Question 1

A ________ is a set of culturally defined expectations that define how people of one gender ought to behave;a ________ is a generalization about a group of people (such as all persons of one gender)that distinguishes them from others.

Accepted Answer

A gender role is a set of cultural expectations that dictate how individuals of a particular gender should behave. A stereotype is a generalized belief about a group of people that distinguishes them from others.

Question 2

The increased availability of television in a town in British Columbia was associated with which of the following in children of that town?

Accepted Answer

The question is referencing the "cultivation theory," which suggests that exposure to media over time can shape individuals' perceptions and beliefs about the world. In this case, increased exposure to television may have led to an increase in gender-stereotyped attitudes among the children in the town. There is no evidence to suggest that increased television exposure would lead to promiscuity, homosexuality, or a decrease in testosterone levels.

Question 3

In general,how have media portrayals of gender stereotypes changed over time?

Accepted Answer

B

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT an aspect of the traditional sexual script (TSS)for males in sexual situations?

Accepted Answer

The traditional sexual script (TSS) for males emphasizes that men are expected to be the initiators in sexual situations, responsible for both their and their female partner's sexual enjoyment, and that males with a lot of sexual experience are very attractive and masculine. However, there is no expectation that men should let women take the lead after sexual activity starts. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Question 5

Why do adult men and women behave as gender roles say they should?

Accepted Answer

Socialization is the process by which individuals learn and internalize the norms, values, beliefs, and behaviors of their culture. Gender roles are a part of this socialization process, and are learned through various agents of socialization such as family, peers, media, and education. As a result, individuals may conform to these gender roles in order to be accepted and valued by their culture and society.

Question 6

According to cognitive theorists,which is NOT TRUE about our gender schema?

Accepted Answer

This statement is not true according to cognitive theorists. In fact, our own gender roles can have an impact on the formation and influence of our gender schema.

Question 7

Which of the following is NOT an example of gender-role socialization?

Accepted Answer

This is an example of teaching a skill or knowledge, not gender roles. The other options involve promoting or enforcing specific gender roles or expectations.

Question 8

Gender stereotypes that are present in the mass media,particularly TV shows

Accepted Answer

Gender stereotypes present in mass media, particularly TV shows, have a significant effect on the beliefs and behavior of children. Research has shown that exposure to gender stereotypes in media can lead to children developing gender-specific beliefs, expectations, and attitudes that can affect their behavior and attitudes toward others. Additionally, exposure to negative stereotypes can lead to decreased self-esteem and confidence in individuals who identify with the targeted group.

Question 9

found that

Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that males are more likely to initiate sex than females in dating and long-term relationships, regardless of age or culture. However, it is important to note that this does not necessarily mean that females are less interested in sex or less sexually active, but rather that societal norms and expectations often dictate that males should take the lead in initiating sexual activity.

Question 10

__________ are cognitive frameworks for how people are expected to behave in social situations.

Accepted Answer

Scripts are cognitive frameworks that guide behavior in social situations. They are pre-existing mental guides or templates that help individuals to behave in accordance with social norms and expectations. Information constellations, knowledge structures, and schemas are related concepts, but they do not specifically refer to the cognitive frameworks for social behavior in the same way that scripts do.

Question 11

Alex is a quiet,considerate,and pretty child.Alex is often told that she is pretty and knows that she is very quiet.Alex's mom is also quiet,pretty and considerate.As Alex gets older she meets more and more women who are also quiet and considerate.Using the concept of self-socialization,how is the match between Alex's characteristics and the characteristics of women in her life likely to influence Alex?

Accepted Answer

According to self-socialization theory, children actively seek out experiences and people that match their own characteristics, which reinforces their sense of self and strengthens their identity. In this case, Alex's quietness, consideration, and physical beauty are traits that she shares with the women in her life, which is likely to lead to a strengthening of her female gender identity. Therefore, choice B is the best answer. Choices A, C, and D are unlikely because they do not fit with the principles of self-socialization theory.

Accepted Answer

According to cultural and societal norms in China, extramarital affairs may be considered acceptable for men who work away from the geographical location of the home, as long as they continue to fulfill their responsibilities toward their family. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the "second wife culture." However, extramarital affairs are generally frowned upon in other situations in China.

Accepted Answer

A gender role refers to a set of norms and expectations that define how people of one gender ought to behave in society. These roles are often based on cultural and societal beliefs about what is appropriate or desirable behavior for men and women. Gender roles can vary across different cultures and historical periods, and may also evolve over time.

Question 18

A number of cross-cultural similarities in gender roles were found by research in the Ethnocultural Communities Facing AIDS study.For example

Accepted Answer

The option D states that females are expected to be passive and to meet males' needs in sexual relationships, which is a cross-cultural similarity found in the Ethnocultural Communities Facing AIDS study. The other options are incorrect as they do not reflect any cross-cultural similarities in gender roles found by the study.

Question 19

Probably the first thing we want to know about a baby that we are viewing for the first time is its

Accepted Answer

The gender of a baby is typically the first thing people want to know because it helps us to identify the baby as male or female and allows us to use proper pronouns and refer to the baby by their chosen name. Race, religion, and social class are all irrelevant when it comes to identifying and getting to know a baby.

Question 20

The peer group can also have a big impact in socializing for gender roles.In an Ontario experiment with children in grades 3 to 6
