Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kohlberg's cognitive-developmental view of gender typing suggests that children play an active role in their own gender typing by forming concepts of gender and then fitting their behavior to those concepts. Kohlberg believed that children progress through three stages of gender typing: gender identity (age 2-3), gender stability (age 4-5), and gender constancy (age 6-7). During these stages, children develop an understanding of what it means to be male or female and adjust their behavior accordingly. Therefore, option A is not correct as Kohlberg did not suggest that gender is "stamped" into the wiring of the brain. Option C is incorrect as Kohlberg did not believe that caregivers are the sole determining force in the gender typing of children.
