The present paper studied the direct effects of perceived familial gender discrimination
on gender transcendence and perception of entrapment, and the moderating role of
self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived familial gender discrimination and
gender transcendence, and between perceived familial gender discrimination and
perception of entrapment. The study was conducted on 420 female college students
aged 18 years and above from upper- and lower middle socioeconomic status using
Gender Discrimination by Parents’ Behaviours subscale (from Gender Discrimination
Inventory), Gender Transcendence subscale (from Social Roles Questionnaire),
Entrapment Short Form Scale, and New General Self-Efficacy Scale. Pearson correlation
and regression analysis reveal that perceived familial gender discrimination has significant
inverse relationship with gender transcendence and self-efficacy, and asignificantly
positive relationship with perception of entrapment. Self-efficacy moderated the
relationship between perceived familial gender discrimination and gender transcendence,
but not the relationship between perceived familial gender discrimination and perception
of entrapment.
