Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender typing refers to the process by which children learn and adopt the gender roles and stereotypes associated with their culture, such as what it means to be masculine or feminine. This process can occur through various socialization agents, such as parents, peers, media, and schools. Gender identity formation and gender schema development are related concepts that describe other aspects of gender development, but they do not specifically refer to the process of learning gender roles and stereotypes. "Learned gender differences" is too broad of a term and could refer to any aspect of gender development, rather than specifically the process of gender typing.
