Abstract:
|
In this paper we use data from the General Social Survey (1977-1998) to examine the effects of region on gender-role attitudes, focusing on variations by gender and race. The findings contribute to a growing literature demonstrating the continuation of a distinctive southern culture which includes more traditional gender-role attitudes. Further, the findings indicate that region plays as important a role in explaining Black women’s gender-role attitudes as those of white men and women. In contrast to our hypotheses, both southern Black and white women held substantially more traditional gender-role attitudes than did their northern counterparts, suggesting that the persistence of southern distinctiveness cannot be accounted for entirely by the continuing conservativeness of white southern men. |
