Answer 1

Answer:

Dr. Money's view of gender identity development falls on the nurture scale.

Explanation:

Traditional view of gender identify had a stance of nature. It was the biological factor that determined the identity of an individual according to traditional view.

Dr. Money's view of gender identity development falls on the nurture scale.

In his experiment we can understand that he tried to convince Joan/John for sex reassignment through numerous experiments of nurture such as by making him watch about male and female genitalia, spoke to him about women's biological features, suggesting him hormonal tablets, etc.

It was all done in an attempt to convince him psychologically that he was a girl through the process of nurture.
