| Summary: | A sample of 106 undergraduates in a small liberal arts prairie college completed a survey that contained measures of their conformity to traditional gender-role concepts, their gender identity (the Bern Sex-Role Inventory or BSRl), and their religious orientation — including affiliation, strength of belief, and frequency of church attendance. The general findings are that (1) socialization factors do influence gender identity; (2) gender identity influences sex-role traditionalism (in females only) and religiosity (in males only); but (3) these influences are independent of one another. A major finding is the difference between male and female behavioral responses to the influence of religious socialization, a result which is consistent with the Dual Spheres/Dual Pathways model of male/female consciousness. |
