Gender Stereotypes. Gender stereotypes are simplistic generalizations about the gender attributes, differences, and roles of individuals and/or groups. Stereotypes can be positive or negative, but they rarely communicate accurate information about others.
Gender identity refers to âoneâs sense of oneself as male, female, or transgenderâ (American Psychological Association, 2006). When oneâs gender identity and biological sex are not congruent, the individual may identify as transsexual or as another transgender category (cf. Gainor, 2000).
