IDEOLOGY OF THE GENDER ROLE AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING THE MODERATING IMPACT OF GENDER

Abstract

This study investigates how gender affects married couples' emotional well- being concerning gender role ideology. Purposive sampling was used to gather information from 225 people in person and online. For analysis, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) by Tennant et al. (2007) and the self-report Gender Role Belief Scale Short Version (GRBS- SV) were used. According to the study's findings, men who believe in conventional gender roles are more emotionally well than men who believe in gender equality. The findings also showed that women who believe in egalitarian gender roles have higher emotional well-being. The findings showed that emotional well-being differed significantly between the sexes. Results revealed that gender considerably modifies the association between the ideology of gender roles and emotional health.
