In this study, the questionnaire survey was employed and “Questionaire for the curent situations and the relationship between types of gender roles and occpational interests of elementary school students” was designed to collect data in the survey and research. In order to achieve these purposes, the subjects recruited in the study were fourth graders and sixth graders studying at public elementary schools in Kaohsiung City, where the stratified cluster sampling method was used and a total of 895 valid questionnaires were received therewith. Then, statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, chi-square test, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA analysis, Pearson Production Moment and stepwise multiple regression analysis were applied to those collected data and to obtain versified results as the findings of further data analysis. The results of the statistical analysis and conclusions obtained are as follows:
1. The current status of the types of elementary school children’s gender roles is more androgynous. Mother is the primary factor to the influence on these school children’s developments of gender roles, and father is regarded as the second factor.
2. Elementary school students are more interested in the artistic type and research types of ocupations, while less interested in actual types of occupations; the factors to the influence on the occupational interests are mainly personal qualities, followed by gender; the viewpoints of parents also play a cirtical role.
3. Girls are more oriented in "androgynous" and "feminine" than boys, while boys are more oriented in “masculine" and "undifferentiated" than girls; the eldest child is more "androgynous" than other children ranked in the middle; the youngest child is more "feminine" than the only child; those ranked in the middle are more "undifferentiated" than the eldest one; children living in moderately prosperous conditions are more "androgynous" than those in common status.
4. The 4th-graders are more interested in the most occupational types than the 6th-graders; boys are more interested in the "actual" type, “research" type, “entrepreneurial” type of occupations than girls, while the girls are more interested in the "artistic", "social" types of occupations than boys; the higher the proportion of brothers, the more interests the schooling children have in the actual type of occupation; the higher the proportion of girls, the more interests the school children have in the artistic type of occupation.
5. The type of gender role as "androgynous" is connected more with the interests in five types of occupations, “research” type, "artistic" type, "social" type, "enterprise" type and "transactional" type.
6. The type of gender role has obvious influences on versified types of occupational interests, wherein the tendency to be "androgynous" has greater impacts on the various types of occupational interests.
