Socialization and gender
  • Differential gender socialization
  • Studies re boy and girl infants and clothing
  • Shakin et al., 1985, found that 90 of all
    infants observed at an American shopping mall
    were wearing clothing that was gender specific
  • Examples of how this continues into adolescence,
    for girls and boys
  • Cross-cultural examples (Rights of Passage
    video)

6
Boys Development
  • Discuss homework on achieving manhood
  • BOYS WILL BE BOYS?
  • Boys' testosterone levels make them "naturally"
    more aggressive. But
  • To what extent is a boy's behavior shaped by his
    family, peers, and his nature? (A.J., Sopranos,
    Season 1, episode 7)

Gender Intensification Hypothesis
  • Differences between males and females become more
    pronounced at adolescence because of the
    intensified socialization pressures to conform to
    culturally prescribed roles
