarrollado a continuación, se realiza con perspectiva de género y desde el trabajo social, teniendo en cuenta las necesidades de las familias y los recursos existentes.

Employment stability and mental health in Spain: towards understanding the influence of gender and partner/marital status
2018
Background: The growing demand for labour flexibility has resulted in decreasing employment stability that could be associated with poor mental health status. Few studies have analysed the whole of the work force in considering this association since research on flexible forms of employment traditionally analyses employed and unemployed people separately. The gender division of work, and family characteristics related to employment situation, could modify its association with mental wellbeing. The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between a continuum of employment stability and mental health taking into account gender and partner/marital status. Methods: We selected 685…
Masculine Gender Role Stress
2003
Eisler and Blalock (Clin. Psychol. Rev. 11 (1991) 45) developed a cognitively mediated notion of Masculine Gender Role Stress (MGRS) which assumes that rigid commitment to masculine schemata for appraisal and coping with life's problems may both produce stress and result in dysfunctional coping patterns in men. Previous findings obtained in a non-clinical sample pointed to the ability of the MGRS General scale to predict different forms of irrational fears. Using a predominantly psychologically distressed sample, the present study replicated this finding. In addition, different subordinate concepts of MGRS (Physical inadequacy, Emotional inexpressiveness, Subordination to women, Intellectua…
Work, family and daily mobility: a new approach to the problem through a mobility survey
2013
Objectives: To analyze gender inequalities in socioeconomic factors affecting the amount of time spent travelling for work-related and home-related reasons among working individuals aged between 30 and 44 years old during a weekday in Catalonia (Spain). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were obtained from employed individuals aged between 30 and 44 years of age who reported travelling on the day prior to the interview in the Catalan Mobility Survey 2006 (N = 23,424). Multivariate logistic regression models were adjusted to determine the factors associated with longer time spent travelling according to the reason for travelling (work- or home-related journeys). Odds ratios…

Reducing the Cost of Being the Boss: Authentic Leadership Suppresses the Effect of Role Stereotype Conflict on Antisocial Behaviors in Leaders and En…
2021
What drives entrepreneurs to engage in antisocial economic behaviors? Without dismissing entrepreneurs’ agency in their decision-making processes, our study aims to answer this question by proposing that antisocial economic behaviors are a dysfunctional coping mechanism to reduce the psychological tension that entrepreneurs face in their day-to-day activities. Further, given the overlap between the male gender role stereotype and both leader and entrepreneur role stereotypes, this psychological tension should be stronger in female entrepreneurs (or any person who identifies with the female gender role). We argue that besides the well-established female gender role – leader role incongruence…
Women as main earners in Europe
2014
This paper conducts a cross-sectional empirical research aimed at documenting that couples with women as main earners represent a non-negligible share of the European populations today. We identify the socio-demographic characteristics of couples with women as main earners in comparison to couples with men as main earners and couples with equal-earners. We undertake a comparative and cross-temporal approach using micro-level survey data for 18 European countries from the European Social Survey and two years, 2004 and 2010, covering the period before and during the economic crisis.
Hacia una mayor autonomía en la construcción de identidades de género partiendo de la mirada crítica de Mernissi y el Hachmi
2021
[Resumen] En este trabajo destacamos dos problemas en la construcción de identidades de género por parte del alumnado adolescente: la escasa incorporación de contribuciones culturales femeninas en manuales escolares y cánones literarios, y la imagen distorsionada de las mujeres de origen marroquí instaurada en el imaginario colectivo, que oculta sus manifestaciones de autonomía y perjudica las relaciones interculturales. Nuestro objetivo fundamental es realizar un análisis discursivo de cuatro títulos de Fatema Mernissi y Najat El Hachmi en relación a la identidad de género para establecer las claves del modelo subyacente y valorar, a continuación, las posibilidades de explotación didáctica…
Attitudes toward gay men and lesbians and their relationship with gender role beliefs in a sample of chilean university students
2012
ABSTRACT. This paper analyzes the relation between gender role beliefs and prejudice toward gay men and lesbians in Chile. Participants were Chilean university students (N = 283). Results indicate that men are more prejudiced than women and religious people are more prejudiced than non-religious people. On the other hand, gender role beliefs mediate sex differences in prejudice. The participants' more traditional gender role beliefs hold more negative attitudes toward gay men and lesbians. Men are more prejudiced than women, particularly in their attitudes toward gay men. In addition, sex differences in attitudes toward lesbians and gay men are mediated by gender role beliefs.
