Resumo: The access of women to the professional world did not significantly alter the traditional roles in the family. Women still perform most of the domestic work and have less power than men in decisions that are relevant to family life. Not withstanding these facts, several studies indicate that men and women appear to be satisfied with social practices in the family. In order to further understand the obstacles to change in family roles, 418 teachers of both sexes (aged 24-70 yrs) participated in a study which analyzed the effects of beliefs about sex differences on the perception and judgments of different patterns of family organization, as well as the actors adopting these patterns. Results show that, although men and women consider the equalitarian couple as an ideal one, beliefs about sex differences contribute to more positive judgments of the traditional division of roles and more negative judgments of the equalitarian male actor. According to these results, resistances toward change in family roles can be explained by the persistence of beliefs about sex differences that are largely shared by both men and women.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v15i1.492

No entanto, os cônjuges parecem satisfeitos com as práticas adoptadas no casal. Procurando compreendera s dificuldades na mudança das práticas familiares analisámos, num estudo quase-experimental junto de 418 docentes de ambos os sexos, o efeito das crenças sobre as diferenças entre sexos na percepção e no julgamento de diferentes modelos de organização familiar, assim como dos cônjuges que os adoptam. Os resultados revelam que, além dum aparente consenso acerca dum ideal de organização familiar igualitária, as crenças nas diferenças entre sexos levam a considerar como mais ideal que os cônjuges desempenhem os seus papéis tradicionais e como menos ideal que o homem assuma um papel igualitário. Sendo ainda largamente difundidas, tanto entre as mulheres como entre os homens, as crenças nas diferenças entre sexos poderiam contribuir para explicar as resistências à mudança nos papéis conjugais.
