Why boys don't care about caring? Gender differences in the socialisation of care roles by parents and peers are researched in this interdisciplinary PhD project
Wat ga je doen?
Despite important progress toward greater gender equality, men are still clearly underrepresented in care roles in health care, elementary education, and the domestic sphere (HEED). This contributes to many vacant HEED jobs and valuable HEED talents unused. Roots of gender inequality in care roles are already visible in middle childhood (i.e., ages 6 to 8), with boys desiring to become a police officer or fire fighter, and girls desiring to be a teacher, nurse, or mother. Also in middle childhood, boys start seeing themselves as less communal (e.g.,caring, warm, nurturing) and more agentic (e.g., independent, assertive, dominant) than girls do. Middle childhood is further characterised by the development of stereotypical expectations about the attributes of men and women, and a more complex sense of self as male or female (i.e., gender identity). Such gender beliefs are known to play an integral role in the career choices people make and the gender roles they enact later in life.
The aim of this PhD-project is to identify the developmental processes that underlie men’s underrepresentation in HEED. We focus on the critical self-concept formation period of middle childhood (ages 6-8) within the family and school setting as major agents in the socialisation of gender roles. We use a mixed-methods three-wave longitudinal design to capture
developments in gender beliefs and career aspirations. Our first aim is to examine how a consistent network of gender beliefs about communion and agency develops during middle childhood, and relates to children’s career aspirations. Second, we will examine how gender socialisation practices in the family and peer context contribute to the development of children’s gender beliefs and career aspirations. Specifically, based on social learning theories we will investigate if children who are exposed to less traditional parental gender role models (in terms of occupation, work hours, or task division) would develop less traditional gender beliefs and career aspirations. We will also test possible disadvantages of parents who reverse traditional gender roles (25-30% of Dutch couples) for children’s gender development. Regarding peers, we will investigate whether children who interact more with other-gender peers (and less with same-gender peers) would develop less traditional gender beliefs and career aspirations, via processes such as learning about the other gender and expanding their behavioral repertoire.
In this PhD-project, we will collect mixed-methods data with yearly assessments at age 6, 7,and 8 years to capture developments in gender beliefs during middle childhood. We will include 150 Dutch families. Families are sampled via different channels (e.g., social media, schools, child-care centers, parenting websites, societal partners) to recruit a diverse sample in terms of background variables (e.g., family composition, education, rural/urban living area, ethnicity,
religion) and gender roles.
