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

对美国社会中的男人和女人的理解包括对其中种族和民族群体多样性的态度的广泛理解。这种理解的一个重要方面是了解妇女的性别角色。少数民族研究启动计划补助金对已婚和未婚非裔美国妇女的性别角色态度进行了比较研究，以便制定一个概念框架来审查这些态度，其中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的横断面研究和这次横断面调查的重访子样本的数据将被分析，以评估已婚和未婚女性性别角色态度的重要预测因素。这个项目将加强我们对促进形成对妇女性别角色态度的因素的了解。该项目也为一位有前途的年轻学者提供了一个极好的机会，为建立比目前存在的更全面的性别角色态度模式奠定基础。

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.
