Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A survey of the gender-role acquisition stages should be included (Table 11.1). Her daughter is leaving
a stage where children in middle childhood exhibit the flexibility of gender concepts and entering
the stage of early adolescence characterized by gender intensification. Her daughter may, for a short time,
exhibit very traditional sex-typed attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs. It is not until middle adolescence that
career choices may be made. Her daughter may reestablish her interest in becoming a doctor.
