Boys are very afraid of losing their boyhood (more so than girls want to be boys) (c) sex type behavior manifests (i) If gender and self schemas are the same (assimilated) > develop either a female or male identity (c) gender id developed (d) sex typed behavior driven by gender identification (you conform to the gender identity) (i) Status deference: females as low status group is not as identified with their group and the weaker gender id, which results in weaker sex typed behavior. From young teens, the following developments occur: (1) personalization > abstraction (a) ex.
