Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene-environment interaction refers to the way genetics and environment interact to influence development. Since Brad's gender identity falls outside traditional cultural gender norms and expectations, it is unlikely that genes played a role in his transgender identity. Therefore, gene-environment interaction is not a social-cultural influence on his gender development. Parental influences, peer influences, and cultural gender norms are all social-cultural influences that can contribute to an individual's gender development.
