Document Summary
Chapter 13 - gender and sexuality: when you psychologically and biologically agree on your gender, you are cisgender. In this case, nurture was not stronger than nature but this is a study, it does not conclude generally. Gender roles - a set of norms, or culturally prescribed expectations that define how people of one gender ought to behave. Gender stereotypes - a rigid set of beliefs about a group of people that distinguishes them from others: generalizations that distinguish one gender from the other and applies to all members of that group. Socialization - the ways in which society conveys to the individual its norms or expectations for his or her behaviour: masculine traits: gentlemanly, strong and silent, protective, aggressive, course, crude. No: observational learning - winnie the pooh and sesame street only had male characters. Hamilton et al (2006) analyzed gender stereotyping in children"s picture books: no decline over time, gendered occupations continued.
