West Coast University Week 3 Developmental Theories Discussion

 

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

There is debate among developmental theorists as to what influences thoughts and behavior related to gender. For example, what influences a child to play with a doll versus a truck, or what influences a child to engage in active play versus passive play? Is gender identity more heavily influenced by biological or social factors? Be sure to support your position with material from your text.
