Document Summary
Five senses of self: ecological self: sense of how we fit into the world, automatic, immediate, non verbal, sensormotary. Another example with humans: before evidence of self-recognition, once self-recognition emerges around 18-24 months. Alternative explanations: self-concept: children understand that the mirror image is them, touches the mark on themselves as opposed to their reflections, kinesthetic self-concept: notices synchrony between motion in mirror and in the real world. Gender roles and stereotypes: men and women act differently in most societies, resulting in many efforts to explain the acquisition of gendered identities, sex: biological and physical attributes, gender: masculine and feminine behaviors, gender typing: culturally-assigned roles. Gender typing: gender-based beliefs: expectations, gender stereotypes: basis of beliefs, gender roles: distinct behaviors displayed, gender identity: perception of self, gender role preferences: desires. In the us, influenced by ethnicity and race, age, education, and parenting of children: real gender differences exist, but some data are inconclusive and other effects are simply mythical.
