Abstract The Role of Gender in Shaping Social Norms: Insights from Social Science Research" delves into the complex interplay between gender dynamics and the construction of social norms. Drawing from a comprehensive review of social science research, this paper elucidates how gender operates as a fundamental organizing principle in society, influencing the formation, perpetuation, and contestation of norms. By exploring the ways in which gender intersects with factors such as culture, power, and identity, it offers critical insights into the mechanisms through which social norms are produced, maintained, and transformed. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between gender, social norms, and human behavior, with implications for addressing issues of inequality and social change.
