This study examines factors influencing men's attitudes toward women's roles in Libya. Interviews were conducted during the summer of 1979 with 200 males in the city of Tripoli. Bivariate and multivariate analyses examined respondents' attitudes toward women's roles in the division of labor in the home, family decision making, labor force participation, and political participation. Men's age, education, and type of family of orientation (nuclear or extended) were important in both types of analysis. Social status, while unimportant in bivariate relationships, became significant in the multivariate framework. Whether the respondent's mother worked outside the home was important in the bivariate matrix but contributed nothing significant in the multivariate analysis. The results indicate that nontraditional attitudes are being displayed among the young and the educated. Attitudes toward the status of women in Libya appear to be changing from those characterized as traditional to those viewed as more modern or egalitarian. Attitude-behavior inconsistencies are noted and discussed.
