Accepted Answer

The study by Swim and Sanna (1996) suggests that gender stereotypes about women have remained consistent over the last two decades, with women's success being attributed to hard work rather than ability, even when they perform equally as well as men. The study does not suggest that stereotypes about women have become more positive or that gender stereotypes in general have changed. The study also did not investigate the attributions of female actors specifically, but rather the attributions made by participants in the experiments.

Question 4

Affirmative action is a policy designed to promote equal opportunity and overcome past discrimination, and prejudice and racism are attitudes or beliefs that can lead to discrimination.

Accepted Answer

According to the study by Swim and Sanna (1996), when men succeed at a task, participants attribute their success to ability, whereas when women succeed at the same task, participants attribute their success to hard work. Therefore, the best choice is A, where men are attributed with ability and women with hard work.

Question 14

According to evolutionary psychologists,what is the underlying reason why women are more nurturing than men?

Accepted Answer

Evolutionary psychologists propose that women have evolved to be more nurturing than men because of anatomical differences that enable them to bear and breastfeed infants, which creates an attachment bond and promotes maternal instincts. These physical differences have evolved over time due to the reproductive challenges and demands faced by our ancestors.
