Gender Socialization Flashcards
described gender socialization as the “process by which we learn our culture’s gender-related rules, norms and expectations.”
Vinney (2019)
The socialization agents include but not limited to?

described as the “process by which we learn our culture’s gender-related rules, norms and expectations.”
gender socialization
Cognitive development theory explains the need of children to look for role models preferably their parents (because of their presence or availability) whom they learn to develop their ? based on the roles observed assigned for boys and girls.
masculinity or femininity
Whose experience is this:
“My father always tried to encourage me to be strong, play sports, and do things that girls were not supposedly good at doing, like working on carpentry, for example, I tried my best to meet my father’s expectations, but I often failed. Peers often teased me and called me names like ‘wuss’ because I was never good at playing sports and because of my size. I really enjoyed watching sports, but I was afraid to even try to get on teams in middle school because I was setting myself up for failure.”

are also influential agents of gender socialization. They are at the forefronts of establishing the “hows” of expressing gender such as the experienced shared by Mark
Peers
Whose experience is this:
“Being a man means being strong and able to take care of yourself without whining or asking for help. Guys learn early not to be sissies. A kid who cries when the ball hits him will be called a girl. You learn or you don’t have friends. It’s not a big deal, just how it is.”

is likewise an avenue for the enhancement/deterrent of gender expression.

Students
Students have no option but to abide by what are the prevalent gender dynamics so as not to be considered?
deviant
But when left alone, students set their own standards to which anyone can be an?
influencer
Students’ preference of the faculty/professors’ gender is not something that they can contest as it is already the?
school’s prerogative
Whose opinion is this:
“With so many male professors, I think it is difficult for some students to feel comfortable getting to know their professors and asking for help. Women are more likely to connect with a female teacher, minorities are more likely to connect with a teacher of their race, and so on. Colleges always make a big deal about having a diverse campus, but what about the professors? Where are the female professors? Where are the LGBTQ professors? Where are the professors from other cultures and races? If colleges want to have a diverse student body, they should also have a diverse faculty that correlates with the students.”
