Today psychologists look at the culture as
traditional and communicated meanings and
practices. They focus on how these meanings and
practices are shaping the individual identity.
The aim of the present study was understanding
that how ethnicity and gender can influence the
gender role characteristics and stereotypes of
female and male students of two ethnic groups
(Persian and Kurdish) of Iran. Bem sex role
inventory- Persian form- and a general
demographic questionnaire were administered.
The data were gathered randomly from 156
Kurdish and Persian female and male students.
Results showed that there were no differences
between two groups of female students in gender
role stereotypes. But there were significant
differences between two ethnic groups of male
students according to femininity (t = 2.5) and
four different gender role stereotypes (2
= 7.1).
Data also showed that both ethnic groups evaluated
masculine traits more positive than feminine traits.
Results had been discussed on different theoretical
bases about femininity and masculinity.
