Human Growth and Development CLEP Prep Practice Exam

At which age does a child begin to identify themselves by gender?

1. 5-7 years

2. 3-5 years

3. 2-3 years

4. 0-2 years

The correct answer is: 3-5 years

Children typically begin to develop a sense of gender identity around the age of 3-5 years. At this stage, they are able to understand and categorize different gender roles and behaviors. Options A, C, and D are all incorrect because they either fall outside of this age range or are too specific in their age range. It is important to note that gender identity may continue to develop and evolve for children beyond this age range.
