18. SUMMARY The term gender role was first used by John Money and colleagues in 1954, during the course of his study of inter sex individuals, to describe the manners in which these individuals expressed that they were male or female even though no clear biological assignment existed. Gender roles influence a wide range of human behavior, often including the clothing a person chooses, the profession a person pursues and the personal relationships a person enters.
