Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of the influence of gender identity on the professional self-determination of modern boys and girls. The problem is relevant in connection with changes in gender stereotypes of masculinity - femininity. The paper presents the results of an experimental study aimed at identifying the influence of gender identity on the professional self-determination of boys and girls. The following psychodiagnostic methods were used in the study: “A question-naire to identify the motives of professional choice”, “Questionnaire of motives for choosing a profession”, “Methodology for studying professional identity statuses” (A.A. Azbel, A.G. Gretsov), a questionnaire to determine the degree of gender identity (S. Bem), a questionnaire “Who am I?” (M. Kuhn, T. McPartland). The results showed that both in the sample of girls and in the sample of boys, the formed professional identity prevails. Such young people are focused on making a conscious choice of further professional path or have already made such a choice. Also, based on the results obtained, it was concluded that mostly girls and boys are character-ized by a gender typed Self-concept, their answers coincide with the feminine and masculine characteristics of the personality, respectively. During the experiment, a significant correlation was established between gender identity and the motives of professional choice, as well as the status of professional identity. Thus, according to the results of the experimental study, it was concluded that gender identity affects the professional self-determination of modern boys and girls.
