Socialization, life situations, and gender-role attitudes regarding the family among white American women

Article Abstract:

No direct relationship exists between socialization, as characterized by the influence of their mothers' educational attainment to women's educational attainment, and gender-role attitudes. This was revealed by the results of a study of the socialization or social-learning theory and situational theory as applied to white women in the US. An indirect relationship between socialization and attitudes through women's life situations, as characterized by women's life course stages and the composition of their social networks, was noted, however.
