These attitudes were examined according to the intensity of four major social and psychological categories: family relations, global self-esteem, social self-efficacy and externality of locus of control. Also, possible discrimination between these two groups was investigated. Measuring instruments: The Attitudes toward gender equality scale (Ravlic & Raboteg-Šarić, 2002), Faces IV questionnaire (Olson & Gorrall, 2006), a self-concept scale (Bezinović, 1988) with subscales: General Self-esteem (Rosenberg scale) and Locus of control, Perceived Social Self-Efficacy (PSSE) Scale (Caprara & Steca, 2005). The research sample consisted of 390 students of the University of Niš from various faculties and field orientation toward natural and social sciences. For statistical analysis of the data, the analysis of variance and canonical discriminant analysis were used. According to the analyses, it was determined that persons with egalitarian gender-role tendency may be discriminated against those of traditional tendency based on the identified levels of cohesion and flexibility in family functioning, as well as intensity of global self-esteem and internal locus of a control. In organizing certain interventions, it is important to have in mind that overcoming traditional perceptions on gender roles and strengthening and improvement egalitarian gender-role attitudes of new generations should not be only scientific goal and research material. It also should be the first task and achievement of modern society and representation of what is the personification of justice, democracy, and equality and above all kindness and humanity.
