evaluation

• KOHLBER's theory is it predicts only when children reach gender constancy that they seek out gender specific role models

  • SLT - BANDURA's study demonstrated that children observe and imitate same sex role model's behaviour from 3 years old
• KOHLBERG'S theory doesn't consider the impact that chromosomes and hormones have on our gender-related behaviour

  • research suggests that masculine or feminine behaviour are mor influences by the hormones testosterone and oestrogen
  • suggesting that cognition alone cannot account for all the aspects of gender-associated behaviour
