Question 2
Deirdra recently read through a gender identity case study that follows a young boy through adulthood. The case study describes that as a child, the boy was primarily interested in playing with dolls and wearing women's clothing rather than playing sports
The case study concludes with a detailed analysis of the subject's decision to undergo gender reassignment therapy as an adult. This study is of particular interest to Deirdra because her three year old son often plays with dolls and likes to wear her shoes around the house. Deirdra wonders, if based on the information provided in the case study, whether her son would benefit from gender reassignment therapy as an adult? This scenario best reflects which shortcoming of case studies?
a. Case studies are not always generalizable.
b. Case studies do not provide useful information.
c. Case studies are very limited by the amount of information that can be collected for one individual.
d. Case studies are usually not helpful for the subject of the study themselves.
