 Gender Roles : A set of expected behaviors for males and for females.  Ex: Females are often expected to be the ones to make sandwiches and clean while males are the ones expected to support the family by working.

 Gender Typing : The acquisition of a traditional masculine or feminine role.  Ex: Kids associate the color pink with girls and the color blue with boys because when they are younger most “girl toys” are pink and most “boy toys” are blue.

 Gender Schema Theory : The theory that children learn from their cultures a concept of what it means to be male and female and that they adjust their behavior accordingly.  Ex: If a girl sees that her brother is encouraged to wrestle with her father, she creates an idea governing how boys and girls should play.

 Before age 1, children begin to discriminate between male and female voices and faces.  After age 2, language forces children to organize their worlds according to gender.  At age 3, children start to seek out members of their own gender to play.  These stereotypes peak at age 6.
