研究表明，种族与独特的家庭结构和性别态度有关。然而，现有的研究未能研究与种族有关的不同性别角色态度和家庭结构如何影响生活的其他方面。自我效能感是指一个人相信自己有能力实现某些结果（班杜拉，《自我效能感：控制的运用》，弗里曼，纽约，第3页，1997年）。以美国中南部一所大学的486名传统本科生为样本，研究了自我效能感的性别和种族差异，以及性别角色态度和家庭结构对自我效能感的影响。我们认为，性别角色态度的性别差异及其对自我效能感的影响是由种族调节。除白色男性外，性别角色自由主义与自我效能呈正相关。母亲的全职工作与白人的自我效能感呈正相关。对理论和未来研究的影响进行了讨论。
Research suggests race is associated with unique family structures and gender attitudes. Yet, extant research fails to examine how different gender role attitudes and family structures related to race impact other aspects of life. Self-efficacy refers to one's belief in his or her abilities to achieve certain outcomes (Bandura, Self-efficacy: The exercise of control, Freeman, New York, p. 3, 1997). Using a sample of 486 traditional undergraduate college students from an American university in the middle south, we examine gender and race differences in self-efficacy and the impact of sex role attitudes and family structure on self-efficacy. We argue that gender differences in gender role attitudes and their impact on self-efficacy is moderated by race. For all but white males, sex role liberalism is positively related to self-efficacy. Mother's full time employment is positively related to self-efficacy for whites. Implications for theory and future research are discussed.
