List of gender stereotypes

In the society exist a lot of stereotypes for men and woman. Because the people want the perfect person to the perfect couple.

The way to dress have to be formal, to look most seriously, but in the same time, look good.

The man have to work in a office, to mantein the home, the work is part of the stereotypes, because the mando have to work in some male.

In my opinión the people have to show the society the reality of their person.

Stereotypes of man and ideal woman are simply features created by companies beauty and fashion, but what people do not know is that these companies use programs to remove the typical and natural features as "imperfect" which raises the expectations and removes own user acceptance.

Multitasking Men Vs Women

It is said that women are efficient ma men to do many tasks at the same time, perhaps by the time it takes is doing activities which appeared this stereotype. However it is not entirely a lie, women have shown great skill in many activities simultaneously especially at home, where women usually sweep the house, cook, wash clothes and can do everything at the same time, to have time to care for their children.

Instead the man who is usually the one who works, has only one activity in their work exception working in an office which would have many other activities to do but taking into account that women have more activities that men could conclude He is saying that sometimes women can be more multi-tasking than men.

Multitasking

Multitasking sometimes can be more difficult when these tasks are similar, but a little easier if they are different . An example would be talking on the phone and write an email is difficult because they involve similar thought processes in order to generate meaningful sentences , talking while playing the piano is not so difficult. but people do not have these problems multitasking and belong to 2% of the population

Reasons to stop multitasking

in our live, we have to do a lot of works, in the majority when we are adults.
According to the popularity of the society, multitasking will be most effective to do some works on the same time.

This is a lie, multitasking will be bad to realize the works that you have to do.

Maybe you think that make two works ik the same time should be faster, but  a lot of people ssy that this will pass in a longer time.

Also can exist the posibility of do in a bad way the work, because we are not focus in only one thing.

This can generate a lot of stress because we have our mind so tire.

The recomendation is try to do our works with time, focus in each think to realize them in the best way, this will be good to us and for our mind.

Multitasking

Some of us thinks that multitasking is a way to do some things in a short time and approach the time with something else, it is true but if a person look for all the points of view, that is incorrect, the people can make everything in a short time but they can’t do it efficiently, so we can’t have a really good solution about it, some of us need a lot of time. And in the future if we continue doing this, we would have some health problems

Perfect Couple

Have you ever felt that the stereotype of the society and the members of it, makes you change your mind with a bad thinking? That is something that is happening Now a days as the society says that men have to work everyday and women have to clean the house and wait for her husband without refuting about what he is doing, and the activities that he realize every single day; that is the perfect couple that the society consider correct because of the time that it has been continuously remaining by the parents and friends, in the mind of every single couple. On the other hand we have the couples that avoid the thinking of the society, it’s true that sometimes they are hated because of avoid the stereotype, but the results are really good because both of them can express themselves about what they want and how they can change something, helping each other and try to change the stereotype of the society that in the most of the cases makes the relationship breaks up. 

Reinoso, A. (2016)

Women 'better at multitasking' than men, study finds

Men were slower and less organised than women when switching rapidly between tasks in tests by UK psychologists.

Both sexes struggled to cope with juggling priorities, but men suffered more on average, according to the paper in the journal BMC Psychology.

It says: "The question now is why? And is it all types of multitasking or only certain situations?"

The researchers hope to encourage more research on a topic which they say has attracted "astonishingly few" studies - considering how often the "women vs men" debate crops up in conversation.

If men really are slower than women, it could have serious implications for how workplaces are organised, says co-author Dr Gijsbert Stoet, of the University of Glasgow.

"Multitasking is getting more and more important in the office - but it's very distracting, all these gadgets interrupting our workflow.

"It could be that men suffer more from this constant switching," he told BBC News.

Previous studies on gender and multitasking have drawn widely different conclusions.

Glitch Art: The “perfect” woman does not exist

Too fat? Big nose? Frizzy fair? Lips too small? Hips too wide? Unfortunately, in our culture looks matter. We see models who look too perfect. Why? Because they’re not actually real.

Most models are Photoshopped in some way. They’re shown in advertisements, not in their natural form, but edited to where the shape of their body is actually changed to look thinner, or have bigger lips, and other things like that. If you look at photos of before and after Photoshopped advertisements, that are revealed like this one:

Even small changes like shown above, make women feel insecure. Allowing us to think these women presented in magazines have no imperfections themselves, which even further leads the common woman to believe she shouldn’t have any either. One Dove advertisement, eight years ago, revealed to many what really happens to some photos in advertisements. The video goes through one models photo shoot. When the photo is chosen the editor elongates her neck, makes her lips and eyes bigger, and makes her jaw lines more pronounced. This happens to photographs of models constantly.

List of Gender Stereotypes

Simply put, gender stereotypes are generalizations about the roles of each gender. Gender roles are generally neither positive nor negative; they are simply inaccurate generalizations of the male and female attributes. Since each person has individual desires, thoughts, and feelings, regardless of their gender, these stereotypes are incredibly simplistic and do not at all describe the attributes of every person of each gender.

While most people realize that stereotypes are untrue, many still make assumptions based on gender. There are many stereotypes we may all be guilty of, such as assuming that all women want to marry and have children, or that all men love sports. The following is a list of some of the most common gender stereotypes as they pertain to either men or women. Remember that these are stereotypes because they claim to apply to all men or women.

