• Prenatally and during puberty• High amount of androgen linked with preference for “boy” toys. • Testosterone is linked with aggression, spatial ability, eye contact
and libido. • Estrogen is linked with communication, caring social bx
2. Brain anatomy/structure• more white matter in male brains (on average)• more connectors between hemispheres (corpus callosum) in girls.
3. Brain functioning• Activation in more areas of female brains in emotion provoking
situations• The E-S model (Baron-Cohen)
• Empathizing brain-44% of females, 17% of males• Systemizing brain-54% of males, 17% of females• Balanced brain-39% of females, 29% of males

Social Learning and Social Role Theories
• What are the consequences for conforming or not conforming to the social expectations?
• What influences whether we learn through social learning?– Power and status of the role model– Consequences experienced– Identification with the model

are shopping for a “character” sleeping bag for the 3 year old. He is looking at a pink Lion King bag and a black Batman bag, obviously struggling to choose between the two. The 6 year old says, “get the Batman one…pink is for girls.”

Cognitive-behavioral theory-fig. 3.4 How does he
choose?
• Encodings: Schemas about the people involved and the situation.
• Expectancies: what happens if go I along with my brother? How will mom respond? How will dad respond?
• Affects: excitement, belonging, fear, worry.• Goals/values: Whose approval is more important?
Do I want to “be my own man?”• Cognitive competencies: Can I justify my choice? • Self-regulatory plans: Can I decide what to do as
opposed to just react?
