Changes in Adolescence and Adulthood

Although gender-typed preferences and interests are evident in childhood, many boys and girls participate in activities for both genders. In adolescence, however, gender intensification is observed. With the onset of puberty, young people shift toward more typical gender-typed patterns of behavior (Larson & Richards, 1994; McHale et al., 2004). In one study, tomboyish girls reported that at about age 12 they began to adopt more traditionally feminine interests and behaviors owing to pressures from their parents and peers and to their own increasing interest in romantic relationships (Burn et al., 1996). Other researchers observed that, during adolescence, consistent with gender stereotypes, girls became more involved in caring for others and boys less so (Aubé et al., 2000), girls became more emotionally expressive and boys more emotionally restricted (Polce-Lynch et al., 2001), and girls but not boys develop more sad symptoms (Ge et al., 2001). Recently researchers have found less evidence of gender intensification, suggesting that adolescents today may feel less constrained by gender stereotypes than they did in earlier decades (Priess et al., 2009; Priess & Lindberg, 2015). Nevertheless, social-emotional differences between males and females are particularly salient in adolescence; for example, adolescent girls are more involved in emotional, personal events than adolescent boys.
