Abstract
The concepts of traditional and nontraditional gender roles in Western culture, the impact of family of origin on gender role development, and different developmental theories of gender role identification are reviewed. In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of gender role identification, the Cognitive-Active Gender Role Identification Continuum model is introduced. This model aids in the understanding of differences between cognitions and actions and levels of flexibility and rigidity that may be displayed in individuals in regard to gender roles. This model may be beneficial in understanding conflicts pertaining to gender role differences in a therapeutic setting with couples and families.
