Answer 1

Answer:

The example that best illustrates gender schema theory is:

d. When Marcie says, "Let's play with trucks," her friends make fun of her.

Explanation:

Gender Schema Theory:

This theory states that children get the information about the gender roles like male and female through the society and surroundings they are living in. Similarly, they tend to attain these roles according to their gender.

Example:

In different countries, women are considered to remain in homes and cook food. This role of women is determined by the society.

• In this question, when Marcie asked her friend to play with trucks then her friend made fun of her as her friend believed that boys generally play with truck not girls.
