In this study, the researchers wanted to determine the differences in the perception of males and females in same and mixed sex environments on work-related gender roles. The design used in the study was descriptive to illustrate the differences in perception. The researchers use an inclusion criteria to control the amount of interaction they had with their peers and family. The two components were the number and sex of siblings and the extra curricular work outside school. After eliminating those that were invalid, only seven hundred fifty four were valid and included in the study. The analysis used in the study is factorial Analysis of Variance or ANOVA. It was found that males from mixed type of environment are more sex-typed compared to males from exclusive type of environment. Females from exclusive environment are more sex-typed than females from mixed environment. The overall results showed that the sex of the adolescents is actually significant in their perception on gender roles. The type of environment is not significant in the study. Finally, there was an interaction between sex and type on environment towards their perception on work-related gender roles.
