    El propósito de este estudio fue identificar los factores predictores de las actitudes sexistas en dos grupos de variables. Un grupo relacionado con los estilos de crianza y la división de tareas domésticas. El segundo relacionado con los factores personales de conducta prosocial y agresividad. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 732 adolescentes de entre 12–14 años de Valencia (España). Se realizó el análisis para chicos y chicas por separado. Los análisis de correlación y de regresión lineal múltiple se realizaron en cada submuestra. Los resultados indicaron que la división de tareas domésticas y los estilos de crianza estuvieron relacionados con las actitudes sexistas. Esta conexión fue especialmente fuerte para la división de tareas según los roles de género tradicionales. Se observó que esto condujo a actitudes sexistas hostiles y benevolentes. Los resultados también mostraron que la conducta prosocial y la agresiva estaban correlacionadas con las actitudes sexistas. Los resultados variaron según el sexo. Los hallazgos de este estudio tienen implicaciones para la prevención de actitudes sexistas.

    The aim of this study was to identify which factors were the best predictors of sexist attitudes. To achieve this aim, two groups of variables were analysed. The first group consisted of variables relating to parenting styles and the division of housework. The second group consisted of personal factors related to prosocial behaviour and physical and verbal aggression. The sample was made up of 732 adolescents aged 12–14 from Valencia (Spain). The analysis was conducted separately for boys and girls. Correlation analyses and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted on each subsample. The results show that the division of housework and parenting styles were related to sexist attitudes. This connection was especially strong for the division of housework according to traditional gender roles, which was found to lead to hostile and benevolent sexist attitudes. The results also showed that prosocial and aggressive behaviours were correlated with sexist attitudes. The results varied by gender. The findings of this research have implications for the prevention of sexist attitudes.
