Question

Evaluate what research has shown about the relationship between intelligence, biological sex, and race or ethnicity. Use evidence presented in the text to support your claim. Be sure to also discuss what psychologists believe.

Answer 1

Define and differentiate between sex and gender
Define and discuss what is meant by gender identity
Understand and discuss the role of homophobia and heterosexism in society
Distinguish the meanings of transgendered, transsexual, and homosexual identities

Answer 2

Answer:

Research has shown that there is no evidence supports the idea that normal, healthy children can be molded into geniuses by growing up in an exceptionally enriched environment. Studies of children raised in extremely impoverished environments with minimal social interaction indicate that life experiences can significantly influence intelligence test performance.

For example Psychologist Carol Dweck reports that believing intelligence is biologically set and unchanging can lead to a “fixed mindset.” Believing intelligence is changeable, a “growth mindset” results in a focus on learning and growing.
