can social Role Theory explain gender differences in facebook usage
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2013Co-Authors: Xiaolin Lin, Christopher B Califf, Mauricio FeathermanAbstract:Social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook are now a primary communications medium used to connect individuals and businesses worldwide. Businesses can profit by interacting with consumers through these platforms and therefore have a vested interest in consumers continued usage of SNS technologies. To date published research on SNS usage largely assumes males and females evaluate the sites in a similar manner. Drawing from social Role Theory, our study investigates the neglected context of gender differences using constructs that are theoretically and empirically linked to IT continuance. Our results confirm that gender differences exist. For the sample and context perceived risk and perceived enjoyment had a greater impact on Facebook continuance intention for males. Different antecedents, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and reputation had a greater influence on Facebook continuance intention for females. The results support the assertions of Social Role Theory. Theoretical and practical contributions are discussed.

social Role Theory of sex differences
The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Gender and Sexuality Studies, 2016Co-Authors: Alice H Eagly, Wendy WoodAbstract:Social Role Theory is a social psychological Theory that pertains to sex differences and similarities in social behavior. Its key principle is that differences and similarities arise primarily from the distribution of men and women into social Roles within their society. Through socialization and the formation of gender Roles, the behaviors of men and women generally support and sustain the division of labor. In industrialized economies, for example, social Roles are organized so that women are more likely than men to be homemakers and primary caretakers of children and to hold caretaking jobs in the paid economy. In contrast, men are more likely than women to be primary family providers and to assume full-time Roles in the paid economy, often ones that involve physical strength, assertiveness, or leadership skills. Keywords: gender; gender difference; gender analysis; gender division of labor; gender equality

evidence for the social Role Theory of stereotype content observations of groups Roles shape stereotypes
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2014Co-Authors: Anne M Koenig, Alice H EaglyAbstract:In applying social Role Theory to account for the content of a wide range of stereotypes, this research tests the proposition that observations of groups' Roles determine stereotype content (Eagly & Wood, 2012). In a novel test of how stereotypes can develop from observations, preliminary research collected participants' beliefs about the occupational Roles (e.g., lawyer, teacher, fast food worker, chief executive officer, store clerk, manager) in which members of social groups (e.g., Black women, Hispanics, White men, the rich, senior citizens, high school dropouts) are overrepresented relative to their numbers in the general population. These beliefs about groups' typical occupational Roles proved to be generally accurate when evaluated in relation to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Then, correlational studies predicted participants' stereotypes of social groups from the attributes ascribed to group members' typical occupational Roles (Studies 1a, 1b, and 1c), the behaviors associated with those Roles (Study 2), and the occupational interest profile of the Roles (Study 3). As predicted by social Role Theory, beliefs about the attributes of groups' typical Roles were strongly related to group stereotypes on both communion and agency/competence. In addition, an experimental study (Study 4) demonstrated that when social groups were described with changes to their typical social Roles in the future, their projected stereotypes were more influenced by these future Roles than by their current group stereotypes, thus supporting social Role Theory's predictions about stereotype change. Discussion considers the implications of these findings for stereotype change and the relation of social Role Theory to other theories of stereotype content.

Gender differences in ethical perceptions of business practices: a social Role Theory perspective.
Journal of Applied Psychology, 1997Co-Authors: George R. Franke, Deborah F. Crown, Deborah F. SpakeAbstract:This study presents a meta-analysis of research on gender differences in perceptions of ethical decision making. Data from more than 20,000 respondents in 66 samples show that women are more likely than men to perceive specific hypothetical business practices as unethical. As suggested by social Role Theory (A. H. Eagly, 1987), the gender difference observed in precareer (student) samples declines as the work experience of samples increases. Social Role Theory also accounts for greater gender differences in nonmonetary issues than in monetary issues. T. M. Jones's (1991) issue-contingent model of moral intensity helps explain why gender differences vary across types of behavior. Contrary to expectations, differences are not influenced by the sex of the actor or the target of the behavior and do not depend on whether the behavior involves personal relationships or action vs. inaction.
