The Effects of a Targeted Intervention on Descriptive and Prescriptive Gender Stereotypes among Primary School Teachers
Naterer, Andrej ...
An intervention aimed at reducing gender stereotyping was carried out among teachers from 7 Serbian and 12 Slovenian primary schools. A quasi-experimental study was based on pre-test/post-test ...design. A pre-test among 354 teachers confirmed the existence of the predicted stereotypes and a post-test among 287 teachers participating in intervention workshops enabled assessment of the intervention’s effects. Results show that most of the measured gender stereotypes were less present within the post-test group. The intervention was especially successful in addressing the most frequent stereotypes and for descriptive stereotypes. For example, girls and boys were perceived as substantially less different in terms of aggressiveness, talent, and interest in sports or work with computers. More importantly, certain prescriptive stereotypes were also significantly reduced. These include, for example, the idea that sports are more important for boys than for girls or that more emotional support should be devoted to girls than to boys.
