“…However, it does not mean that single‐parent guardianship is the best type of guardianship. Previous studies have demonstrated that children in single‐parent custody have difficulties establishing gender roles, and children exhibit common psychological defects, such as poor speech, emotional apathy, violence, etc . For grandparent guardianship, the backward parenting style of grandparents maintains that satisfying children's material conditions is a good method of child rearing .…”

The aims of this study were to systematically evaluate and comparatively analyse the mental health status of left‐behind children (LBC) in China and to provide a scientific basis for mental intervention and healthy education for LBC. Six electronic databases were searched for studies (published from 1 January 2010 to 5 March 2018) of the mental health of LBC using the Mental Health Test scale. We only selected original articles that either reported the incidence of serious mental health status or the means and standard deviations of each factor score of the scale. The pooled rates and weighted mean difference were calculated. The results indicated that the incidence of serious mental health status of LBC is nearly 2.7 times higher than that of non‐LBC. The scores for most of the factors analysed by the Mental Health Test of LBC were higher than those of non‐LBC. In addition, the mental health status of left‐behind girls is worse than that of left‐behind boys. Except for impulsive tendency, there was no significant difference in the mental health status of LBC in primary and junior high schools. In terms of the different types of guardianship, the mental health status of LBC under a grandparent's guardianship and parental peer' guardianship is more serious than that of LBC under a single‐parent guardianship. The mental health status of LBC is poor, particularly for left‐behind girls. The primary mental problems faced by LBC are learning anxiety, social anxiety and physical symptoms. It is necessary to develop more targeted measures to prevent and manage LBC.

“…On the other hand, girls in single-parent households exhibited only a slightly more feminine personality compared to their peers in nuclear families [15]. Still, in China, researchers found that factors such as income, educational level, and the single parent's own gender attitudes were better predictors of the formation of children's gender roles than just single parenthood alone [16]. Given the diversity of family structures worldwide, it is possible that these different structures may even positively shape adolescents' perceptions of masculinities and femininities [17e19].…”

This paper used data from the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS) to provide a descriptive analysis of how early adolescents' social environments vary by sex across diverse cultural settings. Methods: The analyses were based on baseline data among 10e14-year old adolescents living in disadvantaged urban areas in seven sites: Kinshasa (DRC), Shanghai (China), Cuenca (Ecuador), Lampung, Semarang and Denpasar (Indonesia), and Flanders (Belgium). Except in Kinshasa where face-to face interviews were used, data were collected using self-administered surveys on mobile tablets. Social environments were measured by examining factors within five main domains, including the household and family, school, peers, neighborhoods, and the media. Site-specific descriptive analyses were performed, using Chi square tests and Student T-tests to identify sexdifferences in each site. Results: The majority of early adolescents lived in two-parent households, perceived their parents/ guardians cared and monitored them, had at least one friend, reported high educational aspirations, and perceived their neighborhoods as safe, socially cohesive, with a high level of social control. Yet, large gender and site differences were also observed. More girls reported same-sex friends and high levels of parental monitoring, while boys were more likely to have mixed-sex friends and spend greater amounts of time with friends. Adolescents in Kinshasa and Semarang watched the most TV per day, while higher proportions of adolescents in Flanders used social media on a daily basis. Significant gender differences in media use were also observed but varied according to site. Conclusions: Understanding how social contexts differ between boys and girls across sites has relevance for how we might examine gender attitude formations and subsequent health behaviors.

The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at studying gender stereotypes among Russian students. The article aims to study the images of the "ideal woman" and "ideal man" in the minds of young people and the degree to which they correspond to the traditional stereotypes of masculinity and femininity. The study was carried out on a sample of 169 students at the Pedagogical University (73 boys and 96 girls). The subjects were asked to characterize the following images: "Ideal woman", "Ideal man", noting the degree of their agreement with phrases characterizing personality traits. All qualities were divided into two groups: "traditional" and "non-traditional", following the characteristics of traditional gender stereotypes. The research results show that in the image of the "ideal woman" in the assessments of both girls and boys, non-traditional features are more pronounced, while in the image of the "ideal man", traditional features prevail in the assessments of both groups. The difference in assessments is most pronounced in the group of girls: they are the ones who most highly rate non-traditional features in the image of an "ideal woman" and traditional features in the image of an "ideal man". This carries with it potential moments of disagreement in relations between the sexes, as, moving away from the traditional stereotype of femininity, girls expect men to implement the traditional stereotype of masculinity. Young men are not yet ready to accept a masculine woman, although they do not want her to be necessarily feminine either.
