Answer to Question 2

Gender typing starts with gender identity. This is the basic awareness that one is either
female or male. At first, this has little meaning to children other than a label. Quickly,
however, the child receives messages about what is expected from girls and boys
(gender stereotypes). Parents, media, and other children all communicate gender roles
to children such as girls play with dolls and boys play with trucks.. There is some
evidence that males and females use their brains differently, and this may account for
some gender differences. In addition to gender identity, there is gender stability (the
recognition that one retains the same sex for a lifetime) and gender constancy (the
understanding that changes in appearance, such as a woman cutting her hair short, do
not change one's sex).
