Document Summary
Gender differences between males and females not necessarily driven by biology but maybe caused by environment. Trying to put the pieces together, different lines: one line: take a bunch of babies, assess on different characteristics (body mass, reflexes, etc. ) no meaningful differences from birth: another: unidentified baby, let participants guess the gender 50/50 split, at chance, once we apply the label, we see differences in the way we treat the baby. College students view video half are told it"s male, half are told it"s female give different reasons for crying (male: angry, female: frightened) Families of newborn infants treat them differently (female: cuddle, male: rough housing) Bow: delicate, frightened; baseball cap: hardy, angry. Gender, socialization, and money across cultures: what we"ve discussed so far is true for caucasian family, **filipino: financial practices managed by the mothers of the family. 17: culture and personality: it"s like what memory is to individuals.
