Abstract

This study examined adolescents’ gender-stereotypic attitudes towards HEED (Health care, Early Education, Domestic) occupations and gender-stereotypic interest in HEED careers and the role of parental gender-stereotypic attitudes, role model behaviour and socialization values. We used questionnaire data from 501 White Dutch families. Our results showed that adolescents’ gender-stereotypic attitudes towards HEED predicted their stereotypic interest in these careers. Further, parental gender-stereotypic attitudes, stereotypical role model behaviour and socializing values of self-expression predicted adolescents’ gender-stereotypic attitudes towards HEED. From these parental characteristics, only a stereotypic division of household tasks predicted boys’ lower interest in HEED careers. In conclusion, reducing gender-stereotypic attitudes and, for boys, encouraging self-expression seems important in fostering more male representation in HEED occupations and deserves more attention from policymakers, educators and parents.

父母对 HEED 职业的性别陈规定型态度以及对这些职业的性别陈规定型兴趣的预测作用

本研究探讨了青少年对 HEED（保健、早期教育、家政）职业的性别定型态度和对 HEED 职业的性别定型兴趣，以及父母的性别定型态度、榜样行为和社会化价值观的作用。我们使用了来自 501 个荷兰白人家庭的问卷数据。结果表明，青少年对高等教育、教育和发展的性别定型态度预示着他们对这些职业的定型兴趣。此外，父母的性别陈规定型态度、陈规定型的榜样行为和自我表达的社会化价值观也预示着青少年对 HEED 的性别陈规定型态度。在父母的这些特征中，只有陈规定型的家务分工能预测男孩对高等工程教育职业的兴趣较低。总之，减少性别陈规定型态度，鼓励男孩自我表达，对于促进更多男性从事高等工程教育职业似乎非常重要，值得政策制定者、教育工作者和家长给予更多关注。
