abstract="In Eastern Uganda, 201 adolescents aged 11- to 17-years old (48% girls; Mage = 14.62) answered close- and open-ended questions about gender stereotypes of domestic and recreational activities and gender-role attitudes about women's behavior, rights, and roles. Adolescents answered questions such as &quot;who is more likely to. . .?&quot; assessing descriptive stereotypes (i.e., stereotype knowledge) and questions such as &quot;is it ok for women to. . .?&quot; assessing prescriptive stereotypes (i.e., stereotype endorsement) about gender roles. Data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, correlations, and thematic coding. <br><br>FINDINGS indicate that Ugandan adolescents were fairly egalitarian in some domains (e.g., leisure and recreation) but were non-egalitarian in other domains (e.g., marital and domestic roles). Adolescents held a mix of gender-stereotyped and non-stereotyped views about domestic and recreational activities as well as attitudes about women. <br><br>FINDINGS present reasons for hope and for continued work toward gender equality in Uganda. <br><br>RESULTS may inform interventions that foster gender egalitarian attitudes in youth.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
