The Impact of Age vs. Life Experience on the Gender Role Attitudes of Women in Different Cohorts

Abstract: Much research has concluded that the gender role attitudes of older women are more traditional in orientation. This line of research, however, has often confounded the impact of age and cohort. Consequently, cohort differences in life experiences have not been systematically explored. This study addresses the relationship between age and gender role attitudes, taking into account the potential mediating effects of life experiences and controlling for cohort. The conclusions suggest that the impact of age on ge… Show more

“…Venkatesh et al (2003) reported that the intention to adopt and use a system is more highly affected by effort expectancy for women than men. Their results are consistent with gender role studies (Lynott & McCandless, 2000;Schumacher & Morahan-Martin, 2001). The reason could be that women compared to men generally have higher computer anxiety and lower computer Self-Efficacy (SE).…”

“…Most researchers agree that gender role attitudes change as people grow older (e.g., Cheling & Walters, 1981;Lynott & McCandless, 2000;Spence & Hahn, 1997;Thornton & Freedman, 1979;Twenge, 1997). Fan and Marini (2000) found that gender role attitudes during the transition to adulthood were stable, but both men and women "experienced change in an egalitarian direction with age," and young men experienced "more change than young women, making their attitudes more similar to those of young women over time" (p. 258).…”
