Abstract

This paper uses psychological insight to review the research about gender stereotypes in the secondary school environment. By analyzing research done previously, the researcher seeks to find out the impact of gender stereotypes on adolescent woman’s gender development. There are gender stereotypes from multiple aspects of education, school education, family education and educational environment. This paper presents stereotypes from these all three aspects and seeks to investigate a logical link between gender stereotypes and the characteristic that adolescents show during their gender development using a psychological perspective. The psychology theory used was observational learning and developmental psychology. Observational learning is corresponded to the spreading way of gender stereotypes and its influence to the environment. Developmental Psychology is used to analyse how do gender stereotypes affect female students’ development and self-identification, which is of great importance.
