Ch. 15: Gender Development Flashcards
Review Question:
How do concepts like gender nonconformity and nonbinary gender identity challenge assumptions about child development?
Gender nonconformity and nonbinary gender identity challenges the belief that we are “naturally” gender binary in our attributes and behaviors. Because it challenges that there is a clear consistent division between only TWO genders, and all studies accounting for gender differences, or organizations and ideas of child development we make based on gender would not hold accurate.
Review Question:
Why is it important to take into account the effect sizes of average group differences in behaviors?
Because the average effect size would show there is minimal statistically significant differences between binary genders across an array of categories.
