description This systematic literature review paper highlights the definitions, dimensions, and various outcomes associated with the changing gender stereotypes. Using PRISMA article selection guidelines, Sixty articles were selected that were published during the 1970-2020 period in Scopus and LENS.ORG databases. The results found that the definition of people’s attitudes towards adopting the culturally defined social role of the opposite biological sex is ideal for being globally applied. The most used dimensions found in studies are agency and communion. Depending on the surface nature of gender stereotypes change outcomes found, only a few outcomes are favorable to the economy. There are more negative related outcomes in the family, work, and health clusters. It implies that future research needs to consider overcoming these adverse outcomes. Besides, a gap was identified in gender stereotype change in the technology landscape, and future research needs more focus on these areas. Moreover, the definitions, dimensions, and consequences synthesized in this paper provide insights to build an extended theoretical foundation for gender research in the future. This study had a limited number of articles inclusion because only two databases were selected for article retrieval.
