Self-Esteem• Evaluative part of the self-concept
– emotional• Difference between the real and ideal self
– Have you realized your potential?– Do you value the trait, but have little potential?– Ideal self includes the “ought” and the “wish” selves
• Measure of our sense of meaning in life– This includes purpose– Self-respect (Have you lived up to who you are?)
• Influenced by the reactions of others– Generalized other, great ubiquitous “they”
• It is tougher to accept criticism• Basis for conformity

Gender Development
• Gender — social dimension of being female or male– Gender role: set of expectations prescribing
how females and males should act, feel, and think
– Gender typing: process by which children acquire thoughts, behaviors, and feelings culturally appropriate for their gender
• Sex — designates the biological aspects of being female or male
![Page 11: Psikologi Anak Pertemuan 7 The self, identity, and gender development](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e025503460f94aec314/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Biological Influences
• Chromosomes — 23rd pair with X and Y • Hormones
– Estrogens• Estradiol influences development of female physical
sex characteristics and helps regulate menstrual cycle
– Androgens• Testosterone promotes development of male
genitals and secondary sex characteristics

Evolutionary Psychology View of Gender
• Differing roles in reproduction placed different pressures on males and females
• Key gender differences in sexual attitudes and sexual behaviors
– Males — competition, violence, risk-taking
– Females — parenting effort, selection of successful mate

Social InfluencesDifferences due to social experiences
– Social role theory: gender differences result from contrasting roles of men and women
– Psychoanalytic theory of gender: claims child identifies with same-sex parent by age 5 or 6
• Many disagree, claiming gender learned much earlier (even in absence of same-sex parent)
– Social cognitive theory of gender — gender development results from observation and imitation, use of rewards and punishments for gender-appropriate behaviors
![Page 14: Psikologi Anak Pertemuan 7 The self, identity, and gender development](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e025503460f94aec314/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cognitive Influences• Cognitive development theory of gender
– Children’s gender typing occurs after they think of themselves as boys and girls; gender constancy must be achieved first
– Once consistently conceived as male or female, children prefer activities, objects, and attitudes consistent with this label
• Gender schema theory – Gender typing emerges gradually in gender schemas of
what is culturally gender-appropriate and inappropriate– Gender-typed behavior can occur before children develop
gender constancy– Gender schemas fuel gender typing

Masculinity, Femininity, and Androgyny • Androgyny — presence of masculine and feminine
characteristics in same individual– Bem Sex-Role Inventory:
• Instrumental, expressive traits• Context influencing gender role is adaptive
– Gender-role transcendence — people should be evaluated as persons, not in terms of femininity, masculinity, or androgyny
Bem’s Gender-Role Classification

Gender Development in Childhood
• Children form many ideas about what the sexes are like from about 1½ to 3 years of age
• Boys receive earlier and more intense gender socialization
• Children show clear preference for same-sex peers
• Gender roles becoming more flexible

Gender Development in Adolescence
• Transition point; changes in puberty
• Gender-intensification hypothesis– Psychological and behavioral differences
between boys and girls become greater during early adolescence
– Increased socialization pressures to conform to traditional gender roles
– Mixed messages and special problems
