Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender-role identity refers to a person's subjective identification with the traits associated with masculinity or femininity, as shaped by social and cultural influences. It is different from sexual orientation, which refers to a person's romantic or sexual attraction to individuals of a certain gender. Gender stereotype refers to the culturally-held beliefs about what characteristics are typical of males and females, whereas gender-role transcendence refers to the idea that individuals should be judged based on their personal attributes rather than their adherence to gender roles.
