ABSTRACT

This study assesses the effect of secondary schools’ sex-composition on boys’ and girls’ felt pressure for gender-conformity. Whereas gender-conformity pressure affects adolescents’ well-being, little large-scale research examines school features’ influence. Multilevel-analyses are conducted on representative Flemish data of first grade students, 2688 boys and 2430 girls, in 57 secondary schools, gathered at the beginning of school-year 2012/13 and the end of 2013/14. When estimating the effects on gender-conformity pressure at time 2, the gender-conformity pressure at time 1 is accounted for. For girls, no effects of the school’s sex-composition are found. Boys in schools with more girls display lower levels of felt pressure at the start of secondary education. The felt pressure at time 2 increases with the proportion of girls, indicating that boys forming a numerical minority at school, report more growth in gender-conformity pressure. This effect is stronger for boys holding more traditional gender-role attitudes.

男孩们继续摇摆吗?学校的性别构成和性别整合的压力

抽象的

这项研究评估了中学性别组成对男生和女生性别适应压力的影响。性别整合压力会影响青少年的幸福感,但很少有大规模研究检查学校特征的影响。在2012/13学年开始和2013/14年底收集的57所中学的一年级学生,2688名男孩和2430名女孩的佛兰德代表性数据进行了多级分析。在估算时间2对性别整合压力的影响时,考虑了时间1的性别整合压力。对于女孩来说,没有发现学校性别构成的影响。在中学教育开始时,男孩较多的学校中的男孩表现出较低的感觉压力。时间2的感觉压力随着女孩的比例而增加,表明在学校中占少数的男孩报告了性别整合压力的增长。对于持有更传统的性别角色态度的男孩来说,这种影响更强。
