Answer 1

Answer:

a. Alice Eagly.

Explanation:

Alice H. Eagly, a social psychologist, has published widely on the issues of sex differences, the psychology of gender, social role theory, attitudes- attitude change and it's structure, leadership and gender. She suggests that as men and women are constrained to different roles in the work force, it is normally assumed that that work embodies the psychological characteristics of the roles they play without any exception. She concludes that the most important and prevailing issues of gender differences in power, nurture and assertiveness are caused by the social hierarchy and the labor divide between the two genders.
