Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender roles refer to the set of socially constructed expectations about how males and females are supposed to act based on their gender. This includes how they should dress, speak, behave in social situations, and fulfill certain societal expectations. Media roles and gendered behavior are related concepts but not as comprehensive as gender roles. Roles and societal normative genderization are not specific enough and do not capture the gendered aspect of expectations.
