Handedness and the Diverse Gender-Related Personality Traits in Humans
According to recent meta-analysis, there has been an immoderate amount of
information linked between the likeliness of sexual orientation and laterality. Using one hand
more than the other. The significant data from 6,182 homosexual and 14,808 heterosexual men,
showed that homosexual men had 34% greater odds of being non-right handed than heterosexual
men, and data from 805 homosexual and 1,615 heterosexual women had 91% greater odds of
being non- right handed than heterosexual women RichardA.Lippa,Ph.D.1 Other gender-
atypicality has been linked to this finding, one would be gender identity disorder. In an
international survey, more than 11,000 participants, documented that 10.6% of males and 8.5%
of females are at higher rates of heft- handedness. Even though the number of theories found of
small but reliable gender differences found in handedness, the results remain poorly understood.
Prenatal Androgen Theory is the most reasonable explanation of homosexuality in
the social behavior of human genders. Stating the sexual orientation is established in the womb
during fetal development. Although with more higher androgen exposure, comes more gender
typical patterns of development, in the males case it would be a greater chance of left-
handedness. Corresponding to gender- related personality traits, within sexual orientation groups,
non- right handedness is associated with masculine traits for both sexes. Predictions have been
made based on simple linear version of prenatal hormone theory, the androgens masculinize
behavior between sex and then is compared on average (James, 1989). Consequently there has
been strong data shown the prenatal hormone theory of handedness, concluding that the non-
right-handedness occurs more in the males sex than females.
Handedness and the Diverse Gender-Related Personality Traits in Humans
Neurological and developmental problems can be the cause of so many theories.
For instance the Pathological left- handedness theory, stating that left-handedness is caused by
pathological stressors, as in birth traumas, or cerebrum impairments. Evidence has proven that
left-handedness is associated with numerous cognitive developmental problems, including
learning disabilities, intellectual retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, etc. (Previc,1996). An
argument has been made that moderate right-handedness is the optimal evolved human trait and
therefore that developmental instability leads both to non-right ...

As the children in Leslie’s classroom moved through the preschool years, their personalities took on clearer definition. By age 3, they voiced firm likes and dislikes as well as new ideas about themselves. “Stop bothering me,” Sammy said to Mark, who had reached for Sammy’s beanbag as Sammy aimed it toward the mouth of a large clown face. “See, I’m great at this game,” Sammy announced with confidence, an attitude that kept him trying, even though he missed most of the throws.
The children’s conversations also revealed early notions about morality. Often they combined adults’ statements about right and wrong with forceful attempts to defend their own desires. “You’re ‘posed to share,” stated Mark, grabbing the beanbag out of Sammy’s hand.
“I was here first! Gimme it back,” demanded Sammy, pushing Mark. The two boys struggled until Leslie intervened, provided an extra set of beanbags, and showed them how they could both play.
As the interaction between Sammy and Mark reveals, preschoolers quickly become complex social beings. Young children argue, grab, and push, but cooperative exchanges are far more frequent. Between ages 2 and 6, first friendships form, in which children converse, act out complementary roles, and learn that their own desires for companionship and toys are best met when they consider others’ needs and interests.

Note that your submission should follow AUO academic writing guidelines and APA rules for academic writing and referencing.
Submission Details:
In early infancy emotional expressions are automatic and not
yet subject to voluntary control. As children develop and
mature, they begin to regulate emotional displays in order to
meet personal goals and to meet the demands and expectations
of their culture. Culturally prescribed social conventions
dictate how, where, when, and to whom specific emotions are
expressed. These norms, otherwise known as display rules, are
learned culture-specific rules that convey what is socially
appropriate or desirable in certain social contexts and underlie
the management and regulation of emotional expression
(Ekman & Friesen, 1975).
The use of display rules in young North American children
has been investigated largely through the administration of a
procedure known as the disappointment gift paradigm (Cole,
1986; Cole, Zahn-Waxler, & Smith, 1994; Saarni, 1984,
1992). In this procedure, children are presented with an unde-
sirable gift in the presence of an audience figure, and their
emotional responses are recorded. This paradigm takes advan-
tage of the commonly understood North American practice of
smiling upon receiving a gift even though covertly one may not
like the gift (Goffman, 1967).
Existing research with North American children has gener-
ally focused on examining the role of age and gender in
children’s emotional reactions to a disappointing gift situation.
In addition to age and gender, culture is likely another source
of variation in children’s emotionally expressive behaviors. Yet
the role of cultural beliefs and norms in guiding expressive
behaviors has been largely overlooked in investigations of
children’s emotional development (Parke, 1994; Rubin, 1998;
Saarni, 1998, 1999). In the present study, the role of age,
gender, and cultur.
This paper critically reviews two literatures related to adolescent social skills:
That evaluating the relationship between adolescent peer interactions and peer acceptance, and that
examining the characteristics of teenage same-sex frz&oJships. Although studies in each area are
limited by almost exclusive reliance on verbal report, they consistently point to numerous positive
and negative behaviors that social skills training outcome studies have virtually ignored. Social
skills assessment and training programs could expand their focus by assessing and training skills
involving cooperating, sharing and helping displaying loyalty, initiating activities, and developing
intimacy. Furthermore, negative responses associated with peer rejection should receive more
expl;Cit attention. Final&, friendship initiation and maintenance, as well as demonstrated acquisition
of specific skills, should become key criteria for determining successful social skills intervention.

The Search for Sexual Intimacy for Men with
Cerebral Palsy1
Russell P. Shuttleworth, Ph.D.2
Exploring accounts of the search for sexual intimacy for 14 men with cerebral
palsy revealed a range of issues and impediments and a complex intersubjec-
tive process in their search for a lover. Yet, despite an adverse sociocultural
context of disability and desirability, most of the men had experienced long-
term sexual relationships. The cultivation of several aspects of self and soci-
ety was noted as facilitating the possibility of their establishing sexual inti-
macy with others.
KEY WORDS: sexuality; cerebral palsy; disability studies; existential-phenomenology.
One of the major tasks set by the Disability Rights Movement is to work
for increased access to social contexts from which disabled people have pre-
viously been denied. Here, the social model of disability, in which socio-
cultural environments are seen as disabling, is the theoretical linchpin in a
powerful social movement. However, there is a phenomenological insight to
this model that is generally not recognized in academic discussion but which
nevertheless resonates existentially with our experience. In fact, from an exis-
tential-phenomenological point of view, access-obstruction is experienced by
the subject as a continuum of intention and felt sense. Buytendijk has pro-
posed that our different modes of feeling pleasant or unpleasant signify access
or obstruction to the intentional objects of our consciousness (1). From this
perspective, feeling sad, depressed, happy, joyful, hopeful, hopeless, angry,

HW in teams of 3 studentsAn oil remanufacturing company uses c.docxwellesleyterresa
HW in teams of 3 students
An oil remanufacturing company uses clay in its manufacturing process. This clay comes into the plant in 80-pound bags stacked 40 per pallet and 50 pallets per boxcar. The railroad spur comes into the plant property but your plant does not have a rail car siding. Two car loads per year are used. The union and the company agreed that the part time workers would be hired for one week, twice a year at the rate of $7.5 per hour to unload these cars. You feel that this is a bad job and no one should have to work this hard. You look into this project
1
Why is this done?
We need the clay, and the railroad is by far the cheapest way to transport it
What: 80pounds bags of clay=160,000 pound boxcar load
Where: from the boxcar in our yard to the storeroom, 300ft away
Who: 2 temporary workers
When: one week, twice a year
How: Present method: manually unload the pallets off the boxcar then move these pallets into the storeroom with the fork truck we already own
2
How much could you spend improving this job?
We spend a week, twice a year with 2 temporary workers at $7.5
4 weeks* 40 hours per week*7.5per hour = $1,200
3
Questions:
Should the current method stays the same?
Are there other alternatives?
Is the current method the cheapest in the long run?
How would you justify an expenditure over $3,000
What do you think about cumulative trauma disorders and work-related injuries?
4
Write a report with the answers to your questions.
Include figures, tables, and other sources of information to help justify the project and also answer the questions. You can certainly use the textbook to help you.
Include in your report a list of references and of course cite all your sources of information.
This work MUST be done in teams of 3 people or 2. No individual assignment will be accepted.

