  2. (2) Gender equality
  3. (3) Gender relatedness
  4. (4) Gender homogeneity

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) Gender typing

  1. Gender typing is the process through which children learn the roles, behaviours and interests their society links with being a boy or a girl.
  2. Family, school, peers and media all take part in it.
  3. Gender equality is a value of equal rights and chances, not a learning process.

Trap: 'gender equality' sounds positive, but the stem asks for the process of becoming aware of roles.
