Relation between Social Gender Role Attitudes of Students Studying at Faculty of Health Sciences and States of Experiencing Peer Pressure

Abstract

Objectives: This research was carried out to determine the relationship between social gender role attitudes of students studying at Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Health Sciences and peer pressure situations. Materials and Methods: This study, performed in accordance with the descriptive research principles seeking a relationship was conducted with a total of 1115 students (82.6% of the target population of the study) studying at Samsun Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Health Sciences in the fall semester of the 2016-2017 academic year. "Presentation form", "Gender Roles Attitude Scale" and "Peer Print Scale" as data collection tools were used. While research data was being evaluated, number, percentage and Ki-Square (X²) test, Kruskal Wallis (KW) and Mann Whitney U tests were used. Findings: The total median of the students' gender role attitudes scale was 115 (min-max = 34-158) and the students had an egalitarian attitude. The peer scale had a median of 42 (min-max=33-167). There was not a meaningful relationship between students' gender role attitudes and peer pressure status (r=0,007; p>0,05) statistically. The peer pressure scale and the egalitarian gender role were negatively correlated (r = -0,068; p <0.05), the male gender role was positively correlated and hence it was found that there was a significantly weak level (r = 0.202; p <0.001). Conclusion: It was found that students have an egalitarian attitude towards gender roles, and the peer pressure on students is low. It may be suggested to add these subjects to the education curriculum to give university students an egalitarian gender attitude and to raise awareness about peer pressure.
