Gender stereotypes refer to widely held beliefs and assumptions about the traits, behaviors, and roles that are typically associated with men and women. These stereotypes can be both positive and negative, and they often influence how individuals perceive and interact with others based on their gender. Research in this area explores the origins, consequences, and ways to challenge and change these stereotypes to promote more gender equality and inclusivity in society. Studies may examine the impact of gender stereotypes on individuals' self-concept, choices, and opportunities, as well as how these stereotypes are perpetuated and reinforced through media, education, and social norms. Overall, understanding and addressing gender stereotypes is crucial for promoting a more equitable and diverse society.
