The thesis of this study claims that recent socio-political changes in Greece have aided the political awareness of Greek women and hence their political involvement. The study is based on a public opinion survey. The sample (N = 300) involves three heterogeneous target groups of working women (professional women, saleswomen and women factory workers). To measure the political involvement (or lack thereof) of the Greek working women who were surveyed, an empirical model was constructed involving socio-demographic, ecological and attitudinal indicators. / The findings clearly indicate that traditional agents such as the family, the church and the traditional community setting, have lost considerable influence in the wake of modernizing influence such as urbanization, educational achievement, the increased movement of women into the work force, etc. Increasingly traditional attitudes are being replaced with modern values and modern attitudes concerning appropriate gender roles. This tendency is more evident among working women, and especially among the young, the educated and the urban. These modern attitudes encourage rather than inhibit the involvement of women in politics and the result has been signs of a growing political involvement. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-06, Section: A, page: 1728. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
