Answer:

gender-normative

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is related to the topic on "gender," particularly on its psychological and behavioral sense such as the "femininity" or "masculinity" of an individual and how he/she conforms to it.

Children learn to associate themselves with a specific gender as early as 18 months old. Three-year old Max's identity of himself as a boy is congruent to his gender as a male; thus, this is called "gender-normative." Such behavior is expected in the society because he is following the ideals of being a male.
