Evaluation of gender perceptions and self-efficacy levels of the Roma people living in Turkey

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate gender perceptions and self-efficacy levels of Roma people. Methods: This study adopted a descriptive and cross-sectional design; it was conducted with 270 Roma people living in Adana/Turkey. The sample size was calculated using the sample with a known population approach. The data were collected through the Socio-demographic Form, the Gender Perception Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Statistical significance was taken as p<0.05. Results: The Gender Perception Scale mean scores were found to be 60.9±19.8 in women and 60.0±19.1 in men. The General Self-Efficacy Scale mean scores were 22.8±9.2 in women and 28.5±7.0 in men. While the Gender Perception scale mean scores did not indicate any differences in terms of gender (p=0.711), a significant difference was found in terms of the General Self-efficacy Scale mean scores (p<0.001). Besides, there was a significant correlation between the gender perception scores of the men and women and their self-efficacy scores (r=0.551, p<0.001; r=0.306, p=0.001).Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the Roma people had negative gender perceptions; men’s self-efficacy levels were higher in comparison to women; gender perception and self-efficacy levels were associated with each other; and women’s gender perceptions were significantly affected by several variables.
