Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender-schema theory focuses on how schemas influence gender-related behaviors and attitudes, cognitive-developmental theory would likely focus on stages of development and how they relate to gender, and neo-Piagetian theory would focus on the interaction between the individual and the social context and how it shapes development, but none of these are directly related to the topic of the assigned article.
