Social perception of counterstereotypical images of parents
Journal Title: Polskie Forum Psychologiczne - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents direct comparisons of perceived femininity and masculinity of men and women who fulfill their family roles in an untraditional way, in a gendered situation of transition to parenthood. A convenient sample of 120 people (incl. 61 females) took part in the study. Participants assessed four pictures presenting two men (feeding a baby) and two women (in the workplace context) in respect of their popularity and femininity/masculinity. The images were accompanied by short descriptions of professionally successful women and men primary child care-givers. Results indicated that female targets were perceived as less feminine and more masculine than men. Men prefer the male targets more than the female ones.
