Question

The expectation that women will be emotionally supportive is an example of sociology

Answer 1

The expectation that women will be emotionally supportive is an example of "expressive role".

A woman's role in the family is an 'expressive role'. That means that a lady's familial part is to give mind, love, love, security and all the fundamental passionate help a relative may require. As opposed to men who have an 'instrumental role' as the provider or earning member of the family.
