Gender Role Ideology according to Sex, Acceptance of Women’s Rights and Gay Marriage
Joaquín Ungaretti, Edgardo Etchezahar

Abstract
The historical construction of social roles that men and women must fulfil reveals a traditional gender role ideology that favours the maintenance of inequality. This study analyses gender role ideology according to sex, age, acceptance of women’s rights and acceptance-rejection of gay marriage. The analysis was carried out with a sample composed of 366 undergraduate students (38,5% men and 61,5% women), between the ages of 18 and 42 (M = 24; SD = 3,02). Main results indicate that women tend to be more egalitarian than men. In addition, age, acceptance of women’s rights and gay marriage are closely related to gender role ideology.
