Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in increased levels of androgens (male sex hormones) in females. Studies have shown that exposure to higher levels of androgens in utero can be linked to a preference for occupations involving "things" (such as engineering or mechanics) rather than "people" (such as teaching or social work). Therefore, it is more likely that Julia, who was born with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, will have a preference for occupations involving "things" compared to her sister Bethany. This does not necessarily mean that Julia will have different toy preferences or that Bethany will be more likely to play with gender-atypical toys.
