Gender Roles, Relationships, and Health.
Gender Roles are cultural preconceived notions about men and women in which they are expected to act and behave certain ways depending on their gender. There are many emotional and physical characteristics of gender roles in the US. For example emotionally men are expected to act strong and not show too much emotion, while women are expected to be caring and full of emotions. Physically men are expected to go out and work in fields like construction, the militaries, or be a fire fighter, while women were expected to either stay home and take care of the family or get jobs like secretaries or nurses.

People who can successfully show masculine and feminine traits are said to be psychologically androgyny. They are different from other personality traits, like someone who just shows masculine or feminine characteristics or a person who is undifferentiated which is the opposite. Undifferentiated is someone who doesn't really excel in either masculine or feminine traits. People who show psychological androgyny are usually well adjusted because they can use either of their traits to their advantage depending on the situation. They can also increase their development in a wider range of subjects because they are comfortable with them.
