Question

Jennifer regularly instructs her students to avoid believing age-old theories about the differences between men and women. "As it turns out," she says, "men and women are far more alike than we are different." Jennifer is explaining the _________ hypothesis.

Answer 1

The non-directional hypothesis
The non-directional hypothesis states that a difference exists between two variables but it does not state or predict the direction of the difference. From the question, it was stated that there are some differences between men and women but the direction of the differences between them were not identified. Therefore, Jennifer is explaining the non-directional hypothesis.
