Most research show that high educational attainment is associated
with liberal attitudes on a number of issues including gender roles. Bearing this in
mind, whether correlation between educational level and one specifi c set of values
concerning gender roles (patriarchal values) diff ers between diff erent (more or less
patriarchal) cultural settings is tested in this paper. In order to answer this question
data gathered in 59 countries as part of the World Value Survey (Wave 6, 2010-
2014) was used. Composite scale (α=.737), similar to the one used by Alexander and
Welzel (2011), was created to measure patriarchal values and it included answers on
8 Likert type questions. Countries were ranked by score on this scale and 5 European
countries with the highest acceptance of patriarchal values (Estonia, Belarus, Russia,
Ukraine, Turkey) were compared to 5 European countries with the lowest acceptance
of these values (Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, Sweden). Results show ...that
there is a weak correlation between educational attainment and patriarchal values
in the most “patriarchal countries” (rs=-.161, sig.=.000) and a moderate correlation
in the least “patriarchal countries” (rs=-.327, sig.=.000). Based on Fisher r-to-z
transformation we can claim that this diff erence is signifi cant (Z=9.965, p=.000)
and conclude that the correlation between educational attainment and patriarchal
values is stronger among people in less patriarchal countries. Though Serbia did not
participate in this cycle of survey, based on available data from previous cycle (2005-
2009), Serbia would be mid-ranked among European countries with relatively low
correlation between educational attainment and acceptance of patriarchal values.
Bearing in mind results of this study, it could be assumed that only with change of
global cultural context in this country, education could become more closely related
to abandonment of patriarchal values.
