Masculine and feminine culture of society: youth preferences

Abstract

The article describes a pilot experiment conducted in order to formalize
the responses of testees for statistical processing of the actual data of each choice. To
assess the level of statistical significance of differences between young men and girls
in preferences for gender values, the φ*-criterion - Fisher’s angular transformation -
was used.
The study substantiates the author’s position on including a motivational component
(values) in the structure of gender self-awareness, and describes the methodology
and results of an empirical study of the relationship between masculine and feminine
values in the minds of young people. Today, in connection with the integration of
independent Kazakhstan into the world community, along with other issues, problems
of gender psychology are becoming extremely important. The parametric model
includes, in addition to five dimensions of the culture of society, such as masculinity
and femininity, which reflect the division of emotional roles between men and women.
Initially, G. Hofstede’s research was aimed at determining the prevailing (masculine
or feminine) culture of different countries. I.S. Kohn was one of the first to emphasize
the promise of his ideas for psychology
Current directions for the development of domestic gender psychology have been
identified. A comparative analysis of government strategic objectives and expected
results on gender equality with gender indices and statistical data was used.
The purpose of the study is to determine the main directions of development of Kazakh
gender psychology from the point of view of current problems of society.
The objective of the study is to identify the key problem that impedes the effective
implementation of the strategy aimed at achieving gender equality in Kazakhstan
