Abstract: Gender socialization entails learning how to perform the behaviors that are consistent with one’s gender. Gender socialization occurs not only through the acquisition of gender-appropriate behaviors, but also through observing adults in the household, who are role models to children. The study was conducted in Hisar city and two schools were randomly selected from the selected schools. Respondents of class-XIth and class-XIIth were taken. A list of students was prepared from the respective class and from the list a sample of 30 adolescents each from class XIth and XIIth were taken randomly thus making a total sample of 60 adolescents. The parents of these adolescents were also interviewed.

Keywords: Gender, socialization.
