Summary: | The present study investigates differences in students' perceptions of socialisation
and gender roles in Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany. N = 64 male and 111
female Japanese and N = 61 male and 59 female German students completed
paper-and-pencil tests. Group comparisons showed significant differences with
respect to perceptions of socialisation and gender-role orientation. Japanese
adolescents reported more parental acceptance and control than German adolescents.
Japanese mothers were seen as more and German mothers were seen as less controlling
than respective fathers whereas at the same time mothers in both countries were seen
as more supportive than fathers. Furthermore, Japanese students had more
"traditional" gender-role orientations than German adolescents. These results are
interpreted on the basis of culture-specific values underlying socialisation and the
organisation of interpersonal relations. |
