Abstract

This research aims to examine the traditional stereotypes and prejudiced attitudes towards women in the Jordanian society among students of Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. A questionnaire was used and distributed to a random sample of 425 students at the university. The findings showed that the most common and highest ranking stereotypical sentiments among university students were: “women represent the family’s honor”, “women are not fit for physical work”, “Women are meant to remain home, and that their primary role in life is doing house chores”. These stereotypes are associated with the socio-cultural perception of the female body; which further contribute to the discriminatory stance against women. Furthermore, the findings reveal that university youth still perceive women as fragile creatures, unfit for leadership, and thus they are inferior to males; which renders them notionally unworthy of the right to independence and personal freedom. These prejudiced attitudes reflect the notion of custodianship applied by the whip of conventional culture in conservative societies over the body, movement, and personal freedom of the woman; hence depriving her from some civil and political rights.

大学生对女性的偏见态度
本研究旨在调查侯赛因·本·塔拉尔大学学生中约旦社会对妇女的传统刻板印象和偏见态度。使用了一份问卷,并将其分发给该大学425名学生的随机样本。研究结果表明,大学生中最常见、排名最高的刻板印象是:“女性代表着家庭的荣誉”、“女性不适合体力劳动”、“妇女应该呆在家里,她们在生活中的主要角色是做家务”。这些陈规定型观念与社会文化对女性身体的看法有关;这进一步助长了对妇女的歧视立场。此外,研究结果表明,大学青年仍然认为女性是脆弱的生物,不适合领导,因此她们不如男性;这使他们在理论上不配享有独立和人身自由的权利。这些偏见态度反映了保守社会中传统文化对女性身体、行动和人身自由的监护观念;因此剥夺了她的一些公民权利和政治权利。

期刊介绍: The Italian Sociological Review is as an academic journal for the dissemination of theoretical reflections and results of empirical research on social science, conducted with scientific methodologies and made available to a wider audience. The research results may have an impact on policy-makers, on the processes of formation of the students and the development and integration of theories and paradigms. It is therefore important that the journal maintains a high level of quality and transparency in the process of publication.
