    Gender typing and stereotyping occurs when people are categorized based on traits associated with their gender. While cultural differences exist, women are often viewed as sensitive, weak and dependent across cultures, while men are seen as adventurous and determined. The terms gender and sex are sometimes used interchangeably, but gender is preferred in social sciences to emphasize the social and psychological aspects rather than just the biological differences denoted by sex.

    Lesson 14
    GENDER TYPING AND STEREOTYPING
    Sex-Typing
    Sex-typing is process of categorizing men and women on the bases of some traits . Despite of
    cultural differences we find some similarities in traits. For example women are thought to be
    sensitive, weak, dependent and men are associated with the traits of adventurous and determined
    in most of the cultures.

    The term gender and sex are used interchangeably. The word sex gives biological affect whereas
    social scientists prefer to use term gender because of its socio-psychological connotation.
