ABSTRACT. The work raises the issue of gender stereotypes, which reflect the peculiarities of people’s perception of representatives of their own and other gender groups. The stereotype exaggerates gender differences, which are not actually stable characteristics of individual personalities.

The appearance of gender stereotypes is due to the fact that the model of gender relations was historically built in such a way that gender differences prevailed over individual, qualitative differences in the personality of men and women.

The gender ideology of traditional society cultivates the principle of mutual complementarity of gender in the field of division of labor between men and women. Gender roles, which are types of social roles, are normative and reveal certain social expectations regarding the behavior patterns, relationships, and activities appropriate to men and women, which collectively act as external manifestations of the gender roles.

It was determined that cadet youth have specific social and psychological features, subject qualities, special roles and functions in the development of modern society. This point of view also applies to the gender order of society, the transformation of gender standards and stereotypes.

The results of studies of gender stereotypes of cadet youth indicate contradictions and diffusion in the formation of gender identity of youth. Both girls and boys show a low attachment to traditional gender stereotypes. The gradual transformation of the latter in the direction of «smoothing out» of their former polarity can be traced.

So, according to the results of the survey, we can state that in the conditions of modern society, a new type of personality is being formed – androgynous, in which the essential features of both masculine and feminine types are presented on a parity basis.

Thus, it was found that cadet youth are the most experienced and progressive part of population than older one, that is, they are least likely to be influenced by gender stereotypes.

Keywords: stereotypes, gender stereotyping, masculinity, femininity, gender identity, androgyny.
