ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

“ Every good work is the handiwork of several people. It is a fruit of the combined effort of
many people. ”

In my case, I received a great deal of help from my Psychology teacher, ‘Ms. Dikshita Taragi’
who with her lucid and appropriate instructions made this work a success. I thank her for
bestowing on me this wonderful opportunity of conducting research on
“_______________________________________________” .

Besides, it is also due to the continuous guidance from my guardians and friends that I've been
able to complete the project successfully.
I’d like to extend my gratitude towards all the participants.

EXAMPLE :-
Although much evidence suggests that gender stereotyping becomes less flexible during
adolescence, results of the present study indicate that gender stereotypes may actually become
more flexible at some point during certain adolescent school transitions. The authors
measured the flexibility of gender stereotypes in adolescents in Grades 4 through 11, using a
combined
cross-sectional and longitudinal design. Results indicated that flexibility increased for
stereotypes concerning the psychological attributes of men and women after the transition into
junior high school, regardless of whether this transition occurred during the 7th or 8th grade.
Over the remaining years of junior high and high school, stereotype flexibility decreased. These
results help resolve previous inconsistencies found in the literature by suggesting when and why
changes in gender stereotype flexibility versus rigidity occur during adolescence. (Alfieri, T.,
Ruble, D. N., & Higgins, E. T. (1996). Gender stereotypes during adolescence:

DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

HERE YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOUR FINDINGS STEP BY STEP.

BASICALLY EXPLAIN THE GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE DATA OBTAINED
THROUGH THE SURVEY.

With the responses received, the following conclusions can be drawn :

● From the results obtained, we can clearly conclude that where on one hand gender
stereotypes affect the adolescents’ behaviour and cognitions, on the other hand we
see that this trend is declining.
● Most adolescents agree that for better child development, it’s not necessary for
the mother rather than father to look after the child.
● Most of them either disagree or take a neutral stance when talking of masculine
superiority in case of physical strength.
● Financially speaking, participants feel that both genders are equally capable of handling
money matters.
● However, according to them professions like teacher, makeup artist, dancer and
psychologist are more linked with women as compared to cab driver, soldier, scientist
and pilot.
● Most of them agreed with the saying that boys don't cry.
● Majority of participants don't attach specific colours with certain genders and remain
neutral.
● Majority of them believe that the body shape of a girl doesn't define her beauty.
● Most of them strongly disagree that women should indulge in housework and men should
go out to work.
● The stereotypes related to subject preferences were also not supported by the
targeted audience. According to them, gender has no such specific role to play in the
subject preferences. It is totally subjective to an individual.
● However, most of them feel that their behaviour, cognitions and decisions at some
point of time have been influenced / affected by these gender stereotypes.

Therefore we can say that the hypothesis “Gender stereotypes don't have a prominent impact
on the mindset of adolescents' behaviour and cognitions” has been verified. Adolescents have
flexible thinking, they start thinking rationally and morally and don’t conform to social
standards.

ASER 2020 and 2021 brought to light a dismal picture of access to technology based
learning resources. Girls faced competing demands due to financial stress and decreased
requirement of care work at home. Even in 2017, ASER had reported that almost 90%
of female youth aged 14 - 18 did housework on a daily basis, compared to three - fourth
of male youth.
