Research has shown that there is a great deal of agreement between both males and females on what is sexually arousing. This is because sexual scripts are shaped by cultural and social norms, which are relatively similar within a given society. Therefore, the most sexually arousing sequence of events would likely show a high level of agreement between and among females and males.

Question 8

You are on a number of student committees at your University/College which has put you in the position of volunteering at back-to-back events during orientation.You have just finished running a sexuality education booth where you were demonstrating proper condom use techniques and are now setting up a booth for international students.Your co-volunteer arrives to help you with the booth and,in an enthusiastic manner,grabs a coloured condom that was hanging out of your pocket,and begins to blow it up like a balloon.You burst out laughing but your colleague looks at you in complete confusion.Which is the BEST description of how symbolic interaction theory might describe what has taken place?

Accepted Answer

Symbolic interaction theory emphasizes that objects, actions, and words have meaning in relation to the intentions and plans of individuals. In this scenario, the coloured condom had a specific meaning and purpose related to the sexuality education booth, but the co-volunteer interpreted it as a playful object that could be blown up like a balloon. This illustrates how objects can take on different meanings depending on the individual's perspective and intentions, as emphasized by symbolic interaction theory.
