Scripting theories focus on the enactment of roles based on structural positions and the social and cultural norms and expectations attached to these positions. These theories are applied in a number of academic disciplines and content areas with prominent variations including sexual and gender scripts. However, across approaches, these theories emphasize that intrapersonal processes, such as the meaning that individuals give to roles, interact with context and environment to influence role enactment and social interaction. Traditional sexual scripts and gender norms around masculinity and femininity remain influential in society, including a sexual double standard for sexual activity based on gender. As egalitarian ideals and gender norms evolve, future research and application of scripting theories will also need to evolve to accommodate shifts in norms and expectations for sexual interaction and gender
