Sex Roles: Charting the Complexity of Development

Synopsis

Examines three theories of socialisation - Freudian, cognitive-developmental, and social-learning - and analyses how each theory views the nature vs nurture controversy. Explores the impact of sex-role stereotypes on the developing child, looking at the differences these stereotypes create in scholastic achievement, interaction with peers, and expectations for the future.
