The men and women selected for the experiment did not share any relationship nor lived in the same location. 2. t = −3.15 describes the difference between women and men for what variable in this study? Is this value significant? Provide a rationale for your answer. In this study, t= -3.15 describes the mental health variable.
Coates et al propose that the trauma led to a cross gender fantasy as a means of resolving the ensuing anxiety. Another psychosocial explanation is the effect of mother-son relationships. Stoller found that GID is often a result of distorted parent attitudes. He interviewed GID individuals and found that the majority displayed overly close mother-son relationships. Therefore, this may have led to greater female identification and confused gender identity.
In typical cases, the most frequently used form of aggression is physical aggression, such as hitting or any kind of physical harm. Homosexual domestic violence does not happen as frequently as it would in a heterosexual case. In the article “Invisible Victims: Same Sex Intimate Partner Violence in the National Violence Against Women Survey”, Messinger (2011) developed an experiment, consisting of 14,182 participants, both heterosexual and homosexual, that were either abused by their partner, or were the abuser themselves. In this survey the participants were asked to fill out a survey that consisted of questions relating to four specific types of intimate violence; verbal, sexual, physical, and controlling. The results of the survey showed that the overwhelming majority of abusers and victims who were involved in verbal and controlling form of domestic violence were homosexual partners.

The group in this study was conducted independently because the group was formed based on gender and the relevant study didn’t show that they were any relation ship among participant or lived in same location. 2. t = -3.15 describes the difference between women and men for what variable in this study?
Domestic Violence is not random but follows particular social patterns and these patterns have social causes. For example, the most striking pattern was found by Coleman et al (2007), who said that Domestic Violence mainly occurs through men being violent to women, she found that women were more likely than men to have experienced ‘intimate Violence’ across all four types of abuse, - partner abuse, family abuse, sexual assault and stalking. Statistics by Mirrlees – Black show that 99% of Domestic Violence cases against women were committed by men. She also found out that 1 in 4 women have been assaulted by a partner at some time in her life, and 1 in 8 women, repeatedly so. This is also
2. In what sense, according to conflict theorists, is rape less an act of deviance and more of an act of over conformity to cultural expectations? Do you agree with this analysis? 3. Despite the fact that girls do better than boys at school, boys have higher expectations and higher self esteem than girls, a gap that continues with each year of schooling.

Research Institute on Addictions, University at Buffalo, State University of New York Alcohol use is prevalent in cases of sexual assault and date rape on college campuses, whereas marijuana use is not considered a contributing factor in cases of sexual assault and date rape. A Harvard School of Public Heath study found that 72 percent of college rapes occurred when the female was too intoxicated by alcohol to resist/consent. Source:
The study’s defined sub-groups include gender, age and race. The research is based on self-reported information put together to present a clear picture of different patterns of alcohol consumption in defined sub-groups. In relation to abstinence of alcohol use, women were reported to be more abstinent (40%) compared to men (32%). The study also states that past-month drinkers were recorded at a 57.4% for men and 46.5% for women. The two findings are from research work conducted by two independent bodies with the former conducted by National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) while the latter having being conducted by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health
Differences in aggressiveness are another feature of gender roles, this is sown in meads study, and she observed three countries in Papua New Guniea and found that males were more aggressive than females. Mead also observed cultural differences where in some cultures females were more aggressive than other females. This is known as cultural realism in which aggression is innate within us but the level of which the behaviours are performed is relative to their particular culture. Sex stereotypes affect gender roles according to the Williams and best study. They studies 30 different countries, 2800 university students used as participants.
According to Jennifer Warner (2006), “Men may experience more traumatic events than women, but a new study shows women are more likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).” In laymen’s terms, men encounter stressful situations more often than women while females are highly probable to be diagnosed with PTSD. The WebMD (2006) website, “Researchers say men and women respond to trauma and stress differently, and the criteria used to diagnose PTSD may help explain the higher rates of the disorder among women.” These two statements support my prediction that women are more probable to suffer from posttraumatic stress
