The effect of sex-role orientation on psychological well-being was investigated with data from a three-generations study of Mexican Americans. More specifically, we examined the hypothesis that less traditional sex-role orientation is positively related to psychological well-being (other things equal) and that this relationship is stronger among the older than among younger generations. Traditional sex-role orientation was positively related to depression among older women, lending partial support to the hypothesis. Among men, however, traditional sex-role orientation was not related to well-being in the older generation but was related to both depression and life satisfaction in the younger generation. The interactive effects of marital status and retirement status with sex-role orientation were also examined but were not found to be significant.
利用对墨西哥裔美国人的三代研究数据,调查了性别角色取向对心理健康的影响。更具体地说,我们检验了以下假设:较少传统的性别角色取向与心理健康呈正相关(在其他条件相同的情况下),并且这种关系在老年人中比在年轻人中更强。传统的性别角色取向与老年女性的抑郁呈正相关,这为该假设提供了部分支持。然而,在男性中,传统的性别角色取向与老一代的幸福感无关,但与年轻一代的抑郁和生活满意度都有关。还研究了婚姻状况和退休状况与性别角色取向的交互作用,但未发现显著影响。
