Question:

What are some social psychological explanations for gender dysphoria?

Author: Sultani vi Brittania



Answer:

If the child is rewarded by the parent for cross-gendered behaviour, they'll be more likely to repeat cross gendered behaviour(positive reinforcement) eventually developing gender dysphoria. Social learning theorists agree and add that children who observe non-gender conforming role models being rewarded will be more likely to do cross gendered behaviour through vicarious reinforcement in hopes they'll also be rewarded. Also cross gender behaviour is more likely if there are few same-sex models available.
