Abstract
CASSEPP-BORGES, Vicente. Identification of the today’s adolescents with the cinderella personage. Bol. psicol [online]. 2007, vol.57, n.127, pp. 239-254. ISSN 0006-5943.
Published in 1981 by Colette Dowling, Cinderella Complex describes a woman role model that prefers to stay comfortable in a marriage rather than to compete into the work market. The objective of this essay was to investigate if we still can find currently adolescents’ characteristics that allow the comparison with the Cinderella character of the fairy tale. A closed questionnaire for gathering the data was used. The results suggested that, still today, we partially find the described model of woman in the beginning of 80’s.
