Despite growing public awareness and policy efforts, gender equality has not yet been fully established in Western societies. Previous research has shown that hostile and benevolent sexist attitudes, which are grounded in traditional gender stereotypes, play a key role in the reproduction of gender inequalities. Whereas, hostile and benevolent sexism among adolescents has been previously studied, limited attention has been paid to social characteristics in understanding the support for these attitudes. In this article, we aim to study how the family, the school and romantic partnerships relate to adolescents' benevolent and hostile sexist attitudes. We relied on data gathered in 2013 by the Flemish Youth Research Platform and performed multivariate analyses on 755 parent-child dyads ( = 342; = 413). Our results indicate that social characteristics especially matter to explain the variation in benevolent sexist attitudes among girls and hostile sexist attitudes among boys. Among girls, being in a romantic relationship and parents' traditional moral beliefs was strongly related to benevolent sexism; while for boys, hostile sexism was strongly related to being enrolled in technical and vocational education. In the conclusion, we elaborate on the implications of our findings.
尽管公众意识不断提高且政策有所努力，但西方社会的性别平等尚未完全确立。先前的研究表明，基于传统性别刻板印象的敌意和善意性别歧视态度在性别不平等的再现中起着关键作用。虽然此前已经对青少年中的敌意和善意性别歧视进行了研究，但在理解对这些态度的支持方面，对社会特征的关注有限。在本文中，我们旨在研究家庭、学校和恋爱关系如何与青少年的善意和敌意性别歧视态度相关。我们依赖于弗拉芒青年研究平台在2013年收集的数据，并对755对亲子二元组（女孩 = 342；男孩 = 413）进行了多变量分析。我们的结果表明，社会特征对于解释女孩中善意性别歧视态度的差异以及男孩中敌意性别歧视态度的差异尤为重要。在女孩中，恋爱关系和父母的传统道德观念与善意性别歧视密切相关；而对于男孩来说，敌意性别歧视与接受技术和职业教育密切相关。在结论部分，我们阐述了研究结果的含义。
