Sex role or gender stereotypes

Sex role stereotype This is defined as: – An organised belief about the behaviour, attitudes and characteristics expected of males and females. – Stereotypes cause us to overemphasise the similarities between individual members of the same group while overestimating the differences between different groups.

Adult gender stereotypes about infants Children’s gender stereotypes Gender stereotypes in the media
