Gender roles are the combination of attitudes, behaviors, and personality characteristics that a culture considers appropriate for an individual's anatomical sex. Psychologists have proposed a number of theories to explain gender typing (LeFrancois, 2012).

For this discussion, you will choose and analyze two of the four scenarios in the videos below, and explain how each scenario relates to the theories that explain gender typing.

1. Boy Meets Girl

Respond to at least two of your classmates by providing additional ways that teachers or caregivers can minimize stereotypical differences in the classroom.
