Cultural Gender Socialization of Children: Research Guide

Project Description

Note: You may also consider examining the issue through a historical lens. Have there been shifts  in the cultural or societal views and expectations that have changed the way children are socialized around gender? Are there events  (or movements) that have contributed to or necessitated these shifts?  What is the developmental impact of these changes on children, and on family dynamics (where parents were likely socialized differently from their children)?

Questions to Ask When Doing Research

Research starts with what YOU bring to it. A great question to always begin with is:

  • How do you know what you know?

Some other great questions to come equipped with during research:

  • What information do you trust?
  • What causes you to disagree with a piece of information?
  • What counts as expertise?
  • Who CAN publish on a specific issue?
  • Who CANNOT publish on a specific issue?
  • Whose voice is included/excluded?
  • What information is trusted by society?

These are not the only questions to ask when doing research but it is important that you learn to keep these questions handy so you start to understand how you interact with information.
