The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among sex-role stereotype, sex-role identity, and self-esteem for elementary school students in order to be of use for the development of more systemic, professional sex-education program. The subjects in this study were 729 fifth and sixth graders selected by convenience sampling from three elementary schools in Norm Chungcheong province. The data were collected from July 2 through July 20, 2001. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS program. The frequency analysis, t-test, chi-square test, ANOVA, and correlation analysis were conducted, and Scheffe test was carried out as post hoc test.
The brief findings of this study were as below: 1) The sex-role stereotype about housework, occupation and play was statistically significantly different between the girls and boys(t=-9.52, p<.001). The girl children had a less sex-role stereotype than the boys had. 2) Their sex-role identity types varied very significantly with gender(x2= 140.4777, p<,001). The most widely exhibited sex-role identity was androgynous type with 33.61%, followed by undifferentiated type with 30.86%, masculine type with 18.52%, and feminine type with 17.01 % in the order named. 3) The gender made little significant difference to their self-esteem (t=0.29, p<.05). 4) As a result of analyzing whether the sex-role stereotype was affected by the sex-role identity type, the sex-role identity types made statistically significant difference to the sex-role stereotype(F=8. 94, p<.001). The androgynous type group scored the highest in stereotype, followed by the feminine, undifferentiated and masculine type groups in the order named. 5) As a result of investigating if the self-esteem was influenced by the sex-role identity types, it’ s found that the self-esteem varied very significantly with the sex-role identity type(F=64.04, p<.001). 6) As a result of looking over the impact of the sex-role stereotype on the self-esteem, there was no significant gap in self-esteem between the group with higher stereotype score and the other with lower stereotype score(t=l.15, p<.05).
