The purpose of this study was to examine preschool teachers' attitude towards gender roles, using their background as a variable. This study employed the questionnaire survey procedure. The questionnaire was developed by the researcher and it was administered to a sample size of 1,070 preschool educators from 5 cities in central area of Taiwan. These samples were selected using stratified random sampling. Among the 986 responses collected, 969 were valid. Data sets were analyzed using descriptive statistics, dependent and independent t-test, one-way multivariate analysis of variance (one-way MANOVA), and multi-regression analysis. The main findings were as follows: (1) The attitude of preschool educators toward gender role earned a medium score, with most holding traditional gender role stereotypes towards the inherent advantages each gender has over the other. (2) There were significant differences among preschool educators based on their age, level of education, marital status, service district, years of service, type of service organization, and parents' views towards gender roles. However, there was no significant difference with regard to the subjects' duties and studying. (3) Different background variables such as preschool educator's differing education level, service district, service organization and parents' gender-role might be a significantly predictive factor of their attitudes to general gender-role attitudes.
