Question 1

Define the following 
-Identification

Accepted Answer

Identification is an unconscious process in which children learn gendered expectations by modeling their behavior after important people in their lives.Usually identification occurs with the mother initially.Girls tend to continue to identify with mothers and boys tend to separate from their mothers around age three.

Question 2

Define ego boundaries and explain how they typically develop in masculine and feminine people,noting both similarities and differences in development.

Accepted Answer

Ego boundaries are the point at which an individual stops and the rest of the world (and other people)begins.They distinguish the self from others and others' concerns and lives.Generally,feminine people (often women)have more thin,or permeable,ego boundaries than masculine people (often men),due to feminine socialization that does not emphasize differentiation between the self and the mother.Generally,masculine people's ego boundaries are thicker,or more rigid,than those of feminine people,due to masculine socialization that rigidly distinguishes between the self and the mother.Those with thin ego boundaries typically empathize and identify more with others and experience the feelings of intimates more as their own than those with thick ego boundaries do.People with rigid ego boundaries generally feel less responsible for others than those with permeable boundaries,although this should not suggest that masculine people do not care about others and want to help them with problems.