HW 5: Math 405. Due: beginning of class – Monday, 10 Oct 2016
1. Strogatz (1988). Consider lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Let:
R(t) = Romeo’s love/hate for Juliet at time t;
J(t) = Juliet’s love/hate for Romeo at time T;
where positive values of R(t), J(t), signify love, and negative values signify hate, at
a time t. Consider this model for a “fickle” lover, in which “the more Romeo loves
Juliet, the more she wants to run away and hide. But when Romeo gets discouraged
and backs off, Juliet begins to find him strangely attractive. Romeo, on the other
hand, tends to echo Juliet: he warms up when she loves him and grows cold when
she hates him.”
R′(t) = aJ,
J′(t) = −bR, (1)
where a,b > 0 .
(a) Rewrite (1) as a system.
(b) Find the fixed point(s).
(c) Find the eigenvalues.
(d) Find the eigenvectors.
(e) Write the general solution. Show that it can be written as a real-valued solution
like: [
R(t)
J(t)
]
=
{
cos(
√
ab t)
[
k1
√
a/b
k2
]
+ sin(
√
ab t)
[
k2

]}
(f) Show that the trajectories in phase space are ellipses, governed by the equation
R2
aC2
+
J2
bC2
= 1,
where C2 > 0 is an arbitrary constant.
(g) Classify the fixed point and its stability.
(h) In what direction do Romeo’s and Juliet’s feelings go around the ellipse?
(i) Discuss the possible outcome for different initial conditions of love/hate.
2. (Doug Wright, Drexel U.) Romeo’s best friend, Mercutio, doesn’t like Juliet’s fick-
leness and thinks that Romeo is too good for her. He has decided to try to break
them up for good. So, he has started telling Romeo how awful Juliet is. Romeo
trusts Mercutio, and so, his ardor for Juliet wanes a bit when Mercutio tells him
such things, though he still really likes Juliet. On the other hand, Juliet dislikes
1
Mercutio and the more he disapproves of her relationship with Romeo, the more
she likes Romeo. Let R and J be as before, and let M(t) be Mercutio’s disapproval
of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship at time t, with positive values of M signifying
disapproval. Then a model for this complicated saga is:
R′(t) = J − 2M,
J′(t) = −R + 4M,
M ′(t) = R + 4J (2)
(a) Rewrite (2) as a system.
(b) Find the fixed point(s).
(c) Find the eigenvalues.
(d) Without further calculation, describe what happens to Romeo and Juliet’s
relationship now. Does Mercutio’s tampering have the effect he wants? Do
Romeo and Juliet continue to oscillate between love and hate as before?
3. (Doug Wright, Drexel U.) So, now, it turns out that Mercutio has feelings for
Juliet. Let R(t) be Romeo’s love/hate for Juliet at time t, as before; JR(t) be
Juliet’s love/hate for Romeo at time t; M(t) be Mercutio’s love/hate for Juliet at
time t; and JM (t) be Juliet’s love/hate for Mercutio at time t.
The situation is that:
• Romeo still likes/dislikes Juliet more the more she likes/dislikes him;
• Romeo doesn’t know about the Mercutio/Juliet leg of the triangle, so his
feelings are unaffected by Mercutio’s feelings for Juliet and Juliet’s fe ...

RSA Encryption
RSA = Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (MIT), 1978
Underlying hard problem
– Number theory – determining prime factors of a given
(large) number
e.g., factoring of small #: 5 -) 5, 6 -) 2 *3
– Arithmetic modulo n
How secure is RSA?
– So far remains secure (after all these years...)
– Will somebody propose a quick algorithm to factor
large numbers?
– Will quantum computing break it? -) TBD
RSA Encryption
In RSA:
– P = E (D(P)) = D(E(P)) (order of D/E does not matter)
– More precisely: P = E(kE, D(kD, P)) = D(kD, E(kE, P))
Encryption: C = Pe mod n KE = e
– n is the key length
– Note, P is turned into an integer using a padding
scheme
– Given C, it is very difficult to find P without knowing
KD
Decryption: P = Cd mod n KD = d
We will look at this algorithm in detail next time
RSA Algorithm
1. Key Generation
– A key generation algorithm
2. RSA Function Evaluation
– A function F, that takes as an input a point x and a
key k and produces either an encrypted result or
plaintext, depending on the input and the key

As the children in Leslie’s classroom moved through the preschool years, their personalities took on clearer definition. By age 3, they voiced firm likes and dislikes as well as new ideas about themselves. “Stop bothering me,” Sammy said to Mark, who had reached for Sammy’s beanbag as Sammy aimed it toward the mouth of a large clown face. “See, I’m great at this game,” Sammy announced with confidence, an attitude that kept him trying, even though he missed most of the throws.
The children’s conversations also revealed early notions about morality. Often they combined adults’ statements about right and wrong with forceful attempts to defend their own desires. “You’re ‘posed to share,” stated Mark, grabbing the beanbag out of Sammy’s hand.
“I was here first! Gimme it back,” demanded Sammy, pushing Mark. The two boys struggled until Leslie intervened, provided an extra set of beanbags, and showed them how they could both play.
As the interaction between Sammy and Mark reveals, preschoolers quickly become complex social beings. Young children argue, grab, and push, but cooperative exchanges are far more frequent. Between ages 2 and 6, first friendships form, in which children converse, act out complementary roles, and learn that their own desires for companionship and toys are best met when they consider others’ needs and interests.

Note that your submission should follow AUO academic writing guidelines and APA rules for academic writing and referencing.
Submission Details:
In early infancy emotional expressions are automatic and not
yet subject to voluntary control. As children develop and
mature, they begin to regulate emotional displays in order to
meet personal goals and to meet the demands and expectations
of their culture. Culturally prescribed social conventions
dictate how, where, when, and to whom specific emotions are
expressed. These norms, otherwise known as display rules, are
learned culture-specific rules that convey what is socially
appropriate or desirable in certain social contexts and underlie
the management and regulation of emotional expression
(Ekman & Friesen, 1975).
The use of display rules in young North American children
has been investigated largely through the administration of a
procedure known as the disappointment gift paradigm (Cole,
1986; Cole, Zahn-Waxler, & Smith, 1994; Saarni, 1984,
1992). In this procedure, children are presented with an unde-
sirable gift in the presence of an audience figure, and their
emotional responses are recorded. This paradigm takes advan-
tage of the commonly understood North American practice of
smiling upon receiving a gift even though covertly one may not
like the gift (Goffman, 1967).
Existing research with North American children has gener-
ally focused on examining the role of age and gender in
children’s emotional reactions to a disappointing gift situation.
In addition to age and gender, culture is likely another source
of variation in children’s emotionally expressive behaviors. Yet
the role of cultural beliefs and norms in guiding expressive
behaviors has been largely overlooked in investigations of
children’s emotional development (Parke, 1994; Rubin, 1998;
Saarni, 1998, 1999). In the present study, the role of age,
gender, and cultur.
This paper critically reviews two literatures related to adolescent social skills:
That evaluating the relationship between adolescent peer interactions and peer acceptance, and that
examining the characteristics of teenage same-sex frz&oJships. Although studies in each area are
limited by almost exclusive reliance on verbal report, they consistently point to numerous positive
and negative behaviors that social skills training outcome studies have virtually ignored. Social
skills assessment and training programs could expand their focus by assessing and training skills
involving cooperating, sharing and helping displaying loyalty, initiating activities, and developing
intimacy. Furthermore, negative responses associated with peer rejection should receive more
expl;Cit attention. Final&, friendship initiation and maintenance, as well as demonstrated acquisition
of specific skills, should become key criteria for determining successful social skills intervention.

