Suppose that you meet an infant who is dressed in gender-neutral clothing, and the infant's father tells you that the infant is named Robert. The social constructionist perspective would argue that
 
  a. you will construct a gender-neutral infant, neither extremely masculine or extremely feminine.
  b. you will adjust your thinking so that Robert's appearance and actions seem more masculine.
  c. you will perceive Robert to be an exception to the rule about boys having masculine characteristics.
  d. you will reinforce Robert for his gender-inappropriate behaviors.

Question 2

The social constructionist view is best supported by the finding that
 
  a. we see feminine behavior in infants we believe are female and masculine behavior in infants we believe are male.
  b. chromosomal patterns and hormones are the primary determinants of social behaviors.
  c. atypical prenatal development can be easily corrected with hormonal treatment.
  d. strangers treat boys and girls more similarly than parents do.
