大学生的性别角色态度与环境关心

Gender Role Attitude and Environmental Concern among Undergraduate Students

基于对一所北京高校大学生的调查数据,通过引进性别研究领域的AWS量表,本研究考察了大学生的性别角色态度与环境关心的关系。研究发现:(1)大学生的性别角色态度存在显著的生理性别差异,女大学生的性别角色态度较男大学生更加趋于平等,而这种性别角色态度的差异并不能被二元的生理性别完全解释;(2)大学生的环境关心与其性别角色存在显著相关关系,性别角色态度越趋于平等的大学生其环境关心水平也相应越高;(3)性别角色态度对大学生环境关心的影响超过生理性别,且这种影响呈现跨越生理性别的稳定性。本研究尝试从性别文化的角度重新理解环境关心的性别差异,并就相关政策启示进行了简要讨论。

There are some obvious dilemmas in studies on gender and environmental concerns.Improving gender measurement implicates a promising solution.Based on data collected from a university in Beijing,and through the introduction of the Attitudes towards Women Scale(AWS)developed in gender studies,this study examines the relationship between gender role attitude and environmental concerns among undergraduate students.Research findings indicate that(1)there is a significant sex difference in gender role attitude among undergraduate students,with female students having higher AWS scores(being more egalitarian in gender)than their male counterparts,which could not be fully explained by binary and biological sex;(2)there is a significant correlation between environmental concern and gender role attitude among undergraduate students,and students with high AWS scores are more environmentally concerned;(3)compared to sex,gender role attitude has a larger effect on undergraduate students environmental concern,and its effect shows consistency across sex.Further,this study tries to re-interpret gender differences in environmental concern from a perspective of gender culture and discuss some policy implications in short.
