Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the expressive and instrumental traits of the Spanish Educational Community (students, teachers and parents) and to determine whether fathers and mothers or teachers are who have the greatest infl uence in the transmission of stereotypes gender to students in secondary education. The sample were of teacher (n = 744), students (n = 1113) and their mothers and fathers (n = 917). The scales were administered: the Personal Attributes Questionnaire, PAQ (Spence et al., 1974). The results showed that women are being more expressive, whereas men are more Instrumental and Instrumental-Expressive. Furthermore, teachers are more expressive and more instrumental. This is that they are less stereotyped. Therefore, schools should involve parents in co-educational practices.
