Abstract

This paper presents the results of an empirical study of gender identity and traditional and modern values conducted on a sample of 277 female students of two faculties in Zagreb of the first year of undergraduate study and first year of graduate study. The study included female students of one social faculty - Faculty of humanities and social sciences, University of Zagreb, and one technical faculty - Faculty of Architecture, University of Zagreb. The aim of this study was to determine the tendency of female respondents to traditional/egalitarian gender roles and the importance of gender on their identity whereby we gain a insight of their gender identity. Also, the aim was to examine the tendency to traditional/modern values. Gender identity was tested with a modified scale of egalitarianism gender roles and the importance of a sense of belonging to a certain identity determinants, and for testing of traditional and modern values was designed Likert-type scale. At the beginning of a paper special emphasis was placed on the issue of defining the difference between sex and gender. Furthermore, the difference between traditional and egalitarian gender roles was presented and then gender identity was defined. The concept of value was defined afterwards whereby the difference between traditional and modern values was elaborated. Results of a study showed that female students do not experience gender as the most influential source of their identity, but it is an important medium source of identity. Female students of Faculty of humanities and social sciences in Zagreb, on average, have more egalitarian attitudes than female students of Faculty of Architecture in Zagreb. At the same time, female students of a first year of undergraduate study have more egalitarian attitudes than female students of a first year of graduate study. Female students of these two faculties in generally valued modern values, while expressed religiosity of female students was shown as the most influential factor in the evaluation of traditional values.
