Abstract:

Children's gender identity is an important part of their socialization, and the relationship between gender identity and children's social adjustment has always attracted much attention. With the deepening of the research, the concepts and measures of gender identity have become richer. At present, researchers have begun to explore gender identity from the perspective of dual identity, examining own-gender group typicality and other-gender group typicality respectively. Regarding the impact of gender identity on children's social adjustment, existing studies have focused on exploring the adjustment outcomes of both self adjustment and interpersonal adjustment. Future research should further explore the relationship between children's implicit and explicit gender identity, the relationship between different types of gender identity and social adjustment, and pay attention to the intervention of social adjustment of children with low own-gender identity.

Key words: own-gender group typicality, other-gender group typicality, social adjustment
