| | Gender role - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the social sciences and humanities, a gender role is a set of behavioral norms associated with males and with females, respectively, in a given social group or system. | | | Gender roles have long been a staple of the Nature/Nurture debate: Traditional theories of gender usually assume that one's gender identity, and hence one's gender role, is a natural given. | | | Gender roles can influence all kinds of behavior, such as choice of clothing, choice of work and personal relationships; E.g., parental status (See also Sociology of fatherhood). |

| | Atypical gender role - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Gender role is a term used in the social sciences and humanities to denote a set of behavioral norms associated with a given gendered status (also called a gendered identity) in a given social group or system. | | | Typically these individuals maintain sets of gender signals (clothing, etc.) that are concordant with their external genitalia, and maintain sets of gender roles that are generally concordant with the expectations of the general society regarding the various kinds of behavior outside the domain of courtship, precoital, and coital behavior. | | | A person who exhibits a gender role at odds with the norm for their gender and class, in a society, is said to have an atypical gender role. |

| | Gender identity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | When, for instance, the gender identity of a person makes him a man, but his genitals are female, he may experience what is called gender dysphoria, i.e., a deep unhappiness caused by his experience of himself as a man and his lack of male genitals. | | | The related term, "gender role," has two meanings that in individual cases may be divergent: First, people's gender roles are the totality of the ways by which they express their gender identities. | | | The formation of a gender identity is a complex process that starts with conception, but which involves critical growth processes during gestation and even learning experiences after birth. |

| | THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 15, Ch. 192, Psychosexual Disorders |
| | Gender role behaviors fall on a continuum of traditional masculinity or femininity. | | | Although biologic factors, such as gender complement and the prenatal hormonal milieu, largely determine gender identity, the formation of a secure, unconflicted gender identity and gender role is influenced by social factors, such as the character of the parents' emotional bond and the relationship that each of them has with the child. | | | Core gender identity is a subjective sense of knowing to which gender one belongs, ie, the awareness that "I am a male" or "I am a female." Gender identity is the inner sense of masculinity or femininity. |

| | Pejorative terms for failed gender roles arise when some group in a society looks at individuals and decides that some performances of gender role behavior are in some way unsatisfactory. | | | There are probably as many gender roles as there are individuals, although they will fall into broadly similar groups most of the time. | | | There are also pejorative terms that apply to atypical gender roles. |

| | Gender Role and ISO In an ever-changing society with complex values, it is difficult to determine whether perceptions regarding such traditional ideals as gender roles have changed and what effect such change can have on interpersonal interactions. | | | It follows that if an individual does not adhere to a traditional gender role he or she is more likely to question traditional values regarding relationships and less likely to seek a traditionally-defined relationship. | | | Research suggests that there may be a correlation between an individual’s gender role and his or her expectations for an intimate relationship. |

| | Because of the strong influence of parents on gender role socialization, those parents who wish to be gender fair and encourage the best in both their sons and their daughters would do well to adopt an androgynous gender role orientation and encourage the same in their children. | | | This overview of the impact of parental influence on gender role development leads to the suggestion that an androgynous gender role orientation may be more beneficial to children than strict adherence to traditional gender roles. | | | However, the strongest influence on gender role development seems to occur within the family setting, with parents passing on, both overtly and covertly, to their children their own beliefs about gender. |

| | Although the idea of gender roles as multidimensional in nature is well accepted, little attention has been paid to the idea that children may be learning the content of male and female gender roles separately, rather than as a single set of associations with gender (Stangor & Ruble, 1987). | | | In the present study, children's knowledge of gender roles is assessed at 36 months, when individual differences in knowledge of these broader associative aspects of gender stereotypes can be expected. | | | Although recently there has been increased emphasis on adult males' nurturing roles, particularly as fathers, young boys are still expected to spend their time in traditional activities, such as sports (Pellett & Harrison, 1992), and to view their life goals in occupational terms. |

| | Consequently, the gendered aspects of most children's ads (see Tables), undoubtedly contribute to the normative patterns of early gender role formation that leads to the social realities of gendered standards in scholastic tracking, occupational sectoring and salary hierarchy, reproductive roles, and familial dynamics. | | | This being so, how male and female children relate to one another within both same and cross gender social interactions is as likely to have been influenced by commercial performances as by the examples of their peers or even by the model of their family (Bandura, 1966; Smith, 1994). | | | By viewing such commercial content on a daily basis, children are forming ideals and norms of female/male and femininity/masculinity that may actually contradict even the realities of their families and friends. |

| | Finally, researchers say their findings indicate that the influences of shared environmental factors on gender role behavior may be more important in early childhood than in adolescence and adulthood. | | | In contrast, genetics had a substantial impact on girls' gender role behavior, while the environment played a less significant role in girls' selection of typically feminine behaviors, such as playing with dolls. | | | Although a child's genes explain many of the differences in whether they adopt feminine or masculine behaviors, researchers say little is known about the extent to which genetic vs. social and environmental factors contribute to individual differences in gender role behaviors, especially during the preschool years. |

| | In the gender debate an important (and less opinion-ladened) area to study is how this motive, invisible as it is, fits in with the character concept as presented to the world. | | | One way of checking the importance of a role's gender would be to ask whether that role could be filled by a character of either gender and whether the experience would be different because of it. | | | So the role is not only rooted in the character concept and how it is enacted, but also in the societal setting within which the role-play occurs. |
