在包括日本在内的许多国家，女性在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域仍然是少数。父母的性别角色态度对高中女生是否选择STEM领域以及选择哪些领域有潜在的影响。然而，这还没有在日本的背景下进行仔细研究。我们使用了一个在线问卷调查是否家长同意女孩的STEM领域的选择是由刻板的父母性别角色的态度的影响。我们发现，持平等主义性别角色态度的日本父母普遍同意女孩自由选择学习领域（不仅限于STEM领域）。同意这一观点的父母认为，女孩可以在各个领域找到工作。然而，不同意的父母表达了各种原因，包括对STEM领域的负面看法，如缺乏就业机会（生物学，数学，物理学和信息科学）和不适合女性（工程学）。这些结果表明，改善这种特定领域的负面看法可能有助于增加父母对女孩选择STEM领域的支持。
ABSTRACT Women are still in the minority in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields in many countries, including Japan. Parental gender role attitudes are a potential influence on whether high school girls choose STEM fields and which fields they choose. However, this has not yet been closely examined in the Japanese context. We used an online questionnaire to investigate whether parental agreement regarding girls’ choice of STEM fields was affected by stereotypical parental gender role attitudes. We found that Japanese parents with egalitarian gender role attitudes generally agreed with girls’ freedom to choose their field of study (not just limited to STEM fields). Parents that agreed thought that girls could find employment across all fields. However, parents that disagreed expressed a variety of reasons, including negative perceptions of STEM fields such as lack of employment opportunities (biology, mathematics, physics and information science) and unsuitability for women (engineering). These results suggest that improving such field-specific negative perceptions may contribute to increase parental support for girls’ choice of STEM fields.
