Gender socialization is the process by which norms and expectations related to gender are learned. It begins at a young age through various channels like family, media, and school. Families socialize children to different gender roles through manipulation, verbal appellation, and exposing children to gender-appropriate activities. Schools also socialize children to gender through instructional language, classroom management that separates boys and girls, and instructional materials that portray gender norms. Gender socialization influences the social roles, capacities, and traits that a culture associates with each gender.
