Gender ideology in Europe

Two recent articles (Grunow et al. in J Marriage Fam 80(1):42-60, 2018; Knight and Brinton in Am J Sociol 122(5):1485-1532) suggest that gender ideology is multidimensional. Such a fnding is of utmost importance because, if robust, it can be used in future comparative (multilevel) research. However,...

Sumario:Two recent articles (Grunow et al. in J Marriage Fam 80(1):42-60, 2018; Knight and Brinton in Am J Sociol 122(5):1485-1532) suggest that gender ideology is multidimensional. Such a fnding is of utmost importance because, if robust, it can be used in future comparative (multilevel) research. However, these two articles present diferent results on which gender ideology profles are dominant in Europe. Using the European Value Study, we replicate and extend these Latent Class analyses and address the question of generalizability and content- and criterion-related validity. We come to a fve-cluster solution that not only synthesizes theoretically and empirically the results of the two articles, but also contributes to the literature by clarifying the place of these fve gender ideology types in a multidimensional space. We suggest that in Europe fve 'worlds of norms' exist that are mutually infuenced by the general institutional context of welfare states.