The Search for Sexual Intimacy for Men with
Cerebral Palsy1
Russell P. Shuttleworth, Ph.D.2
Exploring accounts of the search for sexual intimacy for 14 men with cerebral
palsy revealed a range of issues and impediments and a complex intersubjec-
tive process in their search for a lover. Yet, despite an adverse sociocultural
context of disability and desirability, most of the men had experienced long-
term sexual relationships. The cultivation of several aspects of self and soci-
ety was noted as facilitating the possibility of their establishing sexual inti-
macy with others.
KEY WORDS: sexuality; cerebral palsy; disability studies; existential-phenomenology.
One of the major tasks set by the Disability Rights Movement is to work
for increased access to social contexts from which disabled people have pre-
viously been denied. Here, the social model of disability, in which socio-
cultural environments are seen as disabling, is the theoretical linchpin in a
powerful social movement. However, there is a phenomenological insight to
this model that is generally not recognized in academic discussion but which
nevertheless resonates existentially with our experience. In fact, from an exis-
tential-phenomenological point of view, access-obstruction is experienced by
the subject as a continuum of intention and felt sense. Buytendijk has pro-
posed that our different modes of feeling pleasant or unpleasant signify access
or obstruction to the intentional objects of our consciousness (1). From this
perspective, feeling sad, depressed, happy, joyful, hopeful, hopeless, angry,

HW in teams of 3 students
An oil remanufacturing company uses clay in its manufacturing process. This clay comes into the plant in 80-pound bags stacked 40 per pallet and 50 pallets per boxcar. The railroad spur comes into the plant property but your plant does not have a rail car siding. Two car loads per year are used. The union and the company agreed that the part time workers would be hired for one week, twice a year at the rate of $7.5 per hour to unload these cars. You feel that this is a bad job and no one should have to work this hard. You look into this project
1
Why is this done?
We need the clay, and the railroad is by far the cheapest way to transport it
What: 80pounds bags of clay=160,000 pound boxcar load
Where: from the boxcar in our yard to the storeroom, 300ft away
Who: 2 temporary workers
When: one week, twice a year
How: Present method: manually unload the pallets off the boxcar then move these pallets into the storeroom with the fork truck we already own
2
How much could you spend improving this job?
We spend a week, twice a year with 2 temporary workers at $7.5
4 weeks* 40 hours per week*7.5per hour = $1,200
3
Questions:
Should the current method stays the same?
Are there other alternatives?
Is the current method the cheapest in the long run?
How would you justify an expenditure over $3,000
What do you think about cumulative trauma disorders and work-related injuries?
4
Write a report with the answers to your questions.
Include figures, tables, and other sources of information to help justify the project and also answer the questions. You can certainly use the textbook to help you.
Include in your report a list of references and of course cite all your sources of information.
This work MUST be done in teams of 3 people or 2. No individual assignment will be accepted.

HW 5 Math 405. Due beginning of class – Monday, 10 Oct 2016.docxwellesleyterresa
HW 5: Math 405. Due: beginning of class – Monday, 10 Oct 2016
1. Strogatz (1988). Consider lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Let:
R(t) = Romeo’s love/hate for Juliet at time t;
J(t) = Juliet’s love/hate for Romeo at time T;
where positive values of R(t), J(t), signify love, and negative values signify hate, at
a time t. Consider this model for a “fickle” lover, in which “the more Romeo loves
Juliet, the more she wants to run away and hide. But when Romeo gets discouraged
and backs off, Juliet begins to find him strangely attractive. Romeo, on the other
hand, tends to echo Juliet: he warms up when she loves him and grows cold when
she hates him.”
R′(t) = aJ,
J′(t) = −bR, (1)
where a,b > 0 .
(a) Rewrite (1) as a system.
(b) Find the fixed point(s).
(c) Find the eigenvalues.
(d) Find the eigenvectors.
(e) Write the general solution. Show that it can be written as a real-valued solution
like: [
R(t)
J(t)
]
=
{
cos(
√
ab t)
[
k1
√
a/b
k2
]
+ sin(
√
ab t)
[
k2
√
a/b
−k1
]}
(f) Show that the trajectories in phase space are ellipses, governed by the equation
R2
aC2
+
J2
bC2
= 1,
where C2 > 0 is an arbitrary constant.
(g) Classify the fixed point and its stability.
(h) In what direction do Romeo’s and Juliet’s feelings go around the ellipse?
(i) Discuss the possible outcome for different initial conditions of love/hate.
2. (Doug Wright, Drexel U.) Romeo’s best friend, Mercutio, doesn’t like Juliet’s fick-
leness and thinks that Romeo is too good for her. He has decided to try to break
them up for good. So, he has started telling Romeo how awful Juliet is. Romeo
trusts Mercutio, and so, his ardor for Juliet wanes a bit when Mercutio tells him
such things, though he still really likes Juliet. On the other hand, Juliet dislikes
1
Mercutio and the more he disapproves of her relationship with Romeo, the more
she likes Romeo. Let R and J be as before, and let M(t) be Mercutio’s disapproval
of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship at time t, with positive values of M signifying
disapproval. Then a model for this complicated saga is:
R′(t) = J − 2M,
J′(t) = −R + 4M,
M ′(t) = R + 4J (2)
(a) Rewrite (2) as a system.
(b) Find the fixed point(s).
(c) Find the eigenvalues.
(d) Without further calculation, describe what happens to Romeo and Juliet’s
relationship now. Does Mercutio’s tampering have the effect he wants? Do
Romeo and Juliet continue to oscillate between love and hate as before?
3. (Doug Wright, Drexel U.) So, now, it turns out that Mercutio has feelings for
Juliet. Let R(t) be Romeo’s love/hate for Juliet at time t, as before; JR(t) be
Juliet’s love/hate for Romeo at time t; M(t) be Mercutio’s love/hate for Juliet at
time t; and JM (t) be Juliet’s love/hate for Mercutio at time t.
The situation is that:
• Romeo still likes/dislikes Juliet more the more she likes/dislikes him;
• Romeo doesn’t know about the Mercutio/Juliet leg of the triangle, so his
feelings are unaffected by Mercutio’s feelings for Juliet and Juliet’s fe ...

