Abstract

A study of attitude towards androgynization of roles among females working in socially accepted occupations for men and women was undertaken. A sample of 115 females was selected from Pune city, Maharashtra, India, with a minimum formal education of 10 years, age ranging from 20 to 40 years. One group consisted of 65 females in socially accepted jobs for men such as manufacturing units, state transport service, private cabs, petrol pumps, and another 50 females from socially accepted jobs for women such as nursing, saloons, beauty parlors etc. They responded to Attitude towards Androgynization of Roles Scale by Bisht. The statistical tool ‘t’ test was used to find differences in attitude towards androgynization of roles. The result showed that there was no difference in Attitude towards Androgynization of Roles (t=1.32) and in one dimension Exposure to varied occupations (t=0.82). There was a difference in other dimensions, Model (t=3.52), Prescription of Behaviour (t=3.55), Reinforcement of Behaviour (t=3.58) at 0.05 level of significance. Keywords : Androgynization of roles, Model, Prescription of Behaviour, Reinforcement of behaviour, Exposure to varied occupations, socially accepted jobs for men and women.
