ROCHA SANCHEZ, Tania Esmeralda. Development of gender role identity in psycho-socio-cultural perspective: a conceptual path. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.2, pp. 250-259. ISSN 0034-9690.

Building gender role identity (i.e. such identity that picks the musts of being a man or a woman), is a complex process involving biological, social, cultural and psychosocial factors. There are different theoretical models that try to conceptualize ways people develop a personal sense of themselves since childhood, but there have been difficulties in this conceptualization and in a great way such approaches only emphasize a particular dimension in gender role identity leaving outside its complexity and multifactorial nature. In this work my purpose is to deliver a general grid of this gender role identity theoretical conception from the psychological perspective, as well as offering a general landscape about the configuring elements of its individual development and its social development using relevant empirical research in the Mexican cultural context.

Palavras-chave : Gender role identity; Multifactorial theory; Mexican culture.
