THE INFLUENCE OF GENDER DIFFERENCES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY

Abstract

Gender is an important factor determining the social and cultural roles of a person.
Research on the sexual and mental characteristics of a person has become one of the most relevant
issues in recent years. The article analyzes the main studies that examined gender differences in
the psychology of men and women. An analysis of foreign and domestic studies that examined the
differences in the psychology, behavior and cognitive abilities of men and women was made.
Gender differences indicate that there is a clear connection between mental, personal and
existential aspects that require research. Gender roles, family upbringing, the education system
and stereotypes in society contribute to the self-perception of a person, the disclosure of abilities
and the process of socialization. The article pays special attention to the need to overcome gender
stereotypes and provide fair education. The impact of gender differences on personality
development is one of the topics currently being studied.
