Introduction
The purpose of this study was to highlight the differences in attitudes towards African
Gender Roles between males and females. I will begin by describing how gender
was portrayed and to determine how gender roles are depicted and defined.
Background of study
This study was based on the symbolic interaction theory of gender that suggests
that social roles are learned over time and are subject to constant reinforcement.
The significance of this study was derived from the broad topic of gender, because
gender issues are relevant to a variety of fields and exploring the effects of gender in
one field contributes to the understanding of gender in another field. For a clear
understanding of our given topic I will be looking back into how gender roles were
formed and what influenced these roles before I can begin my research on the
attitudes of both males and females towards gender roles.
What are gender roles?
Gender roles in society means how we're expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and
conduct ourselves based upon our assigned sex. For example, girls and women are
generally expected to dress in typically feminine ways and be polite,
accommodating, and nurturing. When it comes to spheres of influence in an
individual’s life, the nuclear family exerts the most influence. This, according to
Cipriani, Guiliano & Jeanne (2013), is evident in the fact that social scientists
generally view the family as the primary determinant of an individual’s personality,
beliefs, and values. The family plays an active role in an individual’s life by
consciously socialising the individual to cultural traits; something which (in the
African family context) is mostly done by female guardians (Cipriani et al, 2013).
In society, men and women are allocated different roles (Mudiare, 2013). According
to Steele & Barling (1996, p. 639), gender roles can be defined as “prescriptive
beliefs about appropriate gender behaviour and can be viewed along a continuum
ranging from traditional to feminist”. These beliefs about appropriate gender
behaviour have a pervasive influence in multiple spheres of an individual’s life and it
is what shapes these attitudes about gender roles. This ranges from beliefs about
one’s academic abilities (Steele & Barling, 1996), acceptance of adultery and
spousal violence (Mudiare, 2013), to even many working women being required to
do a “second shift” when they get home after work (Scott & Clery, 2013). All of the
above are influenced by perceptions of gender roles.
