This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the gender-role types and child-rearing gender-role attitude of the single-parents, as well as their children's gender role traits and family socio-economic status, on social adjustment. We recruited 458 pairs of single parents and their children aged 8-18 by purposive sampling. The research tools included the Family Socio-economic Status Questionnaire, Sex Role Scales, Parental Child-rearing Gender-role Attitude Scale and Social Adjustment Scale. The results indicated: (a) single mothers' and their daughters' feminine traits were both higher than their masculine traits, and sons' masculine traits were higher than their feminine traits; the majority gender-role type of single parents and their children was androgyny; significant differences were found between children's gender-role types depending on different raiser, the proportion of girls' masculine traits raised by single fathers was significantly higher than those who were raised by single mothers; (b) family socio-economic status and single parents' gender-role types positively influenced parental child-rearing gender-role attitude, which in turn, influenced the children's gender traits, and further affected children's social adjustment.
本研究旨在评估单亲父母的性别角色类型和育儿性别角色态度，以及他们子女的性别角色特征和家庭社会经济地位对社会适应的影响。我们通过目的抽样招募了458对单亲父母及其8至18岁的子女。研究工具包括家庭社会经济地位问卷、性别角色量表、父母育儿性别角色态度量表和社会适应量表。结果表明：(a) 单身母亲及其女儿的女性特质均高于男性特质，儿子的男性特质高于女性特质；单亲父母及其子女的多数性别角色类型为双性化；不同抚养者的子女性别角色类型存在显著差异，单亲父亲抚养的女孩男性特质比例显著高于单亲母亲抚养的女孩；(b) 家庭社会经济地位和单亲父母的性别角色类型对父母育儿性别角色态度有积极影响，进而影响子女的性别特质，并进一步影响子女的社会适应。
