Evolutionary Psychology and Gender Development http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sORv1odSyQ

Review: What is gender? Evolutionary speaking, why is this? What is natural selection?

What determines biological sex?

Prenatal development 4th and 5th prenatal month Brain Modules Male’s greater testosterone and female’s ovarian hormones impact brain wiring Brain Modules http://www.learner.org/resources/series142.html?pop=yes&pid=1571# Gender Development and Social Influence

Research linked to male/female differences in brain areas with abundant sex hormone receptors during development Ex: adulthood: frontal lobes involved in verbal fluency are thicker in ___________ and part of parietal cortex involved in space perception is thicker in ______________

Gender roles in development Biopsychosocial approach gender is a social construct Culture shapes our roles Role is a cluster of prescribed actions

So what is a gender role? Our expectations about the way men and women behave

What gender roles do you see?

How did we get here? Hunter/gatherers Little division of labor by sex Boys and girls receive same or different upbringing?

Agricultural Societies Women stayed close to home Men often roam more freely

Conclusions? Over time, societies typically socialize children into more distinct gender roles

Social learning theory Assumes that children are gender linked by OBSERVING and IMITATING significant others Rewarded and punished – What does the father say to his son who was in a fight? What does the father say to his daughter who was in a fight?

Society assigns each of us to a category of male and female Gender identity: sense of being male or female Gender typed: acquiring a traditional male or female role Gender schema: What it MEANS to be male or female Humans adjust their behavior accordingly Princess Boy http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/princess-boy-transgender-kids-primetime-nightline-14425305 Sexual Identity Goes Awry http://phptube.hutchcc.edu/videos/1099/sexual-identity-goes-awry
