Explain the concept of sex-typicality and how it relates to social cognitive theories of gender development
What will be an ideal response?
According to social cognitive theories of gender development, reinforcement, imitation, and, eventually, self-regulation all play a strong role in producing sex-typed behaviors. An important factor influencing the likelihood of imitation is the sex typicality of the model's behavior—that is, how characteristic the behavior is of the model's own sex. Research shows that children are more likely to imitate same-sex than other-sex models and that self-regulation of sex-typed behaviors increases with development.
