Gender Ideology in Europe: Plotting Normative Types in a Multidimensional Space

Abstract Two recent articles (Grunow et al. in J Marriage Fam 80(1):42-60, 2018; Knight and Brinton in Am J Sociol 122(5):1485-1532) suggest that gender ideology is multidimensional.

Two recent articles (Grunow et al. in J Marriage Fam 80(1):42-60, 2018; Knight and Brinton in Am J Sociol 122(5):1485-1532) suggest that gender ideology is multidimensional. Such a finding is of utmost importance because, if robust, it can be used in future comparative (multilevel) research. However, these two articles present different results on which gender ideology profiles are dominant in Europe.
