| Abstract: | The issue of gender equity in the family remains to be a subject of scientific inquiry despite
the various attempts of researchers to tackle the problem. This paper is a further attempt to
shade light on this pressing issue. More specifically, it is designed to study adolescents’
perceptions of their mothers’ and fathers’ behavior in gender role socialization of children
to chores inside and outside the home. It also attempted to examine whether there were
differences in the mode of parental gender socialization among various religious,
educational, ethnicity and sex groups.
Subjects of the study include 310 randomly selected adolescent students from three high
schools (Dire Dawa Senior Secondary, Bisrate Gebriel, and Sabian high schools) with a total
population of 7000. And also 20 parents who were living in Dire Dawa involved in the
study.
The analysis were carried out using the chi-square, t-test, three-way ANOVA and multiple
regressions along with descriptive statistical techniques. Results showed that traditional
parental behavior was strongly evident in daughter’s doing inside chores and don’s
performing outside chores. General, it is evident from the perspective of the adolescent, that
stereotypic gender role are being perpetuated in our society, particularly in the family |
