Dear Sir / Madam



RE: Research proposal: The Relationship Between Gender and Attitudes Towards Traditional

Gender Roles



I am currently associated with UNISA where I am a Psychology Honours student. I have a special

interest in social psychology and gender equality with a keen interest in gender stereotyping. I

attach a proposal for further research in this field.



The reason for approaching you is to submit this proposal for assessment by my peers. The

proposed project is required to attain my Psychology Honours degree. It, therefore, seems

appropriate to propose a research project for my peers to assess to progress in my course.

I hope to hear from you soon.



Yours sincerely,

Toni Pelser

Douglasdale
