According to some developmental theorists, intellectual development and moral development differ between men and women. What did Gilligan propose?
a. As women progress toward adulthood, concepts, morals, and responsibility remain unchanged.
b. Providing and protecting remain the sole responsibilities of men in today's society.
c. Women continue to play a minor role in the financial well-being of their families.
d. Women struggle with issues of care and responsibility.
ANS: D
According to Gilligan, women struggle with issues of care and responsibility, and in turn, their relationships progress toward a maturity of interdependence. As women progress toward adulthood, the moral dilemma changes from how to exercise their rights without interfering with the rights of others to "how to lead a moral life," which includes obligations to themselves and their families and people in general. Traditional masculine roles include providing and protecting. Recently, however, men have been moving into greater disequilibrium. Both men and women are assuming different roles in today's society. Today, many women pursue careers and contribute significantly to their family's income.
