AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Gender, while associated with sex, is a separate aspect of an individual. It is ultimately the result of a person’s relation to their society’s understanding of gendered groups. Gender identity is defined as a personal conception of oneself as male, female, both, or neither.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. A stereotypic pattern of gender differences has been found in previous self-concept research. Men have tended to rate themselves higher on self-concept measures of giftedness, power, and invulnerability, and women have rated themselves higher on self-concept measures of likability and morality.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most researchers define and measure the masculine self-concept in terms of content by focusing on the extent that a man displays personality characteristics or behaviors that are stereotypically associated with men (e.g., risk-taking).

Detailed explanation-4: -Gender identity is each person’s internal and individual experience of gender. It is a person’s sense of being a woman, a man, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum. A person’s gender identity may be the same as or different from their birth-assigned sex.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time.
