This research was done to assess the influence of education on the views
of females regarding their gender roles. Half of the total sample (N=100)
was studying at the university level (high education group), while the rest
(low education group) was either uneducated or educated till class six or
less. A structured questionnaire was devised to assess the views about
female gender roles and to gather demographic information. Three
domains emerged from exploratory factor analysis of gender-view items:
rights & choices, behavior, and family & marriage. Independent sample ttest showed that participants with no and relatively low level of education
held significantly more conservative views regarding their gender roles as
compared to the high education group. On the other hand, results from
hierarchical multiple regression showed that education did not predict
women’s views about gender roles over and above parents’ education and
marital status. Father’s education was a significant predictor of women’s
views about their gender roles. The study elucidates the importance of
promoting education in women and raising awareness in fathers
regarding women’s potential and rights.
