| dc.description.abstract | The ultimate objective of this study was to discover the influence of age and sex on gender role perception in the Awra Amba community. For this purpose, a total of 180 participants (from 403 total Awra Amba population), 60 from three age groups (children, adolescents and adults), 30 from two sex groups (male and female) have been selected by using stratified random sampling method. Two different instruments (Personal Attribute Questionnaire and Social Role Questionnaire) have been adapted and pilot tested. Based on the result of the pilot test, two vague items have been discarded from the Personal Attribute Questionnaire. But, one culturally unfit item has also been removed from the Social Role Questionnaire before the pilot test, and generally the two instruments exhibited almost closer reliability indices with the original reliabilities. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, One-Way ANOVA and independent Hest have been employed. In relation to the major findings, there is a statistically significant difference in gender role perception among the Awra Amba children, adolescents and adults. While children hold stereotypic and traditional gender role perception, adolescents and adults demonstrate androgynous and egalitarian gender role perception. Besides" egalitarian and nontraditional gender role perception increases with age in the Awra Amba community when one grows older from childhood to adolescence and adulthood. Finally, statistically significant difference has not been found between the Awra Amba males and females in gender role perception. Both males' and females' gender role perception is androgynous and egalitarian or non-traditional. | en_US |
