why this age for intervention
7-10 are congitively flexible and malleable
concrete operational, freed by constancy so less rigid
transitional period of life
puberty time is gender intensification
Low SE
when does gender intensification occur
puberty
embrace shift towards more gender typical behavior
sex differences for girls
cooperative, collaborative
relational aggression

gender typing

stereotype
rigid over application of an often negative over simplified cognitive bias about a whole group
judgement
how do kids learn gender roles
- biological thry
- learning thry (operant and bandura observational)
- kohl bergs functional use (schema)
3 theories of learning gender
- biological thry
- learning thry (operant and bandura observational)
- kohl bergs functional use (schema)
ALL BIDIRECTION
all agree in genexenvironment interactions
biological thry of gender
hormones
even if so, not acting in isolation bc environment treats pp differntly
leanring thry of gender
operant and bandura observational social learning
bandura bobo doll exper

observational and imitation
SOCIAL LEARNING
stars early bc nursery environments differ, labels differ
social learning
bandura, observational and imitation
starts early. from birth, we treat kids differently
nursery environments differ
kohlbergs cog thry of FUNCTIONAL USE
functional use of gender to categorize ppl
- the more often a society has functional use for gender, the more rigid gender is
we construct gender by developing schemas
schemas filter our interest
4 stages
4 stages of kohlbergs cog thry of functional use for gender
- gender awareness (baby knows faces)
- know gender label/identity for self (boy and girl at 2-2.5yrs)
- know labels, learn stereotypes and facts - gender stability 4yrs
- the gender i am now will stay the same over time and not change. - gender constancy
- no matter how i appear or behave, superficial changes, the essence of who i am and the gender that makes me will be the same. i have an innate gender deep inside me, an essence, no matter the toys i play with or clothes i wear
- constancy freeing, leads to less strict stereotypes
gender constancy
i have an essence of my self and gender deep inside me that is true
