Please choose a question below and type your answer in the built-in text editor. You only need to select one question from the list below:
1. Explain how evolutionary psychology, social role theory, and biosocial constructionist theory each account for the origins of gender stereotypes. Describe why the specific content of stereotypes applied to men and women (e.g., men as relatively high on agency and women relatively high on warmth) emerged, according to each theory.
2. How consistent are sex differences in math, verbal, and visual-spatial performance across culture? How does the cross-cultural consistency of these differences relate to the nature versus nurture debate?
3. What is the Whorfian hypothesis? Describe the results of two studies that support the Whorfian hypothesis and explain why they support it.
