Abstract:
|
This paper examines the role of Hispanic women’s network structure and function in shaping and maintaining gender-role attitudes. Specifically, I test how the ethnic context in which a woman is embedded, as well as her exchange of social support with friends and family, influence her gender-role attitudes. The analysis revealed a clear relationship between living in a Latin country at age 16 and traditional gender role attitudes. Also, living in a Latin country at age 16 and the current percent of Hispanics in a woman’s community were related to gender role traditionalism. The evidence also suggests the exchange of social support with kin over non-kin may be influential in shaping and maintaining gender role traditionalism. Thus, the present study highlights the importance of examining the role of social networks in maintaining and enforcing normative behaviors among Hispanic families. |
