Gender role liberalism is pivotal in ensuring equal status and contribution
of men and women in society. Self-efficacy might be related to gender
role liberalism. This study aimed to investigate the nature of the
relationship between self-efficacy and sex-role liberalism and to find
demographic predictors of sex-role liberalism and self-efficacy in the
young adult working sample. Sex Role Liberalism Scale (Clarkberg,
Stolzenberg & Waite, 1995), General Self Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer
& Jerusalem, 1995), and demographic questionnaires were administered
on 240 teachers (130 men and 110 women; Mean Age = 29.89), taken
from two universities of Lahore. Joint Principal Component Analysis
revealed no conceptual overlap between both constructs. The
directionality of the relationship was analyzed through Structural
Equation Modeling in AMOS. Self-efficacy and gender role liberalism
predicted each other independently as well as reciprocally with the
stronger contribution of gender role liberalism to self-efficacy.
Regression analysis revealed higher gender role liberalism in men with
working mothers in juxtaposition with non-working mothers. The effect of father’s education on the liberalism of men was greater than women's.
Gender role liberalism and father’s education predicted self-efficacy. The
findings have strong implications regarding enhancing self-efficacy in
young adults through promoting gender role liberalism that will in turn
promote greater liberal attitudes towards both genders.
