One resource that looks useful for illustrating the gender construction and socialization of children and infancy is Barbara Kerr and Karen D. Multon's article entitled "The Development of Gender Identity, Gender Roles, and Gender Relations in Gifted Students," in which they state, "Toddlers (ages 1–4) have a very fluid gender identity; being a boy or girl does not matter much to toddlers. This indifference gives way to gender rigidity in early childhood (about ages 4–7)."

Pertinent-Quality Resources

1. 1

Theorizing Sexuality and Gender in Development. By: Bergstrom-Borins, Adryan This article emphasis the impact that heternormativity has upon the development of gender. I would use this resources as evidence towards the impact of societal norms on the development of gender for all people.

1. 2

MASCULINITY, MALE DEVELOPMENT,GENDER, AND IDENTITY: MODERN AND POSTMODERN MEANINGS (Phillips, Debby A.) Great information on gender roles and their influence on developing gender on page 407: Gender Role Strain Theory and Masculinity This article's main focus is on the view and outlook on masculinity in our society due to the socially constructed gender norms and roles. I would use this article to show the affects gender norms and roles have on an individual as well as the society as a whole. I really think this article will be a great implication to my paper as it will show the harm for males rather than females. We commonly think of females being degraded and affected by socially constructed gender roles, but truthfully gender roles, norms, and stereotypes affect everyone in multiple different ways.

1. 3

The Development of Gender Identity,Gender Roles, and Gender Relations in Gifted Students Kerr, Barbara A. Multon, Karen D. This journal focuses mostly on the affects that gender roles have on gifted students in educational institutions. I would use this resource as support for the idea that gender roles are socially constructed as the ways in which social influences affect us can vary (education, parenting, peers, etc.)

1. 4

The Influence of Parental Attitudes and Behaviors on Children's Attitudes Toward Gender and Household Labor in Early Adulthood. Cunningham, Mick This article evaluates parental influence on children and their attitudes relating to gender roles (housework, family roles, etc.) I would use this article as a source that shows the implications parents have on their children and the development of their children's gender and ideas of gender itself.

1. 5

PARENTAL INFLUENCE ON CHILDREN'S SOCIALIZATION TO GENDER ROLES By: Witt, Susan D. This article assesses the ways in which parents can influence the attitudes, behaviors, and gender roles of children. Along with the previous article, I would use this resource to enhance my argument that parents are one of the greatest social influences on the development of gender understanding and development for children.

1. 6

Gender-role Attitudes in Middle Childhood: In What Ways Do Parents Influence Their Children? Antill, John K., Cunningham, John D., Cotton, Sandra This article includes a study of how parents can influence children. This article includes the ways in which parents' ideas and beliefs influence the ways in which they influence their children. I would use this source as development for my argument of parental influence on gender development.

1. 7

Gender differences in adolescent sexual attitudes: The influence of individual and family factors. Werner-Wilson, Ronald Jay The study shown in this article examined the multiple influences on adolescent sexuality. This article conveys the idea that sexual attitudes and behaviors are influenced by three things: biological and psychological factors, relationships in family and with peers, and socioculture (race, religion, school, and media). Although this article focuses on sexual attitudes rather than gender attitudes, individuals are influenced by the same things. I would attempt to tie this idea together.

1. 8

Readings for Diversity and Social Justice 3rd Edition This book as a whole focuses on the oppression of certain groups within America (racism, classism, sexism, etc.). The area I would focus on would be sexism. The book provides many ways in which individuals are influenced in their development of gender, and also how we are affected by these socially developed ideas of gender (roles, stereotypes, identity). I project this book to be the greatest used source for the development of my paper.
