Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender typing refers to the process of learning behaviors and attitudes that are associated with being male or female in a particular culture. This process includes the acquisition of gender roles, preferences, and values. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not fully capture the process of learning gender roles and associated behaviors. Gender identity formation refers to the development of a person's sense of being male or female. Gender schema development refers to the process by which individuals organize their thoughts and perceptions based on gender. Learned gender differences refer to the differences in behavior, attitudes, and preferences that are learned through socialization.