RSA Encryption
In RSA:
– P = E (D(P)) = D(E(P)) (order of D/E does not matter)
– More precisely: P = E(kE, D(kD, P)) = D(kD, E(kE, P))
Encryption: C = Pe mod n KE = e
– n is the key length
– Note, P is turned into an integer using a padding
scheme
– Given C, it is very difficult to find P without knowing

1. (Tadelis p.12) You plan on buying a used car. You have $12,000 and you are not
eligible for any loans. the prices of available cars on the lot are given as follows:
Make, model and year Price
Toyota Corolla 2002 9350
Toyota Camry 2001 10500
Buick Lesabre 2001 8825
Honda Civic 2000 9215
Subaru Impreza 2000 9690
For any given year, you prefer a Camry to an Impreza, an Impreza to a Corolla, a
Corolla to a Civic, and a Civic to a LeSabre. For any given year, you are willing to
pay $999 to move from any given car to the next preferred one. For example, if the
price of the Corolla is z, then you are willing to buy it rather than a Civic if the Civic
costs more than z−999 but prefer the civic if it costs less than this. For any given car,
you are willing to move to a model a year older if it is cheaper by at least $500. For
example, if the price of a 2003 Civic is x, then you are willing to buy it rather than a
2002 Civic, if the 2002 Civic costs more than x−500.
(a) What is your set of possible alternatives?
(b) What are your preferences between each pair of alternatives in your set?
(c) What car would you choose?

Symmetric Information and Competitive

1 Introduction
We are all familiar with the general idea of uncertainty. We are uncertain
about tomorrow’s weather, about whether we will wake up with a headache
tomorrow morning, and about whether someone’s estimate of the labor re-
quired to repair our car is correct. Considerable effort is directed toward
coping with uncertainty. Some farmers have costly irrigation systems in or-
der to make output less dependent on variations in rainfall. And many of
us buy insurance of various sorts to limit our exposure to some kinds of un-
certainty. Moreover, there are government programs like disaster aid and
unemployment insurance that are intended to offset some of the effects of
uncertainty.
Here is an example of the kind of setting we will study. There are N
people labelled 1, 2, ...,N. Rainfall is uncertain and it can either be high or
low, just two possibilities. We denote the level of rainfall by s ∈ {H,L},
where we use the letter s as a shorthand for state or state-of-the-world and
where H stands for high and L for low. We suppose that each person has
some land that will without effort bear a crop of some amount of rice. The
size of the crop will depend on whether rainfall is high or low. For person n,
we denote the size of the rice crop by (wnH,wnL), where wns is the crop on
n’s land if the state is s. We assume that wns > 0, but, otherwise, make no
other special assumptions about it. In particular, we want to assume that
some land does better with high rainfall and other land does better with low
rainfall. If s = H, the total crop is
∑N
n=1 wnH, denoted WH; if s = L, t ...

3.1 Introduction
Learning Objective
Understand how Zara’s parent company Inditex leveraged a technology-enabled strategy to become the world’s largest fashion retailer.
Operating in the northern coastal city of La Coruña (or A Coruña in the local Galician language), Spanish entrepreneur Amancio Ortega was brainstorming names for his new shop and settled on “Zorba” after the classic movie Zorba the Greek. He simply thought it was “a nice name.” Unfortunately, there was a bar with the same name a few blocks away and the bar’s owner was worried patrons would be confused. The molds for the letters for Ortega’s shop had already been cast, so they played around with what they had and came up with “Zara.”[] As it turns out, for Zara it’s technology, not the name, that has made all the difference in its rise to dominate the decidedly ungeeky fashion industry.
Today, Zara is the game-changing crown jewel in the multibrand empire of Inditex Corporation (Industrias de Diseño Textil), the world’s largest pure-play fashion retailer and a firm that’s bigger than Gap, H&M, Topshop, and anyone else in the space. The firm’s supremacy is plotted and executed from “The Cube,” the gleaming, futuristic headquarters located in La Coruña’s Arteixo industrial area. The blend of technology-enabled strategy that Zara has unleashed seems to break all of the rules in the fashion industry. The firm shuns advertising and rarely runs sales. Also, in an industry where nearly every major player outsources manufacturing to low-cost countries, Zara is highly vertically integrated, keeping huge swaths of its production process in-house. These counterintuitive moves are part of a recipe for success that’s beating the pants off the competition and has catapulted Ortega to become the world’s third richest man, ahead of Warren Buffet.
Figure 3.1
Zara’s operations are concentrated in Spain, but they have stores around the world like these in Manhattan and Shanghai.

The firm tripled in size between 1996 and 2000, and then its revenue skyrocketed from $2.43 billion in 2001 to more than $20 billion in 2012. ...

Trusses are …
• Structures designed to support loads:
− Will transmit loads through the joints of the structure
− Will ultimately transmit loads to the foundation
• Cost effective in design because:
− Weight is minimized (weight of members is typically
light compared to loads carried, so it is often
neglected)
− Strength to weight ratio is maximized
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Working with Trusses:
Assumptions
• All loads are applied / transmitted at joints
• All members are joined by pin connections
• Consist entirely of two-force members
(review section 5.4)
• Can contain zero-force members
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Zero-force Members
What are zero-force members?
• Structural members that carry no force
Why do we use them?
• Used to provide stability
– During construction
– If (intermittent) loading of the truss changes
• Shortens chord length and increases
buckling capacity of compression members

HW 2 - SQL The database you will use for this assignme.docxwellesleyterresa
HW 2 - SQL
The database you will use for this assignment contains information related to Major League
Baseball (MLB) about players, teams, and games. The relations are:
Players(playerID, playerName, team, position, birthYear)
● playerID is a player identifier used in MLB, and all players throughout the history of
baseball have a unique ID
● playerName is player’s name
● team is the name of the MLB team the player is currently playing on (or the last team the
player played for if they are not currently playing)
● position is the position of the player
● birthYear is the year that player was born
Teams(teamID, teamName, home, leagueName)
● teamID is a unique ID internal to MLB.
● teamName is the name of the team
● home is the home city of the team
● leagueName is the league the team is in, i.e. either “National” or “American”, which
stands for “National League” and “American League”, respectively
Games(gameID, homeTeamID, guestTeamID, date)
● gameID is a unique ID used internally in MLB
● homeTeamID is the ID of the hometeam
● guestTeamID is the ID of the visiting team
● date is the date of the game.
A sample instance of this database is given at the end of this homework handout. Since it is just
one instance of the database designed to give you some intuition, you should not “customize”
your answer to work only with this instance.
1. (10 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above. (Note: Your queries must not be “state-dependent", that is, they should work without
modification even if another instance of the database is given.)

