Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study was done to investigate the relationship between the type of gender role identity and home environmental variables. METHOD: This study used a descriptive survey design and convenience sampling. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires from 1,497 female high school students in Seoul. The data were analyzed by the SPSS 10.0 program, which included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square test, ANOVA, and Duncan test. RESULTS: The androgyny gender role identity was most common (33.9%). The type of gender role identity had a significant correlation with home environmental variables (economic status, relationship with parents, father's education level, mother's education level. noninterference, reasonable guidance, affection, overprotection, achievement, active involvement, limit setting). CONCLUSION: It is necessary to provide parent education programs to help female adolescents develop gender role identity toward androgyny.
