Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preschoolers' typical choices of Halloween costumes reflect their active role in the development of gender-typed behavior because they are personally selecting and expressing their own gender identity through their chosen costumes. This demonstrates how they are actively engaging in and shaping their own understanding of gender roles and expectations. The other options may also be influenced by children's active role, but they are not as direct or explicit in demonstrating the child's personal agency in developing gender-typed behavior.
