QUESTION

For this activity, you will interview some of your peers about what they perceive to be gender role consistent and gender role inconsistent expectations. Read the Helgeson reading before beginning this assignment; you will be applying concepts from this reading to the activity.

Interview

1. First, ask some peers if they would be willing to let you interview them about female and male gender role expectations. Tell them that it is for a class assignment and that you will jot down their answers. You do not need to report the interviewees names. Ask each interviewee to state their own gender identity (e.g., does the interviewee identify as female, male, transgender). Ask your interviewees about what they consider to be consistent with the female role regarding being feminine, expressing emotions, career choices, gender role in family relationships, how females should compare to men regarding power, what makes females look strong, and what makes them look weak. For example, a gender consistent expectation is that women take care of children. Also, ask them to talk about these criteria regarding what is inconsistent with the female role. For example, you might ask them what occupations would be inconsistent with the female gender role (e.g., construction).

2. Second, interview individuals regarding what is consistent with the male gender role regarding being masculine, expressing emotions, career choices, gender role in family relationships, how females should compare to men regarding power, what makes males look strong, and what makes them look weak. Also, ask them to talk about these criteria regarding what is inconsistent with the male role. For example, you might ask them about what emotional expression is inconsistent with the male gender role.

You may need to give them examples or ask them to clarify their answers. For example, you may ask them if career choice is a central goal in a woman or mans life. You may ask the same about relationships and family.
