Abstract

The college period is an important stage in the development of gender role, which is also a key period in interpersonal relations. At present, many college students in China are facing the pressure of interpersonal communication, and even have difficulty dealing with interpersonal relationships. Previous studies have shown that gender role is an important factor affecting the harmony of college students’ interpersonal relations. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the relationship between the four gender role types and interpersonal relations, and the impact of the four gender role types on the interpersonal relations of Chinese college students. We find that college students whose gender roles are masculine and androgynous have the most harmonious interpersonal relations mode. Besides, college students who are feminine and undifferentiated are more likely to have problems in interpersonal relations. Moreover, suggestions are proposed in order to improve the interpersonal harmony of Chinese college students. Specifically, families, schools, society and media should actively guide college students to develop in the direction of masculinity and androgyny, so as to promote their physical and mental health and adapt to the society. These results offer a guideline that we need to foster more college students whose gender role types are masculine and androgynous in order to improve their interpersonal harmony.
