What is the significance of interference of messages from different environments (family, school, peer group) for the formation of a child's gender identity?Finally I emphasize the importance of both the narrative and dialogical character of education as a process of conscious influence on the formation of the child's ideas about gender roles (communicative knowledge), but also the broader impact of socialization processes, including intergenerational transmission (knowledge/conjuctive experience).
