Explanation: 1. Men have been socialized to remain focused on the issue and avoid self-disclosure about
personal experiences. Striving to reach consensus is incorrect because men can tolerate
disagreement within the group. Striving to avoid conflict is incorrect because men may be
more apt to tolerate conflict than women may. Preferring to ask questions is incorrect because
women are more apt to ask questions in order to seek input.
