The purpose of this study was to provide precise information about elementary school students’ stereotyped idea of sex role in childhood, a crucial period of sex role development, by making a comparative investigation into whether their fixed idea of sex role for household affairs, job and play differed by grade, gender or region, and whether their general characteristics made any difference to their stereotyped idea of sex role. The subjects in this study were the second, fourth and sixth graders selected from four elementary schools in the city of Chungju and Jinchun-kun. Of 484 copies of collected questionnaires, 465 were selected for analysis. Nineteen were excluded because of poor response. The data were collected for 33 days from June l through July 3, 2000, by asking the subjects to fill in the given questionnaire. The instrument used to measure the fixed idea of sex role was Lee Sung Hyun(1993)’s Stereotyped Idea of Sex Role for Household Affairs, Job and Play that was modified for this study. The collected data were analyzed with SAS program, by using frequency, t-test, and ANOVA. As a post hoc test, Tukey test was conducted.
The brief findings of this study were as follows: 1. The children’ s idea of sex role for household affairs, job, play, and total area was less stereotyped with the advance of grade. 2. The girl children’ s idea of sex role for job, play and total area(except household affairs) was less stereotyped than the boy children’s. 3. The children in rural area expressed less stereotyped idea of sex role for play than the children in urban area did. But there was no significant difference between the two regions in the stereotyped idea of sex role for household affairs, job, and total area. 4. The general characteristics of the children, the variables that produced a significant difference to their stereotyped idea of sex role were parent’ s age, educational level, financial state, job, and parental attitude. Their idea of sex role was less stereotyped as their parents were younger, parents had better educational background, parents were better off, or father’ s job was a professional or a public official.
