Role Changes in the Contemporary Couples
Cristian Ciupercă
Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The contemporary society amplifies the tum up of family conflicts, because we find ourselves in a period when masculine and feminine gender roles are being redefining, a process accelerated by feminism. Not only the redefinition of gender roles, but also its misunderstanding lead to some extremely diverse gender-role behaviours, which encourage arguing and dissatisfaction within the couple. My study is focused on some of the consequences generated by the on-going reconversion of gender roles and on some of the problems of contemporary couples.
