性役割同一性が青年期の自己実現に及ぼす影響について

抄録

This study aimed at clarifying the relationship between sex-role identity and self-actualization in terms of mental health. Subjects consisted of 86 male and 128 female undergraduate students, and they answered Self Actualization Scale (SEAS) and Bern Sex Role Inventory (BSRI). Our results suggested that female were more self-actualized than male, and that Androgynous and/or Masculine group were more self-actualized than Feminine and/or Undifferentiated group. The results of multiple regression analyses indicated that high masculinity was conductive and high femininity was detrimental to self-actualization. It was also suggested that masculinity was necessary for male to accept themselves and their weaknesses, and that femininity gave a positive effect on male only in company with masculinity. In contrast, for female, masculinity would provide some difficulties to accept themselves. Moreover, female would be required efforts to integrate the demands out of social values and sex-role that they possess.
