Question

What is the difference between a person's gender, gender identity, gender roles, and gender typing? How do biology, environment, and culture play a factor in this development?

Answer 1

Gender identity and gender role. ... For example, if a person considers himself a male and is most comfortable referring to his personal gender in masculine terms, then his gender identity is male. However, his gender role is male only if he demonstrates typically male characteristics in behavior, dress, and/or mannerisms.
