Abstract
This research was conducted using data from Alberta High School Graduate Survey (AHGS) 1996 in Canada to examine the differential attitude towards traditional gender role among high school graduates in Canada. Sex (men and women), mother as homemaker, father as homemaker, fathers’ education, mothers’ education, and community size were taken into account to predict adolescents’ attitude towards traditional gender role. Using multivariate statistical techniques, it was tested that boys and girls significantly differ regarding attitude towards traditional gender role. Overall, it was found that respondents’ sex had the strongest impact on adolescents’ attitude towards traditional gender role. And females’ attitude towards traditional gender role is less biased compared to males. Regarding parents as homemaker it was found that those whose mothers work as homemaker had high gender bias compared to those whose mothers were not homemakers. Finally, it was found that mothers’ high education was negatively associated with high level of gender bias.
