De Anza College Discrimination Among Different Types of Bias Questions

 

Gender Role Stereotypes

A stereotype is a preconceived notion, especially about a group of people. Many stereotypes are racist, sexist, or homophobic. Stereotypes include ideas about what is and is not male or female. The stereotypical feminine role includes such traits as gentleness, dependency, kindness, helpfulness, patience, and submissiveness. The stereotypical male role includes such traits as toughness, protectiveness, independence, and competitiveness.

Gender Roles are culturally determined patterns of behaviors seen as appropriate that societies prescribe to the sexes. In other words, ways in which males and females are expected to behave within a given culture or society.
