Which statement about parental roles is accurate?
  1. Parental roles are primarily instinctual and natural.
  2. Parental roles in the U.S. have not changed for decades.
  3. Parental roles are exclusively dictated by gender.
  4. Parental roles are learned through the socialization process.
Explanation
Answer: D - Parental roles are learned through the socialization process. They are not instinctual. Parental roles are changing in our nation because of several factors including the economy and increasing opportunities for women in the workplace. For example, fathers are staying at home to raise the children more than they ever have before; and gay/lesbian families do not have gender-specific roles.
