Accepted Answer

The answer of The process of creating gender schemas starts...

Question 3

Christopher and William are adopting an infant. The infant's medical record shows that the infant has XX sex chromosomes and in the photo the infant appears to have a penis.
Based on this information, the infant most likely

Accepted Answer

The presence of XX chromosomes indicates a genetic female, but the appearance of a penis suggests a condition affecting sexual development. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) can cause female (XX) infants to have external genitalia that appear more typically male, making option D the most likely explanation.

Question 4

Namra, a Pakistani girl, and Rosalie, an Italian girl, both aspire to be politicians. Based on the typical gender role socialization in their respected countries, which girl is likely to have
A harder time realizing her dream?

Accepted Answer

Pakistan is a country with a strong patriarchal society where women face significant gender discrimination and bias. This is evident in the low representation of women in politics and employment opportunities. As a result, Namra is likely to face more obstacles and discrimination in fulfilling her aspirations compared to Rosalie, who comes from a country that values gender equality and has a higher representation of women in politics and leadership roles.

Question 5

People with androgen insensitivity syndrome

Accepted Answer

People with androgen insensitivity syndrome are genetically male but have incomplete or absent development of male genitalia and secondary sex characteristics due to a resistance to the effects of androgens. They often have a female appearance and are typically raised as girls.

Question 6

Bilal believes that boys are generally strong, aggressive, and interested in sports, while girls are generally polite, expressive, nurturing, and interested in relationships. These
Beliefs reflect Bilal's gender

Accepted Answer

Bilal's beliefs reflect his gender schemas, which are cognitive frameworks that organize and guide the processing of information about gender. These schemas can shape individual beliefs and attitudes about gender roles and expectations.

Question 7

Included dolls, play kitchen sets, and costume jewelry. Last month the store's manager
Combined these two sections into one and removed the gender labels with the hopes that it
Would help people change their ideas about which toys are appropriate for a child. The
Manager is trying to change people's gender

Accepted Answer

The manager is trying to remove gender stereotypes about which toys are appropriate for a child.

Question 8

Darshana is a girl who did not develop normally when she reached puberty. A genetic test confirmed that Darshana has Turner syndrome and she is now receiving estrogen
Replacement therapy. Based on this, you can conclude that the genetic test revealed that
Darshana has ________ female sex chromosome(s) and ________ male sex chromosome(s).

Accepted Answer

Turner syndrome is characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome and the absence of the second sex chromosome, which can be either an X or a Y chromosome, resulting in a 45,X karyotype. This means individuals with Turner syndrome have one female sex chromosome (X) and no male sex chromosome.

Question 9

Dr. Jackson has just delivered a newborn infant with androgen insensitivity syndrome. The baby is genetically male but has ambiguous genitals that much more closely resemble
A vagina than a penis. Based on recent research, what is the most appropriate course of
Action that Dr. Jackson should recommend to the infant's parents?

Accepted Answer

Recent research suggests that assigning a gender to a child with ambiguous genitals at birth can lead to negative psychological outcomes. Waiting for the child to develop a gender identity and providing support and resources for the child and family is now the recommended course of action. Additionally, conducting surgery to alter the infant's genitals before the child can provide consent is controversial and has potential risks and complications.

Question 10

Encouraging college students to consider a variety of careers, regardless of whether they are traditionally considered "jobs for men" or "jobs for women," is one way to

Accepted Answer

Encouraging college students to consider a variety of careers regardless of traditional gender stereotypes can help overcome these stereotypes and promote gender equality in the workforce. It has nothing to do with sexual orientation or gender identity.

Question 11

James was born with a penis but during puberty began to grow breasts. After various medical tests, a doctor tells James that he has XXY sex chromosomes. Based on this you know that
James is most likely experiencing

Accepted Answer

The fact that James has XXY sex chromosomes indicates that he is intersex and experiencing atypical development. This is because individuals with XXY sex chromosomes have a condition called Klinefelter syndrome, which can result in atypical development of primary and secondary sex characteristics.

Question 12

Michael was born with three sex chromosomes. At 20 years old, he has a very small but functional penis, a high voice, a naturally hairless face and chest, and well-developed breasts.
Based on this, Michael is most likely experiencing being intersex due to

Accepted Answer

Michael's symptoms suggest he may have Klinefelter syndrome, which is caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome (XXY). This can result in underdeveloped testes, a less masculine appearance and typically reduced levels of testosterone. The breasts suggest he is producing more of the female hormone estrogen.

Question 13

Information about gender roles and gender identity are a part of a person's cognitive structures that organize information about gender categories. These cognitive structures are
Called gender

Accepted Answer

Gender schemas are cognitive structures that organize information about gender categories, including gender roles and gender identity. Gender lenses, perspectives, and biases may also be related to gender, but they do not specifically refer to the cognitive structures that organize information about gender categories.

Question 14

Kyung is studying for his psychology exam. He is correctly trying to remember that people learn gender roles through gender ________ and people learn gender identity through their
Experiences and mental development, as described in ________.

Accepted Answer

The question is asking about two different concepts - gender roles and gender identity - and how they are learned. Gender roles are learned through role socialization, while gender identity is learned through cognitive development theory. Therefore, the best answer is C - role socialization; cognitive development theory.

Question 15

Jerome's parents have noticed that he is not developing normal secondary sex characteristics for a male going through puberty, so they have taken him to their physician, Dr. Sanchez, for
Testing. Dr. Sanchez explains to Jerome's parents that Jerome has Klinefelter syndrome.
What conclusion can we NOT draw from this information?

Accepted Answer

Klinefelter syndrome is a condition where a male has at least two X chromosomes in addition to one Y chromosome, resulting in a genetic makeup of XXY. This can lead to lower-than-normal production of testosterone, which can cause delayed or incomplete puberty and other physical and developmental differences. Therefore, we cannot conclude that Jerome has higher-than-normal production of testosterone.

Question 16

When little Billy first meets his new babysitter, Tanya, Billy assumes that Tanya is male because she has short hair and is wearing a football jersey. Billy's mistake was most likely
Due to a mismatch between his own gender ________ and Tanya's gender ________.

Accepted Answer

Billy's assumption was based on his existing schema (or mental framework) for what a babysitter looks like, which likely includes characteristics such as long hair, makeup, and feminine clothing. Tanya's appearance, with short hair and a football jersey, did not fit Billy's schema for a babysitter, leading him to assume she was male. Therefore, Billy's mistake was most likely due to a mismatch between his gender schema and Tanya's gender expression.

Question 17

At a college in the United States a female runner was found to have XY sex chromosomes, lack ovaries and a uterus, and have internal testes that produce high levels of testosterone.
This runner may be described as being intersex because she

Accepted Answer

The runner's biological sex characteristics do not clearly fit into the binary categories of male or female. This is the definition of being intersex. None of the other options accurately describe the runner's situation.
