Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Cognitive Theory

Background:

  • Gender development involves understanding and adhering to societal gender norms.
  • Social cognitive theory posits that observational learning and self-regulation shape behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the developmental shift in gender-related thought and action.
  • To examine the role of personal gender standards in regulating gender-linked behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed children at four gender constancy levels on gender knowledge, personal standards, and behavior.
  • Observed gender-typed behavior across different situational conditions.

Main Results:

  • All children showed more same-sex than cross-sex behavior.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Younger children used peer reactions, while older children used personal standards for self-regulation.
  • Older children's self-sanctions predicted their gender-linked actions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Gender-related conduct regulation develops from external social sanctions to internal self-sanctions.
    • Personal gender standards become increasingly important in guiding behavior during development.