HURRICANE KATRINA:
A NATION STILL UNPREPARED
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
REPORT OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND
SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS
MAY 2006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hurricane Katrina was an extraordinary act of nature that spawned a human
tragedy. It was the most destructive natural disaster in American history, laying waste to
90,000 square miles of land, an area the size of the United Kingdom. In Mississippi, the
storm surge obliterated coastal communities and left thousands destitute. New Orleans
was overwhelmed by flooding. All told, more than 1500 people died. Along the Gulf
Coast, tens of thousands suffered without basic essentials for almost a week.
But the suffering that continued in the days and weeks after the storm passed did
not happen in a vacuum; instead, it continued longer than it should have because of – and
was in some cases exacerbated by – the failure of government at all levels to plan,
prepare for and respond aggressively to the storm. These failures were not just
conspicuous; they were pervasive. Among the many factors that contributed to these
failures, the Committee found that there were four overarching ones: 1) long-term
warnings went unheeded and government officials neglected their duties to prepare for a
forewarned catastrophe; 2) government officials took insufficient actions or made poor
decisions in the days immediately before and after landfall; 3) systems on which officials
relied on to support their response efforts failed, and 4) government officials at all levels
failed to provide effective leadership. These individual failures, moreover, occurred
against a backdrop of failure, over time, to develop the capacity for a coordinated,
national response to a truly catastrophic event, whether caused by nature or man-made.
The results were tragic loss of life and human suffering on a massive scale, and an
undermining of confidence in our governments’ ability to plan, prepare for, and respond
to national catastrophes.
Effective response to mass emergencies is a critical role of every level of
government. It is a role that requires an unusual level of planning, coordination and
dispatch among governments’ diverse units. Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, this
country went through one of the most sweeping reorganizations of federal government in
history. While driven primarily by concerns of terrorism, the reorganization was designed
to strengthen our nation’s ability to address the consequences of both natural and man-
made disasters. In its first major test, this reorganized system failed. Katrina revealed
that much remains to be done.
The Committee began this investigation of the preparations for and response to
Hurricane Katrina within two weeks of the hurricane’s landfall on the Gulf Coast. The
tragic loss of life and human suffering in Katrina’s wake would have been sufficient in
themselves to compel the Commit ...

Genesis Myth
“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created male and female. He created them. And God blessed them.” (Leonard, Mcclure, 87) Unfortunately, the sentiment that men and women are equals is contradicted several times in the Genesis myth. The Genesis myth has had a negative influence on women’s roles in society that continually have impacts in today’s modern world. The myth describes women’s purpose as being subservient to men, women are easily swayed and manipulated, and that for seeking knowledge, women deserve the painful shame of childbirth. This patriarchal creation myth has played a role in justifying the suppression of equal rights throughout history and is still debated today.
To begin, the sole reason for the creation of woman ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Perspectives on gender development
Eleanor E. Maccoby
Stanford University, California, USA
5. Two traditional perspectives on gender development—the
socialisation and cognitive perspectives—
are reviewed. It is noted that although they deal quite well with
individual differences within each sex
with regard to degree of sex-typing, they do not offer
satisfactory explanations for some of the most
robust gender dimorphisms: namely, gender segregation and the
divergent patterns of interaction
within all-male as compared with all-female dyads or groups.
These patterns are brie�y summarised,
and their similarity to those found in nonhuman primates and
other mammals is noted. It is argued
that an ethological perspective, and its modern successor the
psychobiological perspective, are
needed, along with the more traditional perspectives, to provide
a comprehensive account of gender
development as it occurs in dyads and groups as well as within
individual children.
In the last several decades there have been important shifts in
psychologists’ thinking about gender development. There were
empirical questions �rst of all: In what ways, to what degree,
and how consistently, did boys and girls differ in the
developmental pathways typically taken? And there have been
notable changes in the points of view psychologists have
brought to bear in their efforts to understand and explain
whatever gender differentiation was thought to occur. Two
viewpoints about gender development were dominant for many
years: the socialisation perspective and the gender-cognitive
perspective. These perspectives are �rst described below, and
then their limitations are pointed out, stressing how narrow
these views were concerning the nature of the gender-
differentiated phenomena that need to be understood. The
paper turns then to considering how much an ethological
perspective, when added to the traditional pair, can contribute
towards achieving a more comprehensive view of gender
6. development. Finally, some more recent thinking from
psychobiology is brought to bear in the interests of moving
toward an integration of the several perspectives.
The direct socialisation perspective
At mid century, psychologists asked: By what processes do
children become ‘‘sex-typed?’’ By sex-typing, they usually
meant that children take on the attributes that are typical and/
or valued (expected, normative) for their own sex. In seeking
answers, they worked from the stimulus-response (S-R)
principles of the reinforcement learning theories that domi-
nated the �eld of psychology at that time. From this point of
view, sex-typed behaviours were a set of habits. Boys and girls
would develop different sex-typed habits if socialisation
agents—parents, teachers, older children—reinforced girls for
‘‘feminine’’ behaviours and provided negative consequences
when they displayed behaviours thought to be more appro-
priate for boys. Similarly, boys were thought to be ‘‘shaped’’
toward the version of ‘‘masculine’’ behaviour deemed proper
in the particular society where the children were growing up.
Implicit in this viewpoint is the idea that individual
differences within each sex, and mean differences between the
sexes on any given trait, are essentially re�ections of the same
processes. Thus, it would be assumed that if one aspect of
becoming masculine for a boy is to learn not to cry, then boys
on the average would be subject to more socialisation
pressures, that is, would be told, more often than girls, ‘‘That
didn’t really hurt’’, or ‘‘It’s only a scratch’’, or ‘‘Don’t be a
crybaby’’, or ‘‘Oh, toughen up!’’—and would develop stronger
inhibitions against crying then would girls. At the same time,
some boys would receive stronger, more consistent pressures of
this kind than others, and so some would develop stronger
crying inhibitions, and become more ‘‘masculine’’ than others.
8. mothers, and in becoming masculine would need to distance
themselves from all things feminine. Echoes of this theory are
found in the work of Chodorow (1978). In the 1950s and
1960s, Robert Sears and colleagues (Sears, Maccoby, & Levin,
1957; Sears, Rau, & Alpert, 1965) attempted to integrate S-R
and psychodynamic theories in their studies of the relation-
ships between parental child-rearing practices and the degree
of children’s sex-typing. The results failed to con�rm Freudian
theory. As Sears and colleagues wrote, in summarising their
�ndings: ‘‘The box score for primary identi�cation theory as
an
explanation of gender role is poor’’ (Sears et al., 1965, p. 194).
How well have the assumptions about children of the two
sexes being socialised differently stood up empirically? It is
certainly true that parents give their children sex-typed names,
dress them differently, and decorate their rooms differently.
Also, all languages of the world provide different ways of
speaking about male and female persons. In English and other
Indo-European languages, the sexes are distinguished by
pronouns—he, she, his, hers—which surely facilitates chil-
dren’s learning to code themselves and others as to gender. In
addition, there are distinctive ways of speaking to children that
emphasise stereotypical qualities, such as saying to a four-year-
old ‘‘That’s my sweet little girl’’ or ‘‘There’s my big strong
boy’’. Still, it has proved surprisingly dif�cult to document
differential treatment of boys and girls by their parents,
especially when children are young. Several reviews have
summarised child-rearing practices used by parents with sons
and daughters (mainly in modern Western societies). When it
comes to the traditional dimensions of child rearing (e.g.,
permissiveness, restrictiveness, monitoring, responsiveness,
warmth) few differences have been found in the way parents
deal with sons as compared with daughters (Huston, 1983;
Lytton & Romney, 1991; Maccoby & Jacklin, 1974). Although
it is often assumed that parents react differently to assertive
9. behaviour by sons and daughters, and draw young daughters
into greater emotional closeness with themselves than they do
with young sons, evidence to date does not support these
assumptions. There are some ways in which parents do
consistently differentiate: they do more roughhousing with
sons, offer dolls more often to girls (and toy trucks to boys),
and talk about feelings more with girls (see Maccoby, 1998, for
a summary of studies). And fathers in particular show negative
reactions to any behaviour by their sons that seems effeminate.
Of course, when socialisation differences are found, the
ubiquitous issue of direction of effects arises. Do parents offer
dolls to girls, trucks to boys, because they want their children
to be appropriately ‘‘masculine’’ or ‘‘feminine’’, or because
they have discovered that these are the toys the children prefer?
If they roughhouse more with boys, is this because they have a
stereotypical view of what kind of play boys ought to like, or
because boys actually do like it more than girls and ‘‘train’’
their parents over time to play in ways that boys �nd most
enjoyable? There is good evidence that boys’ and girls’
different initiatives can indeed evoke different reactions from
their parents (see the summary in Maccoby, 1998). But, these
reactions, in their turn, can then in�uence the children, so the
existence of child-to-parent effects do not by any means
preclude parent-to-child effects (Ge et al., 1996; O’Connor,
Deater-Deckard, Fulker, Rutter, & George, 1998).
Experimental studies have been done in which unfamiliar
children are given an arbitrary gender label. In such studies, an
infant is chosen whose sex cannot be easily identi�ed when the
child is dressed. Unfamiliar adults are then offered the
opportunity to interact with the infant, or view the infant on
videotape, the child having been introduced to some of the
subjects as a girl, to others as a boy. The adults’ reactions to the
child, and interpretations of the child’s behaviour, are then
10. recorded. Such studies control for the direction-of-effects
problem, because differential eliciting properties of male and
female infants are ruled out by design. Although early studies
suggested that adults’ reactions and interpretations were
indeed in�uenced by the child’s gender label, a review of 23
gender-labelling studies (Stern & Karraker, 1989) found that
overall effects were quite weak and quite inconsistent from
study to study.
No doubt there are subtle differences in parental treatment
that are not captured in the rather coarse-grained net that
researchers have cast, and certainly what seem to be rather
minor differences can accumulate over many repetitions into
signi�cant in�uences on children. And surely, socialisation
differences would be more apparent in traditional societies
where there are more rigid status differences between men and
women. Still, we would have to say that to date, the
socialisation theory that grew out of the S-R learning
perspective of the mid century and stressed the role of parents
as ‘‘shapers’’ of sex-typed behaviour rests on a weak empirical
foundation.
Of course, a socialisation perspective does not need to focus
so exclusively on parents as the developmental psychology of
the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s tended to do. There were a
number of reasons for this focus. First of all, much of the
research at that time involved infants and children of preschool
age, in families in which few mothers worked outside the home.
Thus it was natural to assume that parents were indeed the
most in�uential socialisation agents. In addition, there was a
pervasive assumption that the early years were a time of great
plasticity, when children were especially subject to ‘‘shaping’’
with respect to characteristics thought to be pervasive and
long-lasting, such as the gendered aspects of the self. In recent
years much more attention has been given to the in�uence of
other socialisation agents, such as out-of-home caregivers,
11. peers, teachers, and coaches, whose positive or negative
reactions to children’s behaviour can provide additional
shaping for children’s sex-role development in ways that can
supplement—or sometimes even contradict—the in�uence of
parents.
In fact, to test a theory of direct socialisation adequately, it
would be necessary not only to demonstrate that socialisation
agents deal differentially with the two sexes, but that these
different socialisation experiences are related to any differences
in developmental trajectories that appear in male and female
children. Much depends, then, on what aspects of gender
enactment are chosen as ‘‘outcomes’’ in efforts to test
socialisation theory. This issue will be considered more fully
below.
The indirect socialisation perspective
Beginning in the 1960s, social learning theory added learning
by imitation (often called modelling) to reinforcement as a
powerful process involved in gender socialisation. In social
learning theory, children were still seen as being shaped by
direct positive and negative reinforcement. But it was also
shown that children could learn vicariously from seeing how

