Question

1. How we learn to be “boys” and “girls”

 

Powlishta, K.K., Sen, M.G., Serbin, L.A., Poulin-Dubois, D., & Eichstedt, J.A. (2001). From infancy through middle childhood: The role of cognitive and social factors in becoming gendered. In Unger, R.K. (Ed.), Handbook of the psychology of women and gender.

 

2. “Cognitively oriented theories of gender-role development propose that such behaviors and preferences follow directly from the tendency to categorize on the basis of gender and to form gender stereotypes. That is, because of a desire to behave in a gender-consistent manner, children come to prefer people, activities, and objects associated with their own sex.”

 

Social learning theory, on the other hand, places more emphasis on the impact of the social environment on gender-role development. Exposure to gender-typed models and reinforcement contingencies encourages children to behave in a gender-typed manner (Mischel, 1966).”

 

3. Personal development: How we create gender

 

Crawford, M. (2001) Gender and language. In Unger, R.K. (ed.). Handbook of the psychology of women and gender.           

 

4. Essentialist  Theory or Social Constructionist p.230-231

 

Essentialism conceptualizes gender as a set of properties residing in one’s personality, self-concept, or traits. Gender is something women and men have or are; it is a noun (Bohan, 1993).”

 

In contrast, the Social Constructionist views gender as a social construct-a system of meaning that organizes interactions and governs access to power and resources. From this view, gender is not an attribute of individuals but a way of making sense of transactions. Gender is conceptualized as a verb, not a noun.”

Answer:

Socializing influences seems to encourage me to pursuit my own destiny in all honesty.  I haven’t necessarily had to be told what should or shouldn’t be done because after all, your future is what you make of it.  I have read and watched a lot of what the media portrayed as the “look” for both men and women.  I don’t really think that pushed me to
