Abstract
This article is based on a self-report survey by 9th-grade students of their mothers and fathers, living in cities, villages and refugee camps of the West Bank and Gaza Strip during 1994 and 1995. The survey focuses on traditional and contemporary family roles and how they are influenced by education, employment, religiosity, and political activities. The researchers found that contrary to western theories of modernization; educational attainment, employment opportunities and political involvement had little impact on, i.e., poor predictors of, family roles and cultural values in Palestinian communities.