DEVELOPMENT, 2000, 24 (4), 398–406 399
400 MACCOBY / PERSPECTIVES ON GENDER
DEVELOPMENT
other children’s gender-appropriate or gender-inappropriate
behaviour were reacted to by others (Bandura, 1965). Apart
from learning about the consequences of such behaviour,
children could also learn by observation what behaviours were
12. characteristic of each sex. And of course, they could learn these
things not only from what they observed within their families,
schools, and neighbourhoods, but from �lms or TV, or as
depicted in stories (Mischel, 1966). The introduction of
observational learning gave great added power to learning
theory. But it also brought some complications. In daily life,
boys and girls are exposed to models of both sexes. Both boys
and girls presumably would learn the same facts concerning
what behaviour is appropriate for boys, what for girls. The
theory called for selective imitation, such that boys would adopt
behaviour depicted by male models, or adapt their own
behaviour according to the reinforcement patterns they saw
being provided for male, rather than female, children. At the
least, this required that children would know their own gender
and that of the people whom they observed. Then too, it
required that children should be able to summarise and
generalise from multiple exemplars, and deal with exceptions.
In addition, it called for some motivation to adopt the
behaviour patterns of people who are ‘‘the same as me’’ with
respect to gender. Clearly, the theory called for the extensive
incorporation of cognitive elements in gender development.
The cognitive perspective
In the 1970s and 1980s, there was a strong surge of interest in
gender cognitions. Although a cognitive perspective on
developmental processes had been strongly anticipated in
Europe for many decades, it was the ‘‘cognitive revolution’’
that took place in American psychology beginning in the 1960s
that set the stage for an active revision of American views about
child development. Children were increasingly seen not as
passive recipients of socialisation pressures, but as active
selectors and users of information pertinent to their develop-
mental levels and personal goals. And children began to be
seen as developing the capacity to adopt standards, and
regulate their own behaviour in conformity to these standards,
thus contributing to their own socialisation.
13. Vast amounts of information are available to children
concerning the way gender is enacted in the world around
them. In the 1970s, 1980s, and continuing into the 1990s,
research focused heavily on how children acquire knowledge
and develop stereotypes and scripts concerning what is usual,
or considered ‘‘appropriate’’, for people of the two sexes. (See
Ruble & Martin, 1998, for a review.) It became evident that
gender is a highly salient category for children, perhaps because
it is neatly binary, because it is so heavily culturally
emphasised, and because socially ascribed sex and biological
sex are so completely redundant. The distinction, in other
words, is easy to make, and there is good evidence that children
do indeed make it very early in life. Gender categories, once
applied, have been shown to be a convenient hook on which
children can easily hang stereotypes about gender attributes
(Gelman, Coleman, & Maccoby, 1986) and assimilate new
incoming information to these stereotypes. Gender schema
theories introduced in the early 1980s held that children form
cognitive structures that organise their gender knowledge into a
set of expectations that guide and organise their social
perceptions (Bem, 1981; Martin & Halverson, 1981).
Knowledge about the characteristics of the two sexes, and
about the norms for their behaviour, is clearly necessary, but is
it suf�cient by itself to motivate children to adopt socially
prescribed roles and standards? Several hypotheses have been
advanced concerning the ways in which children’s knowledge
of their own gender identity and that of others could function
to set motivational processes in motion:
1. When observing the contingencies that are experienced
by other children, the observer is able to select the
experiences of children of their own sex as most relevant
to inferences about what might happen to themselves.
This allows observational learning to be focused
14. speci�cally on the acquisition of behaviours and stan-
dards that apply differentially to the child’s own sex.
2. Out of a need for cognitive consistency, children want to
adapt themselves (i.e., conform) to what they believe is
appropriate for their own sex. Kohlberg (1966) proposed
that this motivation would not appear until approxi-
mately the age of 5–7, when he thought children achieve
a �rm level of gender constancy. Because Kohlberg
urged the importance of gender constancy, evidence has
accumulated that the functional elements of gender
constancy (namely, identity and stability; see Maccoby,
1990; Ruble & Martin, 1998) are achieved at consider-
ably younger ages than Kohlberg believed.
3. When they have achieved a stable gender identity,
children classify themselves as members of a same-sex
group. They identify with this group, see members of the
other sex as belonging to an outgroup, and want to be
like members of their own-sex group.
These possibilities are not mutually exclusive, and may all
combine to generate the motivation for children to: (a)
selectively imitate same-sex models (if they are known to be
good exemplars of their gender category—see Perry & Bussey,
1979); (b) seek, select, and remember preferentially informa-
tion that is relevant to, and consistent with, children’s own-sex
schemas, and (c) reject, ignore, forget, or distort schema-
inconsistent material (see Ruble & Martin, 1998, for a
summary). With the acquisition of a stable gender identity,
children can also begin to monitor their own behaviour with
reference to a self-accepted standard of what is appropriate for
their own sex (Bussey & Bandura, 1992).
The socialisation and cognitive perspectives discussed so far
combine into a kind of social constructivist approach. Insofar
15. as children of the two sexes are found to differ in their
behaviour, interests and/or value, it is thought that this
differentiation comes about for three reasons: because adults
shape children in this way; because peers shape each other
according to the way they themselves have been socialised; and
because children—once they have established a �rm gender
identity—socialise themselves to conform to what they know to
be stereotypical for children of their own sex, within the limits
of what their own competencies permit (Bandura & Bussey,
1999).
Sometimes, the use of the word ‘‘stereotypes’’ is taken to
mean that attributes assimilated to social categories are
arbitrary, so that our concepts about the two sexes may be
quite arti�cial or distorted. How accurate are our gender
stereotypes? In their review, Deaux and LaFrance (1998) note
that it is hardly possible to check the reality base of some of our
stereotypes, because they refer to characteristics that are very
dif�cult to measure objectively. People’s beliefs about certain
attributes of the two sexes that can be objectively assessed,
however, turn out to be quite accurate (e.g., that women are
more involved than men in the care of young children). This
work has been done with adults, and we can only assume that
the accuracy of children’s gender stereotypes would improve
with age, as they accumulate information about a larger and
larger sample of exemplars.
At the end of the 20th century, then, a predominant
perspective on gender development is a dual one focusing on
individual differences. Its central themes are that children will
differ in the degree to which they become sex-typed as a result
of: (a) the strength of the socialisation pressures they have
experienced; and (b) the nature and coherence of their gender
16. schemas—their knowledge about the characteristics stereo-
typically associated with each sex, and about what the social
expectations are for persons of their own sex. Of course,
socialisation and cognitive factors in gender development are
not truly distinct. For example, socialisation pressures are one
source of information enabling children to develop their
knowledge concerning the gendered norms that they are
expected to adopt. The direct socialisation experiences
children have, in other words, constitute a major source of
information upon which cognitive structures are built. Indeed,
the whole cultural milieu in which a child grows up presents to
children an array of cultural beliefs and practices concerning
gender, and when children draw on these to construct their
gender schemas, it can reasonably be said that they are being
socialised by the surrounding culture into becoming co-
practitioners of these cultural forms.
An emphasis on cognitive and socialisation factors by no
means precludes a recognition of possible biological in�uences
that may generate different predispositions in boys and girls.
Nowadays, there is widespread recognition of the importance
of biological factors. However, as biological sex and socially
ascribed gender are so completely redundant, it has proved
dif�cult to tease them apart. Something is known concerning
sex differences in brain structures and functions. For example,
in males, more functions are lateralised, so that they are
associated with activation primarily in one hemisphere of the
brain, whereas in females, the two hemispheres are more likely
to be both activated for a speci�c function. However, the
possible behavioural impacts of these structural differences are
far from being understood. A good deal is known concerning
the physiological events during gestation that differentiate the
genital structures of male and female fetuses. And we know,
too, something about the way in which prenatal hormones
organise the developing fetal brain so as to create different
propensities and sensitivities in the two sexes—tendencies
17. which will manifest themselves behaviourally at various times
during postnatal development, perhaps requiring either a
biological or environmental trigger for their activation.
As noted above, most accounts of gender development do
note possible biological underpinnings for some of the gender
differentiation that occurs. And there is considerable interest in
taking biological explanations one step backward to the genetic
factors that may control biological differentiation. But we are a
long way from having traced pathways from genes to the
behavioural attributes that typically differentiate the sexes. In
psychology, the great bulk of work has been concerned with the
social and cognitive factors that are thought to underlie this
differentiation, over and above what any biological predisposi-
tions may call for.
Limitations of these perspectives
In the 1980s and 1990s, it began to be evident that these
perspectives were not serving well, on the whole. First of all, it
was increasingly clear that sex differences in children’s
psychological attributes as usually measured were not sub-
stantial, and �ndings were inconsistent from one study to
another. Focusing on individual variation along dimensions
such as ‘‘masculinity’’, ‘‘femininity’’, ‘‘androgyny’’, or
‘‘degree
of sex-typing’’ was not turning out to be a strategy that
accounted for much variance in behavioural outcomes.
Although this might mean that gender simply is not an
important factor in children’s daily lives, it could also mean
that gender matters only in certain contexts, so that aggregat-
ing across contexts attenuates gender-related phenomena that
are in fact quite strong. If so, it would appear that research
should turn to studies of moderating contexts. And, in
addition, look for gender-related outcome variables that are
more robust than ‘‘sex-typing’’ as we have measured it with
toy- or activity-preference tests or clusters of personality traits.
18. The socialisation and cognitive perspectives have proved
disappointing in another respect: Empirical tests have failed to
give consistent support for the predicted connections between
processes and outcomes. As noted above, the similarities in the
ways socialisation agents treat boys and girls far outweigh the
differences. Still, some differences are found. Ruble and
Martin’s comprehensive review of studies examining connec-
tions between differential socialisation and sex-typed outcomes
shows very meagre relationships. They say: ‘‘Although adults
and peers treat boys and girls differently in many ways,
especially concerning activities and interests, the role of these
processes in children’s gender-related preferences and
behaviors
remains to be demonstrated’’ (Ruble & Martin, 1998, p. 982).
In a similar vein, they note that variations among children in
the level of their knowledge of gender stereotypes are generally
unconnected to individual differences in sex-typed behaviour
(e.g., Powlishta, 1995). This is by no means a fatal blow to
cognitive theories of gender development, because in many
respects gender cognitions are important in their own right,
regardless of how and whether they ‘‘drive’’ individual
differences in sex-typed behaviour. Furthermore, children’s
understanding of gender identity—their own and that of other
people—does appear to be somewhat connected to other
aspects of gender development early in life. However, under-
standing of gender identity is virtually complete in most
children by the age of about 3, and hence (as it varies so little)
cannot correlate with individual differences in sex-typing that
emerge after approximately the �rst three years of life.
Similarly, in some contexts and at some ages, there is very
little individual variation in the choice of same-sex playmates,
so that this aspect of sex-typing cannot be predicted from
individual cognitive or personality characteristics.
19. Clearly, a rethinking of the long-dominant perspectives
described above is in order, and has begun. A major
reorientation is a shift away from a focus on individual
differences in outcomes, and an increasing focus on some
robust outcomes for groups—gender effects which might
appear primarily, or only, in certain speci�c social contexts.
Robust gender phenomena in the context of groups
What might these outcomes and contexts be? Indications
began to emerge in the late 1970s that the answer could be

