The three approaches presented in the article, each of which has its own integrative framework, aid in our understanding of how gender identity develops. The identity status, narrative, and discursive approaches, all of which place emphasis on the process of identity development, are three approaches that present one's integrative framework and help us understand the development of gender identity in the article. Studies that were primarily concerned with the time between infancy and adolescence were included in the book (McLean et al., 2016). In both the article and the book, the main contributing factors for the formation and reinforcement of gender identities were succinctly and clearly explained by offering a variety of studies that investigated gender identities across successive age groups. The studies on gender narratives and gendered roles accurately depicted the process by which social and cultural factors contribute to the formation of an individual's identity. By doing this, we are better able to comprehend how gender identities are conceptualized (McLean et al., 2016). The majority of human behavior is learned through observation, imitation, and modeling, according to Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory. These influences provide a wide range of sources that promote the development of gender-related knowledge, such as family members, peers, or any direct experiences that instruct appropriate behavior relevant to gender. According to Bandura's theory, influences have an impact on cognitions that are initially involved in behavior regulation as well as gender-related development (Gender Role Development, n.d.) There are countless respectful ways to stand in support of a friend who identifies as non- binary, one of which is by using the name they request, their gender identity may no longer be reflected in their previous name. Don't make assumptions about non-binary people's pronoun preferences; some prefer "they," while others prefer "he" or "she", one of the most important ways to respect someone's identity is to use accurate pronouns. Finally, advocacy is crucial for non-binary people to be able to act, speak, and dress in a way that is respectful of all genders in any public setting. For instance, non-binary individuals don't identify as either male or female, so allowing them to use whichever bathroom they feel most secure in demonstrates additional support. ( I am not saying that the last sentence is the greatest form of support) Children have a general sense of their gender identity by the age of three, but the development of gender identity is greatly influenced by emotional intelligence. Due to environmental factors that a child is exposed to, particular structures that they are formed into may be a hindrance to their emotional intelligence. Let’s say, parents examine the feminine behavior that their son is exhibiting when they find that their three-year-old boy experiences greater joy in playing with his sister's toys and dressing up with her, then influence him to more masculine factors like sports, playing with other boys, or even playing in a rougher manner, They are purposefully highlighting the traits of the typical male figure and how he ought to act in accordance with his particular gender roles, so due to the disappointment they feel they may have caused their caregivers, by failing to understand the roles of their own gender identity, this may lead to self- socialization (McLean et al., 2016).
