PSYCH 130 Chapter Notes - Chapter 13.3: Observational Learning, Gender Role, Androgyny
Document Summary
Parents continue to demand greater independence from boys. Different perceptions for competencies in various school subjects. Use more directive speech (imperatives and specific suggestions) with girls. More autonomy granted to boys (ask questions instead of commands) Match between parental values and non-traditional child rearing practices reduced gender stereotype and gender role behavior in children. More time father dedicates to child care less gender type in emotional expression in child. More stimulating play with sons than daughters. Mothers engaged in quiet play with both sexes. Parents seem equally committed in ensuring gender typing of children of their own sex. Reinforce children of both sex for feminine rather than masculine behavior. Girls who conform can have long term consequences for independence and self esteem. By emphasizing gender distinctions, promote gender stereotyping, ingroup favoritism and outgroup prejudice. More frequent use of disapproval and controlling disciple with boys due to expectation that boys misbehave more often.
