【 摘 要 】

The paper presents the results of the research of relation of sex and genderroles, more precisely, how much the degree of egalitarianism in attitudestoward gender roles depends on the category and the level of adopted sexrole. The sample included 236 subjects of both sexes with high educationbetween the ages of 25 to 65, in central and south Serbia. For the evaluationof gender role BSRI (Bem) was used and for egalitarianism in attitudes SRES(Raboteg-Šarić, Ravlić). The results show that egalitarianism of attitudes ispositively correlated with femininity (p<0.01) and negatively withmasculinity (p<0.05). The adoption of androgyne sex role is evident in men(p<0.01) and the adoption of feminine but also of masculine role in womenwhich correlates positively with egalitarianism in attitudes (p<0.05).Younger respondents show more femininity and more egalitarianism, but alsoandrogyny which correlates negatively with egalitarianism (p<0.05).Considering the location of respondents we found that those who grew up inurban areas show greater egalitarianism in attitudes (p<0.01), but greatermasculinity as well (p<0.05).
