What are the Differences and Similarities in Male and Female Adulthood Development?
Jen ♡
@jenniferkate
Physical Aspects of Gender Roles
This page discusses the physical similarities and differences between adolescence and middle adulthood in relation to gender roles. Both life stages are affected by gender stereotypes, particularly regarding body image. However, there are significant biological differences, especially for females.
Example: In both adolescence and middle adulthood, females often aspire to be thin, while males typically desire a muscular physique, illustrating the persistence of gender-based body ideals.
Highlight: A key biological difference is that females begin menstruation in adolescence, while in middle adulthood, they experience menopause, marking the end of their reproductive years.
The Gender intensification hypothesis is evident in how physical appearance expectations intensify during adolescence and continue to influence individuals into middle adulthood. These expectations can have lasting effects on self-esteem and body image throughout life.
Intellectual Aspects of Gender Roles
This page explores how gender roles influence intellectual development and career choices in both adolescence and middle adulthood. The similarity between these life stages lies in how career paths are shaped by gender stereotypes and societal expectations.
Example: In middle adulthood, career advancement and job choices are often influenced by gender stereotypes. Similarly, adolescents tend to select GCSEs and future career paths based on gender roles and expectations.
The Gender differences in adolescent development become particularly apparent in educational and career choices. This phenomenon continues into middle adulthood, potentially limiting opportunities and perpetuating gender-based occupational segregation.
Vocabulary: GCSEs are academic qualifications in specific subjects typically taken by students aged 14-16 in the United Kingdom.
Emotional Aspects of Gender Roles
This page addresses the emotional similarities between adolescence and middle adulthood in terms of gender roles. Both life stages are characterized by societal expectations regarding emotional expression based on gender.
Quote: "Males are told not to cry whereas it is common for females to show emotions."
This quote highlights the persistent gender stereotype that emotional expression is more acceptable for females than males. The phrase "man up" is often used to discourage males from showing vulnerability, reinforcing harmful gender norms.
The Effects of gender stereotyping in the society are evident in how emotional expression is policed differently for males and females. This can lead to emotional suppression in males and the perception of females as overly emotional or weak, impacting mental health and interpersonal relationships.
Social Aspects of Gender Roles
This page discusses the social similarities and differences between adolescence and middle adulthood in relation to gender roles. It highlights how gender influences friendship patterns and the nature of relationships across these life stages.
Highlight: In both adolescence and middle adulthood, individuals tend to form closer friendships with those of the same gender.
A notable difference between these life stages is the presence of formal relationships in middle adulthood, particularly in professional settings. Adolescents typically lack these formal relationships due to their limited work experience.
The Gender roles and relations established in adolescence often persist into middle adulthood, influencing social interactions and relationship dynamics. This continuity demonstrates the long-lasting impact of gender socialization on an individual's social life and professional interactions.
Similarities and Differences Between Adolescence and Middle Adulthood - Gender Roles
This page introduces the topic of gender roles and their impact on development during adolescence and middle adulthood in the context of health and social care. The focus is on comparing and contrasting these two life stages across various aspects of human development.
Highlight: The study of gender roles across different life stages is crucial for understanding human development and societal expectations.
Definition: Gender roles refer to the societal norms and expectations associated with being male or female, which can significantly influence an individual's behavior, choices, and opportunities throughout their life.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
