What is self-socialization, and how does it relate to Kohlberg's cognitive developmental theory of gender development?

What will be an ideal response?


Self-socialization is Kohlberg's concept that, once children attain gender constancy, they are internally motivated to behave in a manner consonant with their conceptions of what is sex appropriate. External motivators (such as reinforcements and punishments) are of minimal importance in the process of self-socialization.
