Abstract
Correlates of gender-role attitudes were examined in samples of university women in the United States (N=289), India (N=88), and Japan (N=193). As predicted, women in the United States held significantly more egalitarian attitudes than women in India and Japan. Women with more frequent religious service attendance held significantly less egalitarian attitudes in the U.S, but not in India. Indian and Japanese women with more egalitarian attitudes had significantly higher self-esteem. Egalitarian attitudes correlated significantly with higher educational aspiration, and intention to work full-time for women in the U. S and India, but not in Japan. Women who desired more children held significantly less egalitarian attitudes in the U.S and Japan, but not in India.
