Description
Understanding gender development in childhood is crucial for grasping how social norms shape young lives. This Element provides an overview and review of research from a developmental science perspective, exploring key concepts such as sex, gender identity, and cultural variations.
The authors examine major theoretical perspectives on child gender, discuss differences between girls and boys based on meta-analytic evidence, and explore the development of gender, gender identity, and socialization across infancy, early childhood, and middle childhood. The study concludes with a discussion of future directions for research in this area.
