Describe two genetic aspects and two cultural aspects of gender identity development and how they influence gender development
Culture shapes the prevailing gender-related stereotypes, attitudes, and beliefs to which children are exposed and internalize (Bigler & Liben, 2007; Wong & VanderLaan, 2020), and consequently influences children’s social exclusion behavior (Park et al., 2003).
