Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development.

Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived.
