Rosenfield's (2000) theory suggests that gender socialization influences these gender differences in psychopathology. Girls are often socialized to be more expressive of their emotions, which may contribute to higher rates of internalizing disorders such as depression and anxiety. Boys, on the other hand, are often socialized to be more aggressive and dominant, which may contribute to higher rates of externalizing disorders such as conduct disorder and substance abuse. Therefore, option C is correct as it matches the correct gender differences to their corresponding disorders.
