Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "There is evidence for an expansion of gender role boundaries at midlife" is the most accurate conclusion based on current data on gender roles at midlife. This is supported by research that has shown that both men and women tend to display a broader range of gender-stereotypic behaviors and attitudes as they age. This suggests that gender roles are becoming less rigid and more flexible at midlife, which is consistent with an expansion of gender role boundaries. Option A is incorrect because there is evidence of gender role expansion among other ethnic groups as well. Option B and C are incorrect because there is no clear evidence of a unidirectional shift towards more feminine or masculine traits for either gender at midlife.
