Explain one of the two lines of reasoning behind researchers spending so much time studying infant gender differences.
What will be an ideal response?
Some have reasoned that, if gender differences are found in newborns, then those differences must surely be innate and the result of biological factors, because gender role socialization can scarcely have had time to have an effect. The idea, then, is to try to discover which gender differences are innate by studying newborns. OR Many investigators think it is important to study the way parents and other adults treat infants, to discover subtle differences in the way adults treat boy babies and girl babies, beginning the process of socialization at a critical age. The logic here is that boys and girls are socialized to be different.