DEVELOPMENT, 2000, 24 (4), 398–406 401
402 MACCOBY / PERSPECTIVES ON GENDER
DEVELOPMENT
found in the context of pairs or larger groups of children
engaged in social interaction. Jacklin and Maccoby (1978)
observed 92 pairs of previously unacquainted children, all close
to 33 months of age, as they interacted with each other and
with toys. Tallies were kept of the instances of social
behaviours (both positive and negative, verbal and nonverbal)
each child directed toward his/her partner. Some of the pairs
were composed of two boys, some of two girls, and some were
mixed-sex pairs. Results were that children of both sexes
directed about twice as much social behaviour toward partners
who were of their own sex as they did to other-sex partners.1 It
is notable that when data were computed without regard to the
sex of the child’s partner, boys and girls displayed virtually
identical levels of social behaviour. In other words, there was
no overall sex difference in a personality dimension that might
be called ‘‘sociability’’. This �nding underlines the fact that
analyses which look only at the behaviour of individual
20. children without regard to social context can totally obscure
powerful gender phenomena. It is no surprise, then, that many
simple comparisons between boys and girls have shown sex
differences to be weak or absent. Theorists who have
emphasised the importance of context, and variations in the
salience of gender from one context to another, might rightly
see the �ndings of the Jacklin and Maccoby study as a
vindication of their position. But there is something very
speci�c about the context that turned out to be important in
this work: It was the sex of a child’s interactive partner that
mattered, not context construed as environmental setting or
prior priming conditions. The study points to the importance
of group composition, and/or of relationships, in how gender is
enacted.
Astudy of preschoolers, conducted at about the same time,
helps us to understand the above �ndings. Wasserman and
Stern (1978) laid down a strip of carpet on a playroom �oor,
and asked a child (sometimes a boy, sometimes a girl) to stand
quietly at one end of it. Another child was then placed at the
‘‘starting’’ end of the strip, and asked to walk along it to the
standing child. It turned out that children would walk up quite
close to the standing child, facing directly forward, if the
standing child was of their own sex. Approaching an other-sex
child, however, both boys and girls would turn away as they
approached and stop sooner. Notably, this occurred whether
they were acquainted with the standing child or not, indicating
that we are seeing here a form of other-sex avoidance that is not
driven by previous experience with another child, but rather by
the other child’s membership in a gender category.
Perhaps we are seeing here an instance of the kind of self-
regulation pointed to by cognitive social learning theorists, in
which a child recognises the sex of another child, knows that it
is considered inappropriate to associate with children of the
other sex, and hence inhibits the approach to the other child. It
21. appears, though, that children begin to show cross-sex
avoidance at such a young age that they may not yet be able
to code their own gender identity and that of other children
reliably and explicitly. In traditional theories, there has never
been a claim that the cognitions involved are conscious or
deliberate, but still, gender-cognitive processes are assumed to
occur at some level. An alternative possibility is that there is
simply an uncognised raw emotion connected with gender
categories. The early paper by Zajonc: ‘‘Feeling and thinking:
Preferences need no inferences’’ (1980) presented evidence
that indeed preferences (liking/disliking, approach/avoidance)
can be primary, immediate, without (or prior to) activation of
related cognitions. Recent writings by Panksepp (1998), stress
not only the immediacy of emotional reactions, but their deep
mammalian origins. ‘‘Primal’’ emotions, including affective
reactions to certain characteristics of same- or other-sex
conspeci�cs, are claimed to be instinctive and species-wide.
Given a pattern of wariness toward children of the other sex,
and/or especial interest in, or compatibility with, own-sex other
children, it is predictable that when children have a choice of
playmates, they will congregate in same-sex pairs or groups. In
childhood, there is a clear pattern of cross-sex avoidance and/
or same-sex preference that begins in about the third year of
life and becomes progressively stronger though middle child-
hood. Children’s tendency to congregate socially with others of
their own sex has long been noted in the developmental
literature, and has been thoroughly documented, in a variety of
cultures and subcultures (see Hartup, 1983; Maccoby &
Jacklin, 1987; and Ruble & Martin, 1998, for reviews). In
modern Western societies, it is manifested most strongly in
situations not structured by adults, though in more traditional
societies the structures adults provide for children certainly
contribute to it. The phenomenon of gender segregation in
childhood is remarkably robust, with very little overlap, by the
22. age of 5 or 6, between the distributions of the two sexes with
respect to the gender of the other children with whom they
spend their free social time (Maccoby, 1998).
The students of gender segregation have been concerned
with the factors that bring it about (see Leaper, 1994) and with
the implications for how gender development should be
studied. Clearly, one implication of gender segregation is that
it is important to continue to study and understand the nature
of the group processes that occur in all-male as compared to
all-female dyads or groups, sustaining the progress that has
already been made in this work. There is now considerable
evidence that the groups or dyads formed by girls, as compared
with boys, differ with respect to the agendas they enact, and in
their prevailing interaction ‘‘styles’’. The nature of these
differences has been summarised elsewhere (Maccoby, 1998;
Ruble & Martin, 1998). Here it is suf�cient to note a few
dominant trends:
1. The themes that appear in boys’ fantasies, in the stories
they invent, the scenarios they enact when playing with
other boys, and the �ctional fare they prefer (books and
TV) involve danger, con�ict, destruction, heroic actions,
and trials of physical strength. Girls’ fantasy and play
themes tend to be oriented around domestic or romantic
scripts, portraying characters who are involved in social
relationships and depicting the maintenance or restora-
tion of order and safety.
2. Interaction among boys, more often than among girls,
involves rough-and-tumble play, competition, con�ict,
ego displays, risk-taking, and striving for dominance.
Girls, by contrast, are more responsive to the inputs of
their interactive partners, more likely to use suggestions
rather than imperative demands, and more likely to
construct collaborative scripts in which the actions of
23. play characters are reciprocal (see Leaper, 1991, on girls’
collaborative discourse style). This does not imply that
girls do not assert their own objectives, or that their
interactions are con�ict-free, only that they seek their

