Raina is celebrating her fifth birthday. When she receives a toolset as a gift, she responds, "Gross! Tools are for boys!" What is MOST likely true about Raina’s reaction?
Raina’s genetics have always dictated that she would hate tools.
Tools are 'gross' to girls and boys because they believe tools are for adults.
Raina has been raised to believe that tools are more appropriate for boys.

Raina has been raised to believe that tools are more appropriate for boys.
Explanation: By age five children have already internalized cultural gender roles from parents, peers, media, and reinforcement. Her reaction reflects learned gender stereotyping (socialization/modeling), not innate genetics or a lack of gender understanding.
