Description
This assignment consists of four medium-length questions that you must answer in 500 words or less (i.e., your response to each question should be a maximum of 500 words). Your response should be well-written and conform to APA format, with no grammatical or spelling errors. Here is a link to help with writing style if needed:
Each of the following questions is worth 10 points, for a total of 40 points. Remember that your answer for each question must be 500 words or less.
1. Of the theoretical perspectives related to the psychology of women and gender, which do you think provides the best explanation for gender differences between women and men? How does this theoretical perspective relate to gender essentialism? Your answer should include a description of the theoretical perspective, evidence that supports this perspective, and a well-reasoned explanation as to why you’ve selected this perspective.
2. Describe one consequence of gender stereotypes, including evidence supporting that this consequence occurs and exists. Your answer should include a full description of the consequence and its ramifications. Your description of evidence should include the hypotheses, methodology, results, and conclusions/implications presented by the researchers who conducted the study.
3. Using concepts that were introduced during our discussions about research methods, identify and describe the researcher biases present in the article by AlShebli and colleagues (2020). Your answer should connect this study to the biases that researchers could face in at least three stages of the empirical research process. For each of the biases you identify, describe what the authors of this paper could have realistically done differently to eliminate the biases that you’ve identified. Look at files to see description of AlShelbi article.
4. From the list below, choose one article that you think everyone should read. Describe the researcher’s hypotheses (or research questions), methodology, results, and conclusions/implications, and describe why you think everyone should read it (i.e., what course-related concepts does the article relate to, that you think everyone should know about).
