The present study investigates the change of gender role attitudes in Germany between 1982 and 2016. Nine waves of the German General Social Survey are used (N = 26,389). In contrast to previous trend studies, which largely ignore age effects, a mechanism-based age-period-cohort model (Winship/Harding 2008) is applied. It becomes clear that age, period and cohort independently have an impact on gender role ideology. Compared to earlier research, new insights concerning the shape of cohort effects come to light: Specific to traditional gender ideology in Western Germany, it is apparent that the trend towards increasingly egalitarian attitudes comes to a halt in men born around 1956 and later and in women born 1966. For Eastern Germany we observe that the cohort-specific trend towards liberalisation in younger cohorts either is diminishing or even tends to reverse. This pattern of effects mainly mirrors the phases of the feminist movement in Western Germany and the rise and decline of the German Democratic Republic, respectively.

1982-2016 年德国的性别角色态度：年龄-时期-队列 (APC) 分析

本研究调查了 1982 年至 2016 年间德国性别角色态度的变化。使用了九波德国一般社会调查 (N = 26,389)。与以前在很大程度上忽略年龄影响的趋势研究相比，应用了基于机制的年龄-周期-队列模型（Winship/Harding 2008）。很明显，年龄、时期和群体独立地对性别角色意识形态产生影响。与早期的研究相比，关于队列效应的新见解浮出水面：具体到德国西部的传统性别意识形态，1956 年及以后出生的男性和女性的日益平等主义态度的趋势显然停止了1966年出生。对于东德，我们观察到年轻群体中特定群体的自由化趋势要么正在减少，要么甚至趋于逆转。这种影响模式主要反映了西德女权运动的阶段和德意志民主共和国的兴衰阶段。
