Issues of stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination are common areas of study within social psychology. The area of gender role stereotypes, in particular, has received considerable amounts of attention over the recent decades.

- A summary of each study and its results
- The implications of the study in regards to gender stereotypes (i.e., what stereotypes were found or not found)
- Discuss how gender stereotypes changed over the past 30 years.
Include references for at least 3 sources in your paper. Use in-text citations and a reference list according to APA style guidelines.
Gender Stereotyping
Long ago in the United States of America, individuals believed that women were always associated with taking care of the family. In the nation, women were entitled to the health care of the entire family (“Gender Roles In American Society: An Observation,” 2017). For instance, they prepared food and took care of the children when their husbands went on to work for a living. The study found that women were less developed than men because of the gender role difference.
