Abstract:	The dissertation deals with measures of gender role attitudes over time. I analyze whether measures of gender role attitudes in national and international omnibus surveys need to be revised or not. Furthermore, I show how measures of gender role attitudes can be revised using the example of the German General Social Survey. I present a revised measure. Finally, I analyze how gender role attitudes developed in East and West Europe since 1990 and whether the attitudes converge or diverge. I discuss how the analyses help to improve existing measures.
