Abstract:
The aim of the research was to determine the psychological gender
against the background of a partner’s support and the spouse’s workplace.
The research involved a group of 503 married women and men,
including 354 professional soldiers - of who 152 have participated in
military missions and 202 work in Poland. The research included also
149 women - 94 wives of soldiers participating in missions and 55
women in relationship with soldiers doing their job in Poland. To collect
the data for research the nonprobability snowball and purposive
sampling methods have been applied. The research was conducted in
2013. The respondents, in majority showing androgynous characteristics,
perceive the support on the part of their families as average or very
low. Substantial differences as to the psychological gender and support
have been observed in the group of soldiers doing their service in their
home country. The feminine men and people with unspecified gender
identity seem to receive the lowest support, while the androgynous
people and male men experience the highest one. Interesting dispersion
of results has been observed - the lowest for the group of feminine
men, the highest for the androgynous ones.
