Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a. are Pat’s operational definition of gender.

Explanation:

By categorizing gender into masculine, feminine, and androgynous (having the qualities or sex organs of both sexes) groups, Pat has adopted the three groups (masculine, feminine, and androgynous) of answer choices as his operational definition of gender. Typically, the operational definition of a variable (which, in this case, is gender) is a method or procedure used to measure or evaluate a quality or characteristic—for example: the relationship between one’s gender and one’s political affiliation.
