Minority Research Initiation Planning Grant: Sex Role Attitudes of Married and Unmarried African American Women

对美国社会男女的理解包含了对社会中种族和民族群体多样性态度的广泛理解。这种理解的一个重要方面是对女性性别角色的了解。这个少数民族研究启动计划拨款比较研究已婚和未婚非裔美国妇女的性别角色态度，以建立一个概念性框架来研究这些态度，并考虑到非裔美国人经历的社会和历史背景。来自全国黑人成年人横断面研究的数据和该横断面调查的重新访谈子样本将进行分析，以评估已婚和未婚女性性别角色态度的重要预测因素。这个项目将增进我们对形成对妇女性别角色的态度的因素的理解。这个项目也为一位有前途的年轻学者提供了一个极好的机会，为建立一个比目前更全面的性别角色态度模型奠定基础。

Understanding of men and women in American society encompasses broad understanding of the attitudes of the diversity of racial and ethnic groups within it. One important aspect of that understanding is a knowledge of women's sex roles. This Minority Research Initiation Planning Grant studies comparatively the sex role attitudes of married and unmarried African American women in order to develop a conceptual framework for examining these attitudes which takes into consideration the social and historical context of the experiences of African Americans. Data from a national cross-sectional study of Black adults and a re-interview subsample of this cross-sectional survey will be analyzed to assess the significant predictors of the married and unmarried women's sex role attitudes. This project will enhance our understanding of the factors contributing to the development of attitudes about women's sex roles. This project also provides an excellent opportunity for a promising young scholar to lay the foundation for building a more comprehensive model of sex role attitudes than currently exists.
