Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between gender stereotypes
and emotional self-disclosure in young adults. It was intended to
determine the predictors of different emotions. A self-constructed
Demographic Questionnaire; Gender Typicality Measure (Patterson,
2012) and Emotional Self Disclosure Scale (Snell, 1990) were
administered to measure gender stereotyping and the level of
emotional self-disclosure, respectively. The sample comprised of 300
young adults; 150 men and 150 women, (Mage=21.16, SD=1.84)
recruited from two different educational institutes of Lahore.
Reliability analysis was run to determine the reliability of the scales
used in the study. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient,
Multiple hierarchical Regression, independent Sample t Test and
Cohen’s d were computed. Results revealed a significant relationship
between gender stereotyping and happiness. Gender, education and
gender stereotyping emerged as significant predictors of happiness and
fear. Women manifested higher emotional disclosure of happiness and
fear. The current findings have implications for educational
psychologists and for professionals focusing on gender related factors.
