Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes how children are steered toward different types of toys based on their sex: boys receive trucks, sporting equipment, and action toys, while girls receive stuffed animals and more passive gifts. This reflects the process by which society teaches and reinforces gender roles through everyday choices and cultural expectations.
Option 1: gender socialization. This option directly captures the idea that gender norms are learned through social interaction and cultural cues, such as the types of toys deemed appropriate for boys versus girls.
Option 2: resocialization. This would involve a person being taught to abandon old norms and adopt new ones, which is not what is happening with typical toy segmentation for children today.
Option 3: gender tracking. This term usually refers to educational or occupational tracking based on gender, not the broader conveyance of gender-typed preferences via toy selection.
Option 4: the hidden curriculum. While the hidden curriculum includes unspoken lessons about norms within a school setting, the specific example about toy choices is more directly about socialization processes rather than implicit classroom messages.
