“…Some perspectives contend that self‐segregation can reflect personal choices, under an assumption that choice reflects deliberate actions that are freely and fully endorsed by the actor (for a review, see Ryan & Deci, ). For example, occupational segregation by gender is posited to reflect intrinsic (and some argue innate) differences in vocational interests (Block, Croft, De Souza, & Schmader, ; Ceci, Williams, & Barnett, ; Lippa, ). Even acknowledging that structural barriers continue to promote housing segregation in America (Rothstein, ), preferences for homophily are also likely to play a role in where people choose to live (Clark, ).…”

Seeking authenticity in diverse contexts: How identities and environments constrain “free” choice

Diversity and inclusion are a key goal in 21st century society, but people continue to self‐segregate in occupations, communities, and everyday interactions. Are people's choices to separate by groups into these different spaces truly “free?” In this paper, we review and extend a new framework for understanding how social identities contextually and automatically constrain the choices people make. We consider how situations subtly cue a sense of fit to one's identity, automatically eliciting state authenticity and a desire to return to those settings that afford authenticity and avoid those that do not. Actors and observers alike often explain these behaviors after the fact as freely chosen. We discuss how the SAFE model can clarify and expand what it means to feel a sense of belonging and explain why those who are advantaged in a setting are often less aware of the way in which their identity advantages them. We end by highlighting how environments can be shaped to foster fit and authenticity among members of underrepresented groups as a means to facilitate diversity.

“…Cultural gender role stereotypes shape norms and expectations of what men and women should or should not do, and restrict people’s behavior, motivations, self-views, and aspirations (e.g., Croft et al, 2015; Diekman & Eagly, 2000; Diekman & Goodfriend, 2006; Eagly & Karau, 2002; Eagly & Steffen, 1984; Prentice & Carranza, 2002). As a result, gender stereotypes limit women’s opportunities, status advancement, and earning potential (e.g., Brown & Diekman, 2010; Ceci & Williams, 2011; Croft et al, 2019; Park et al, 2008; Stout et al, 2011), and restrict men’s ability to exhibit communal traits and roles (e.g., Block, Croft, & Schmader, 2018; Block et al, 2019; Croft et al, 2015; Moss-Racusin, 2014). Most efforts to dismantle restrictive and harmful gender stereotypes to promote gender equality have focused on addressing the disadvantages that women face relative to men (e.g., understanding gender equality as a women’s issue ).…”

Prosociality is an ideal context to begin shifting traditional gender role stereotypes and promoting equality. Men and women both help others frequently, but assistance often follows traditional gender role expectations, which further reinforces restrictive gender stereotypes in other domains. We propose an integrative process model of gender roles inhibiting prosociality (GRIP) to explain why and how this occurs. We argue that prosociality provides a unique entry point for change because it is (a) immediately rewarding (which cultivates positive attitude formation), (b) less likely to threaten the gender status hierarchy, and therefore less susceptible to social backlash (which translates into less restrictive social norms), and (c) a skill that can be learned (which leads to stronger beliefs in one’s own ability to help). Using the GRIP model, we derive a series of hypothesized interventions to interrupt the self-reinforcing cycle of gender role stereotyping and facilitate progress toward broader gender equality.

“…Selama ini peran pencari nafkah identik dengan kaum laki-laki, sedangkan perempuan identik dengan peran domestik (Block, Croft, Souza, & Schmader, 2019;Wahid & Lancia, 2018), padahal masing-masing memiliki potensi dalam memenuhi kebutuhan keluarga, termasuk dalam pengelolaan hutan rakyat. Beberapa upaya telah dilakukan untuk meningkatkan partisipasi perempuan dalam pengelolaan hutan namun tidak menunjukkan efek yang signifikan terhadap keterlibatan perempuan dalam praktik pengelolaan hutan.…”

National strategy on gender that stated in Presidential Instruction No. 9/2009, was also applied in private forest management. The composition of private forests which generally consist of woody plants, agricultural crops, and lower crops, allows for the sharing of gender roles in their management, as found in South Konawe. Research methods used survey method and interviews through Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study indicate that there is a share-out of roles between men and women in private forest management in South Konawe. Men play a dominant role in the management of woody plants, starting from planting to logging while women are dominantly involved in the lower crop cultivation. Women's involvement have greatly helped the family economy through selling vegetables and sago for family consumption as well as to meet daily needs. Supporting activities in private forest management such as attending farmer group meetings and being administrators of farmer groups are still dominated by men. For this reason, it is necessary to consider the proportional involvement of women in private forest management so that they can contribute more to the family needs.
