Gender roles

Gender Roles- Expectations -to think to act and to feel. expected modes of cognition,behaviour and affect.

Views on Gender Development: 

Biology:Hormones, physiological aspects. 

Social- Learning, gender being learned through observation and modelling.

Cognitive Development Theory- How child thinks about gender development 

Gender Schema development- Information processing, main thought in psych, see brain as being a computer.

I bee live that a persons biological hormones and the modelling from around our society are the biggest factors in our gender development. An example of a strong male figure is david Beckham, as he is fit, supports a family, plays sports. An example of a strong female figure is Princess Diana, because she is kind caring and a role model for many people.
