Question 1
Research on the brain and social aggression teaches us that:
◦ children who display aggression often show difference in the size and activity of certain brain regions.
◦ aggression-related changes in the brain are the result of environmental factors.
◦ a single region of the brain - the amygdala - is responsible for both prosocial and antisocial behaviors.
◦ aggression and bullying are inborn traits determined by unique combinations of genes.
Question 2
Research on gender-specific patterns of social interaction and play suggests that gender-specific behaviors:
◦ exist in every culture and society in the world.
◦ are more common in less industrialized societies.
◦ can be avoided when a child is raised in a nonstereotyped home.
◦ are more common in Western cultures than in Eastern cultures.
