An isometric contraction is the kind of contraction that leads to development of tension but no increase in length.

An isometric contraction occurs as the muscle produces tension without changing the angle of a skeletal joint. Isometric contraction is a static muscle action that helps to maintain the posture. For example, the antigravity muscles. It occurs in the biceps when the arms may be holding a weight. In such a posture, the biceps enlarge due to holding of weight and produces tension but do no increase in length. It stops the flexion of elbow. In such contraction, no work is done, and lesser amount of heat energy is released in comparison to isotonic contractions.

In a well-written paragraph, explain how media sources can be used to influence a person's political viewpoint.
taurus [48]

Answer:

Answer in bold down below! :D

Explanation:

Media sources can influence a way thinks about the world outside. They may read an article or see a post online that makes them think they are seeing the truth. They may develop a way of thinking that may make others upset. By this, fake information makes its way around everyone, shaping them to be people they aren't. Things that people see online aren't entirely correct. So be sure to know that the things you see can be beneficial to you.

Im sorry if this is wrong in any way!

How do men and women differ in their views about becoming independent from parental authority?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Mars-Venus sex differences appear to be as mythical as the Man in the Moon. A 2005 analysis of 46 meta-analyses that were conducted during the last two decades of the 20th century underscores that men and women are basically alike in terms of personality, cognitive ability and leadership. Psychologist Janet Shibley Hyde, PhD, of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, discovered that males and females from childhood to adulthood are more alike than different on most psychological variables, resulting in what she calls a gender similarities hypothesis. Using meta-analytical techniques that revolutionized the study of gender differences starting in the 1980s, she analyzed how prior research assessed the impact of gender on many psychological traits and abilities, including cognitive abilities, verbal and nonverbal communication, aggression, leadership, self-esteem, moral reasoning and motor behaviors.

Hyde observed that across the dozens of studies, consistent with the gender similarities hypothesis, gender differences had either no or a very small effect on most of the psychological variables examined. Only a few main differences appeared: Compared with women, men could throw farther, were more physically aggressive, masturbated more, and held more positive attitudes about sex in uncommitted relationships.

Furthermore, Hyde found that gender differences seem to depend on the context in which they were measured. In studies designed to eliminate gender norms, researchers demonstrated that gender roles and social context strongly determined a person's actions. For example, after participants in one experiment were told that they would not be identified as male or female, nor did they wear any identification, none conformed to stereotypes about their sex when given the chance to be aggressive. In fact, they did the opposite of what would be expected - women were more aggressive and men were more passive.

Finally, Hyde's 2005 report looked into the developmental course of possible gender differences - how any apparent gap may open or close over time. The analysis presented evidence that gender differences fluctuate with age, growing smaller or larger at different times in the life span. This fluctuation indicates again that any differences are not stable.
