PSY323H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Appeasement
Document Summary
Just because parents act in a particular way, doesn"t mean child will (example: mother being feminist, but not the daughter). We"re getting information from our equals (peers) than our superiors (parents). Acting with others does change because there are other people"s wills and influence and you have to compromise. Just because someone is aggressive, doesn"t mean they fight with everyone. It depends on the interaction (who"s in the group (1 or 2 people), expectation of the group). Boys grow up with boys and girls grow up with girls until we have to or until adolescence. We are isolated in our gender groups then have to get along after having ignored and not interacted with each other. This is hard to do with power differentials, lack of experience, opposite stereotypes. We are learning within our group how we are supposed to act.
