- Abstract:
- The article describes a study examining the influence of social attitudes and stereotypes about professions according to gender, conducted with the participation of civil servants in Volgograd. To confirm the hypothesis of the existence of differences in stereotypes about professions among men and women, the following methods were used: express diagnosis of gender stereotypes, the questionnaire "Proverbs" by I.S. Kletsina, the author's questionnaire "Which professions are female and male" by I.V. Terelyanskaya, A.A. Tsanava. The hypothesis was refuted: the differences obtained during the study that professional stereotypes depend on gender and the data that men are more committed to traditional values and stereotypes about truly "male" and "female" professions than women are not statistically reliable and are random.
