Results and Conclusion
In the table above, I have listed behavioural traits, which show clearly that respondents A, B, C, D, E and F were exhibiting gender norm violation in comparison to expected behaviour in their mother countries. Respondents G-L show no such tendencies. Therefore 50% of respondents had developed androgynous traits after arriving in this country (in relation to the gender norms of their country of origin - for example ec05 id24).

Evaluation
Although my results seem conclusive, content analysis has its limitations – for instance I may have noticed behaviour which showed gender norm violation and ignored behaviour which did not.  Also, the person who is doing the content analysis should ideally, have no knowledge of the research his/her results are supporting. Clearly, my hypothesis is based upon the tacit assumption that gender roles in the country of origin were sex stereotyped. I found however, that this was not always the case - for example md23 id23
