1. The mass media influence includes things like television and computers. 2. When parents are asked to choose from a list of childhood traits that they consider most desirable for their children, lower-income parents tend to choose traits such as obedience, conformity, staying out of trouble, and keeping neat and clean. 3.

Comments such as “Big boys don’t cry,” “You throw like a girl,” “Let’s play dress-up,” “You’re my little tomboy,” “Help your mother with the dishes,” and “Help your dad take the trash out,” are examples of gender socialization. 5.
