Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The events Pat experienced after his birth, specifically being raised as a girl, are social influences on Pat's gender development. The other options, such as the Electra complex and genetic influences, are not relevant to Pat's situation as they pertain to different theories or developmental stages. The term "non-genetic prenatal" is not a clear or specific enough option to be the best choice.
