Answer to Question 1
Gender socialization is the aspect of socialization that contains specific messages and
practices concerning the nature of being female or male in a specific group or society.
In some families, gender socialization starts before birth. Parents who learn the sex of
the fetus often purchase color-coded and gender-typed clothes, toys, and nursery
decorations in anticipation of their daughter's or son's arrival. After the child has been
born, parents may respond differently toward male and female infants they often play
more roughly with boys and talk more lovingly to girls. Throughout childhood and
adolescence, boys and girls are typically assigned different household chores and given
different privileges (such as how late they may stay out at night). The relationship
between gender socialization and social class is complex. We are limited in our
knowledge about gender socialization practices among racialethnic groups because
most studies have focused on white, middle-class families. Like the family, schools,
peer groups, and the media contribute to our gender socialization.
