Discussion
Expectations associated with being male or female are referred to as __________ and these are learned ___________ .
Answer: A
The answer is gender roles; throughout childhood and into adulthood.
Gender roles are the expectations a society holds about how males and females should behave, dress, work and feel. Children begin learning them very early from family, school, media and peers, and the learning continues and is revised through adolescence and adult life.
Gender constancy is a child's understanding that one's sex stays the same, which develops in early childhood, not adolescence. Gender stereotypes and gender bias are related but different ideas, and the time limits 'only during middle childhood' and 'mainly during early childhood' are too narrow.