Female Gender Stereotypes

Gender stereotypes begin the second a baby’s gender is found out. As soon as we find out it’s a girl, we immediately begin decorating a pink nursery filled with soft décor and butterflies and flowers. We assume that our daughter will be very "girly" and fill her closet with frilly dresses and her toy box with tea sets and dolls. What this is essentially doing, even though many parents don’t realize it, is setting our child up to be the "perfect lady," and teaching her how to be the stereotypical woman. We are teaching her that girls are supposed to wear dresses, serve food, and take care of babies; the biggest and most common stereotype put on women.

Multitasking and Stress

By Chris Woolston, M.S.

In this high-tech, high-pressure age, multitasking has become a national pastime. No matter where we are or what we're doing, we can always add one more ball to the juggling act. Many people regularly check emails on their Blackberry while talking on the cell phone, pausing only to yell at other drivers.

"Because of all of the new electronic gadgets like cell phones, Palm Pilots, and other personal digital assistants, multitasking has exploded, says David Meyer, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan.

Doing several tasks simultaneously may seem like the height of efficiency -- and it would be, if a person had more than one brain. In the real world, multitasking actually wastes time and reduces work quality, Meyer says.

Missed deadlines and shoddy work may get a person fired, but they're not the most worrisome consequence of multitasking. According to Meyer, juggling tasks can be very stressful. In the short term, stress makes you feel lousy. In the long term, it can become a serious threat to health -- and that's not even counting the dangers of sending a fax while changing lanes.

One brain, one task

Meyer sees three major types of multitaskers. Some people do it out of desperation. In their minds, talking to a client while doing research on the Internet is the only way to keep up. Other people multitask impulsively. They'll abandon a report in mid-sentence to check email without thinking about the consequences. The third group multitasks with pride. "Many people delusionally believe that they're good at this," he says.

Some people's jobs, like air traffic controllers and emergency room doctors and nurses, virtually demand multitasking under pressure. But in reality, nobody can effectively do more than one remotely complicated thing at a time. "The brain is not equipped to do heavy-duty multitasking," Meyer says. "People are being asked to do multiple things, but they would need superhuman abilities."

Multitasking is especially futile if the different activities use the same part of the brain, Meyer says. For example, the brain only has one language channel. If a person tries to read while talking, one or both tasks will get short shrift.

12 Reasons to Stop Multitasking Now!

What you call multitasking is really task-switching, says Guy Winch, PhD, author of Emotional First Aid: Practical Strategies for Treating Failure, Rejection, Guilt and Other Everyday Psychological Injuries. “When it comes to attention and productivity, our brains have a finite amount,” he says. 

“It’s like a pie chart, and whatever we’re working on is going to take up the majority of that pie. There’s not a lot left over for other things, with the exception of automatic behaviors like walking or chewing gum.” Moving back and forth between several tasks actually wastes productivity, he says, because your attention is expended on the act of switching gears—plus, you never get fully “in the zone” for either activity.

Why Your Brain likes it when you multi-task

In psychology the monochronic assumption is the idea that it’s always better to complete one task before you start on the next. In research conducted over several decades, Allen Bluedorn has found that, unsurprisingly, it’s a matter of personal preference. Some people favour monochronicity and feel happier completing one task before they start the next. Others are polychronic and perform better when they are doing lots of things at once, and can excel in jobs which require them to do just that.

Running a busy cafe would be a good example – though this doesn’t mean they necessarily get the jobs done faster. In a cafe there’s no option but to jump from task to task.

The research on compulsory multi-tasking is at first sight discouraging. Multi-tasking has a bad name. Some studies give people two tasks to complete simultaneously. In others multi-tasking means switching backwards and forwards between different tasks until they’re done. So you’re not actually doing them at the same time, but within the same block of time, something that often happens at work.

Perfect Wife in 1950s

But what women in the 1950s were expected to do for their husbands? Well, those traditions have certainly flown right out the window!

In May of 1955, Housekeeping Monthly published an article entitled, “The Good Wife’s Guide,” detailing all the ways that a wife should act and how best she can be a partner to her husband and a mother to her children.

It may feel a little strange to accept these rules today, but it remains so interesting to see how society once behaved.

Scroll further to see what rules mothers and housewives once had to follow, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

1.) Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs.

2.) Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.

3.) Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

4.) Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

Perfect Couple

So much for equality! Couples are more likely to divorce if the husband does half the domestic chores 

Study finds couples who split housework 50/50 are 50 per cent more likely to break up 

Experts say 'modern' couples who share housework have less respect for marriage.

Attention married men, here’s the perfect excuse to put your feet up – sharing housework can lead to divorce.

Research has suggested that the more chores a man does, the more likely the couple will split.

The survey of couples found that while most were happy to share childcare, the women still did the lion’s share of the housework most of the time.

Domestic bliss? Research suggests divorce rates are higher among couple where men share housework

And in 11 per cent of cases, the women did almost all of it.

When the man finally did do his bit, things seemed to go wrong.

The divorce rate among those who shared chores equally was about 50 per cent higher than among those where the woman did most of it, the study by the Norwegian government found.

Equality: Research suggests the more a man helps out at home the more likely the couple will split

‘You can easily get into squabbles if both have the same roles and one has the feeling that the other is not pulling their weight.’

However, the reason for survey’s results could lie in modern attitudes towards marriage.

Sociologist Dr Frank Furedi said chore-sharing tends to take place among professional couples, where divorce rates are high.

Their more formal, ‘contractual’-style attitude towards marriage can make for a fraught relationship, he added.
