Percepciones de los roles de género en los entornos familiares de las y los habitantes de la comunidad Santa Marta, cantón Azogues, 2022

Abstract

Every single person plays a role in society. If we talk about family systems, some of these are determined by different aspects such as gender, age, abilities, interests, and different skills of its members. This investigation aims to analyze the perspective of the roles that every family member takes in the Santa Marta community, located in Azogues, based on their gender. To contrast every result, some information has been taken from some books and articles written by family and gender experts. All these aspects have proven that social stereotypes influence those family systems and its dynamics. This research uses a quantitative methodology, in which a probabilistic sampling by strata was carried out; in addition, tables that were made allow that the collected information could be understood. Among the most important results of this research, we can see that there are very marked stereotypes that have been transferred from generation to generation and that have been maintained due to religious beliefs and lack of self-questioning. Likewise, the overload of tasks in the female gender has caused the affection of harmony and family dynamics, generating discussions and feelings of dissatisfaction in the members.
