Abstract

This article examines the impact of the education system, family environment, and gender stereotypes on the formation of adolescents’ gender identity. The study revealed that parent-child communication, school environment, and socially established gender norms significantly influence this process. A survey was conducted with 100 adolescents and their parents to analyze the influence of education and family on gender identity formation. Empirical data on the impact of gender stereotypes on personal identity are presented, along with recommendations for reducing these stereotypes.
