Gender differences in values of personal identity and attitudes on the models of behavior in social conflicts

Summary/Abstract: Researches on gender differences considering the self-evaluation of personal identity and behavior in social conflicts have shown that there is a gender discrimination to the advantage of a better male self-evaluation on the factor of physical identity and a female tendency to cooperate in a conflict. This research has been done on a stratified group sample of 783 high-schoo students in the area of the cities of Rijeka and Opatija. By a discriminative analysis the differences between the male and female subjects have been established regarding the self-evaluation of the value of personal identity according to Osgoods semantic differential. 4 statistically significant discriminative function has been gained, described by the variables of security, streng velocity and power which the boys have a positive relationship to and the girls a negative one. Through questionnaire on t te attitudes on some characteristics of conflicts and behavior in a conflict a discriminative function has been gained which is described by variables of not approving the use of physical force and representing dialogue in a conflict. It has been shown that the boys have a negative relationship to such a function and the girls a positive one. These problems should be additionally researched although the results implicate the need to encourage self-esteem at girls and the need to enable socially acceptable forms of competition for boys. It has been suggested to schools to encourage young people to be socially involved in the local community and to organize different sports competitions
