Outcomes of Egalitarian Gender Role Attitudes: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Egalitarian gender stereotypes or gender role stereotype change have emerged with the employment participation of females. Even this topic is in the discussion among the gender study researchers much, and there is no enough research on its various outcomes or consequences. In this research, our effort was to examine the knowledge on empirical research landscape on different outcomes resultant from egalitarian gender attitudes of people. To do that, we searched the articles on empirical studies in Scopus and EBSCOhost databases during 1970-2020. We used a systematic literature review methodology, and in which we used PRISMA guidelines to include and exclude the articles. The findings reveal that there are various outcomes from gender stereotype change and they can be attributed to the main clusters of family, work, health, and societal/economic. These results imly that there are gaps in the research landscape on gender stereotypes and those provide research agenda for the future.
