Question 8

limitation of atypical sex chromosomes

Answer 8

-sampling issues, need a large number of individuals to see full range of characteristics from mild to severe as usually only those most severe symptoms identified, Limitation because it distorted vision on what’s normal symptoms of which can over exaggerate the picture of the disorder, therefore we would need prospective studies as done by one researcher, many individuals don’t experience significant psychological symptoms so sampling is an issue as we need a broader range

Question 9

strength of atypical sex chromosome patterns

Answer 9

-contribution to nature nurture debate, support suggesting nature has a powerful effect on the syndromes however they can be said that the symptoms could be from the environment, social immaturity which is seen in females may occur because they are treated immaturely due to their condition, limitation as it assumes biology is the main factor so adopt an interactionist approach
