Ghavami and Peplau (2013)asked American undergraduate students to list attributes of different groups of people based on race/ethnicity and gender,and then by race/gender pairings.The researchers found that within group descriptions differed by race/gender compared to descriptions based solely on one social identity (race or gender).Which of the following is an example of these findings?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The findings suggest that within group descriptions differed by race/gender. Therefore, Middle Eastern women were described differently from their male counterparts, and from Middle Eastern people in general. This supports option A as the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because it states that "the general categories of men/women were described differently," but does not specify how race/ethnicity plays a role in these differences. Option C is also incorrect because the findings suggest that descriptions of different groups were influenced by race/ethnicity, so it is unlikely that all women were described similarly regardless of race. Option D is partially correct, as some race groups were described the same regardless of gender, but this option does not provide enough information to determine which race groups were described similarly or differently.
