Abstract
he research presents the results of the study of ethno-psychological aspects of Kazakhstani women’s gender self-awareness. This phenomenon is shown as an integral psychological formation with 3 components: cognitive, emotional, and behavioral. We have researched the cognitive component through the content of women’s gender identity and common stereotypes. The emotional component is through the study of such a psychological variable as attitude towards identity. We determined the behavioral component of gender self-awareness through the variable of attitude types towards family’s gender roles, as well as the ratio of gender tolerance and intolerance, and the level of formation of gender self-awareness among Kazakhstani women.We have formed a hypothesis about the ethno-psychological determination of the structure of women’s gender self-awareness.In the process of the study, two samples of respondents were identified in a multi-ethnic environment - Kazakh women and other ethnic groups. In this article, gender attitudes as availability for a certain family gender-role model are studied under the influence of cultural specifics, namely ethnic culture. Attitudes were studied using a test of attitudes towards the distribution of family roles, developed by Yu.E. Aleshina, L.Ya. Gozman and E.M. Dubovskaya
