Although sex role ideology (i.e., beliefs about the proper roles for men and women) is linked with self-definition and male-female interactions, researchers have rarely examined such beliefs among U.S. immigrants. This study examined the cultural (ethnic identity, self-construal) and demographic (gender, age, years in United States) correlates of sex role ideology among 170 (88 male, 82 female) East Asian immigrants using psychometrically established measures. Male participants who endorsed ethnic identity and interdependent self-construal were more likely to report traditional sex roles; female participants who lived for a longer period of time in the United States and who endorsed independent self-construal were more likely to report sex role equality. Clinicians should consider assessing sex role ideology to reduce the likelihood of stereotyping their immigrant clients.
尽管性别角色意识形态(即关于男性和女性适当角色的信念)与自我定义以及男女互动有关,但研究人员很少在美国移民中研究此类信念。本研究使用心理测量学上既定的测量方法,对170名(88名男性,82名女性)东亚移民的性别角色意识形态的文化(民族认同、自我建构)和人口统计学(性别、年龄、在美国居住年限)相关因素进行了考察。认同民族认同和相互依存自我建构的男性参与者更有可能报告传统性别角色;在美国居住时间较长且认同独立自我建构的女性参与者更有可能报告性别角色平等。临床医生应考虑评估性别角色意识形态,以减少对其移民客户进行刻板印象的可能性。
