Abstract

Compared to the extensive amount of research on the harmful effects of gender role conflict on men and others over the past few decades, relatively little attention has been given to examining factors that affect the formation of gender role conflict. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to explore the effects of egalitarian family environment(father s engagement in domestic chores, mothers power in financial decision-making), father characteristics(emphasis on success, emotional disconnection, lack of interest, violence, and mentorship), and contact with females(whether one has female siblings, proportion of female friends during middleand high school). Participants were 171 undergraduate and graduate male students from a university in a southern provincial area in South Korea. Results indicated the control variables and independent variables accounted for 15% of the variance in male gender role conflict. and that fathers violence and lack of interest were significant predictors of male gender role conflict. Limitations and directions for future research were discussed.
