LOURENCO, Clície Aparecida Pereira; AFONSO, Maria Lúcia Miranda; MOREIRA, Maria Ignez Costa  e  VIEIRA-SILVA, Marcos. University youth and citizenship rights: meanings attributed to gender equality. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.3, pp.1-19. ISSN 1809-8908.

The paper relates a research, conducted in 2014-2015, on the meanings attributed by university students to the rights of citizenship, emphasizing gender equality. The literature review approaches youth and gender relations, and legal changes in women's rights after Federal Constitution/1988. It questions how the generation that lived these changes perceived the equality of gender. In Social Psychology, it is a study of meanings correlated to the social and historical context. A statistically significant survey was conducted with 423 students, aged 18-29, in three universities. Results are that most agree with generic claims about gender equality, but this rate falls significantly when it comes to the legal guarantee of rights. Traditional values ​​are associated with family. The impact variables were sex (women support more gender equality) and religion (Protestants are more traditional). The paper reflects on these meanings in Brazilian society, with the crisis and challenges related to citizenship.
