| dc.description.abstract | The expecled lasks, beliefs and behaviours of Awuramaba male adolescents as reflecting masculine construction was investigated. The study was done on male adolescents of Awuramaba community. In order to get comprehensive information about the masculine characteristics of these adolescents, data was gathered from various segments of the Awuramba population: male adolescents themselves, and their parents, siblings, peers and the elderly people in the community. In general eight focus group discussions, 24 individual interviews and two key informant interviews were conducted. As indicated by previous research results such as Co-nnell as cited in Belay (1999), although it varies from country to country, culture to culture, community to community and individual to individual, aggressive behavioural expressions, sho·wing sense of dominance, feelings of independence, female subordination" heterosexual prowess, assertiveness, etc. are the indicators of masculine behaviour in male adolescents of various cultures and communities. However, the present finding suggests that attributes of masculine identity construction among male adolescents of the Awuramba community are drawn from deep sense of human respect, loving work, supporting others, developing feelings of interdependence" developing gender equality and egalitarian belief and pursuing communol way of life. | en_US |
