SLIDE 15: RONJA: Our resarch question was when the gender differences in emotional expressivity start. Near the natal age or later?
Our hypotheses are:
 The capacity for self-regulation may be at the base of gender differences in infant emotional expressivity.
 Males have a more limited capacity for self-regulation than girls.
 Females show more interest and object exploration than male infants.
 These gender differences in emotional expressivity and self regulation affect the regulatory demands of mothers and her child.
 The gender differences start very early in the infant’s life.
 SLIDE 16: RONJA: The parental feedback is important both for male and female infants. Greater parental feedback in order to help increase the baby’s emotional expressivity.
 Where his/her parent takes greater attention for baby’s feedback during regulation, the infants would be calm.
 Girls emotional expressivity is stronger than boys.
 When the baby has been in an unstressed environment, it increases his/her concentrate ability.

Although some inherent distinctions between the sexes exist, Orenstein mentions Eliot’s findings on neuroplasticity to suggest that nurture supersedes nature in determining a child’s behavior. A child is most impressionable during the earliest stages of life, when his or her brain is still developing. That is why learning various concepts such as language, for example, is most easily acquired before the age of puberty. Thus, an individual’s upbringing is fundamental in the development of traits and therefore, gender

Burak defines gender socialization as “the process of interaction through which we learn the gender norms of our culture and acquire a sense of ourselves as feminine, masculine, or even androgynous” (Burack, 1). According to Burack, people of different genders behave differently not due to biological factors, but due to socialization that teaches individuals to behave in a particular way in order to belong to a certain gender. For example, women may tend to be nurturing, not because they are biologically programed to be caretakers, but as a result of society teaching them through toys and media to act as mothers. In this way, gender becomes a performance based on expectations rather than natural behaviors or biology, a phenomenon called “doing

The viewer is left with the question: Is it possible to raise a child without gender stereotypes? “The Pinks and the Blues” states that gendered treatment of children begins within 24 hours of the child’s birth.

Unlike ‘sex’, which typically refers to the biological and physiological differences, gender is a sociological concept that describes the social and cultural constructions that is associated with one’s sex (Giddens & Sutton, 2013, p. 623-667). The constructed (or invented) characteristics that defines gender is an ongoing process that varies between societies and culture and it can change over time.
