An abundance of research has demonstrated the important influences of parental gender beliefs and socialization practices on children's gender-typed beliefs, behaviors and academic outcomes; however, few studies have examined the longitudinal influence of parental gender beliefs and parenting practices on children's development and almost none have examined the dynamic nature of parental gender beliefs. Leveraging data from a multi-cohort 10-year longitudinal study from Nanjing, China, this dissertation explores the dynamic and longitudinal processes of maternal gender socialization.The first study examined the changes in maternal gender beliefs as children develop and as social contexts shift. I first compared 35 mothers' interviews about their gender beliefs and expectations for their sons and daughters when their children were 14 months old and 10 years old. Results suggest that, as children approach adolescence, mothers had a strong increase in expectations for sons' independence and competence but for girls, even though mothers had high aspirations for girls' independence and competence, the put more restrictions on girls' autonomous exploration due to safety concerns. To examine how mothers' gender beliefs change as the society changes, I compared narratives from two cohorts of mothers who had similar age children but were interviewed 9 years apart: Cohort 1 (n=52) mothers of 12 years old children were interviewed in 2006-2007 and Cohort 2 (n=35) mothers of 10 years old children were interviewed in 2016. Findings show that, mothers in 2007 were more likely to endorse gender differences, boys' physical toughness and girls' independence. In general, this study demonstrates the dynamic nature of maternal gender beliefs, with overall diverging expectations for boys and girls over developmental and contextual times.The second study of this dissertation explores the longitudinal effect of parental gender beliefs and caregiving practices on children's adherence to masculinity norms. I used the maternal caregiving sensitivity and both parents' endorsement of traditional gender role beliefs assessed during child's infancy to predict children's self-report masculine behaviors at 10 years old. Results indicate that, while parental gender beliefs did not show any effects, higher level of maternal caregiving sensitivity was robustly associated with children's lower adherence to masculinity 8 years later. Moreover, the effects were stronger for boys than for girls. This study suggests that, masculine behaviors may be developed to function as a protective mechanism for individuals, especially for boys, to cope with their unmet needs for emotional support.Jointly, these two longitudinal studies demonstrate how contexts, shaped by power, time and culture, could influence the goals, processes and outcomes of parental gender socialization.
