One of the most defining processes of our time, the effects of globalization are observable in numerous areas, among which the theoretical and practical characteristics of gender studies affecting society stand out. In this context, the gender-based equality ensured by gender ideology, which has resulted in significant changes in society, certain communities, and the economy, is globally spreading and can be perceived anywhere in the world. The gender ideology mostly represents unrestricted self-realization and equal participation, primarily in the labour market. This ideology is mostly represented by individualistic societies and is ensured for their community members through participation in activities provided by social infrastructures and institutions, which opportunities naturally also apply to individuals coming from collectivist societies, who primarily arrive in these countries for employment purposes. Nevertheless, these individuals, primarily women, possess such strong collective social and cultural ties that they find it difficult to adapt to the new environment, and therefore mostly live in diasporas that maintain their cultural values. It is important to highlight that these women exhibit numerous symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression, which not only complicate their daily lives but also further hinder their integration into the new environment. Most studies dealing with gender ideology do not address the potential connections between the ideology and certain mental difficulties, which this study analyses in detail based on questionnaires conducted with Thai women who have settled in Hungary from a collectivist society. The study’s results confirm the assumptions that these women possess such strong collectivist cultural and religious roots that make it difficult for them to accept and adapt to individualistic values and norms, and they experience significant stress and anxiety in their daily lives.
