Gender Development |
Gender roles are the combination of attitudes, behaviors, and
personality characteristics that a culture considers appropriate for an
individual’s anatomical sex. Psychologists have proposed a number of
theories to explain gender typing (LeFrancois, 2012).
For this discussion, you will choose and
analyze two of the four scenarios in the videos below, and explain how each
scenario relates to the theories that explain gender typing.
a. Boy Meets
Girl (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
b. Free to Be, You and Me –
Ladies First (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
c. Free to Be You and Me –

d. Free to Be You and Me –
William Wants a Doll (Links to an external site.)Links to an external
site.
What do you think influenced the children in
each video? Next, explain how your own gender identity may have been
influenced by gender stereotypes. Finally, what are some strategies you
can use in an early childhood educational setting to avoid gender
stereotyping?
Guided
Response: Review several
of your classmates’ posts. Respond to at least two of your classmates by
providing additional ways that teachers or caregivers can minimize
stereotypical differences in the classroom. Compare your classmates’
analyses of the videos to your own, and point out any differences or
similarities that you find.
