In this study, the effects of university students' sociodemographic characteristics and their thoughts on marriage on their attitudes towards marriage and gender roles were discussed.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed, involving a sample of 1082 university students. The data for this study were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Inönü Marital Attitude Scale (IMAS), and the Gender Roles Attitude Scale (GRAS). The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Kruskal Wallis Test, and Pearson Correlation analysis.
The mean age of the participants was 20.53 ± 1.96 years, 67.9% were female and 32.1% were male. The participants' mean GRAS total score was 144.93 ± 26.62, and the mean IMAS score was 71.80 ± 16.42. Significant gender-based differences were observed in IMAS and GRAS total/subscale scores (p < 0.001). Furthermore, societal gender roles were found to be significantly correlated with participants' income, views on the distribution of authority between spouses, and opinions on domestic violence. A significant positive correlation was observed between students' IMAS total scores and GRAS egalitarian gender role subscale scores (r = 0.108, p < 0.001). Moreover, IMAS total scores were found to be significantly negatively correlated with GRAS total and female gender role, gender role in marriage, traditional gender role, and male gender role subscale scores (r=-0.252, p < 0.001).
The participating students' gender role total scores were found to be very high. Accordingly, as parents of the future, young people are the group that needs to be prioritized, and it is essential to promote their positive attitudes towards marriage and gender equality.
本研究旨在探讨大学生的社会人口特征和婚姻观念对其婚姻态度和性别角色态度的影响。
采用横断面描述性研究设计，选取 1082 名大学生作为研究对象。采用社会人口学问卷、伊诺努婚姻态度量表（IMAS）和性别角色态度量表（GRAS）收集研究数据。采用描述性统计、Kruskal Wallis 检验和 Pearson 相关分析对数据进行分析。
参与者的平均年龄为 20.53±1.96 岁，其中 67.9%为女性，32.1%为男性。参与者的平均 GRAS 总分为 144.93±26.62，IMAS 评分为 71.80±16.42。IMAS 和 GRAS 总分/分量表得分在性别上存在显著差异（p<0.001）。此外，社会性别角色与参与者的收入、配偶之间权力分配的看法以及对家庭暴力的看法显著相关。学生的 IMAS 总分与 GRAS 平等性别角色分量表得分呈显著正相关（r=0.108，p<0.001）。此外，IMAS 总分与 GRAS 总分以及女性性别角色、婚姻中的性别角色、传统性别角色和男性性别角色分量表得分呈显著负相关（r=-0.252，p<0.001）。
研究对象的性别角色总分非常高。因此，作为未来的父母，年轻人是需要优先考虑的群体，必须促进他们对婚姻和性别平等的积极态度。
