Answer: Gender Schema Theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Gender Schema Theory postulates that gender typing occurs when children develop an understanding of what their culture considers gender-appropriate and gender-inappropriate behavior.

For example, in most West African country, culture considers cooking as the role of the female gender while hunting in the role of the male gender.