ranging in age
from 19 to 39 months (Lloyd & Smith, 1986).
individual goals in the context of also striving to maintain
group harmony (see Sheldon, 1992).
3. Girls’ and boys’ friendships are qualitatively different,
girls’ friendships being more intimate in the sense that
friends share information about the details of their lives
and concerns, whereas boys typically know less about
their friends’ lives and base their friendships on shared
activities. The break-up of girls’ friendships is more
emotionally intense than for boys’ friendships.
By age 6, too, boys typically play in larger groups.
Benenson, Apostolaris, and Parnass (1997) showed, in a study
of same-sex six-child groups, that between the ages of 4 and 6,
boys greatly increased the time they spent in coordinated group
activities, so that by the age of 6, they were spending 74% of
their time in such activities. No such increase occurred for
girls, whose coordinated group activities dropped below 20%
of their time at age 6. And, girls have been found to show more
enjoyment than boys when engaged in dyadic interaction
(Benenson, 1993), whereas this differential is not found for
interaction in larger groups. Girls, too, are found to sustain
longer bouts of interaction in dyads than do boys. In other
words, girls actively seek, prefer, and elaborate dyadic
interactions, whereas boys do not appear to �nd such
24. interactions to be especially gratifying, and instead gravitate
toward coordinated activities carried out in larger groups.
There is evidence, too, that boys’ groups are not only larger,
but also stronger in some sense, that is, more cohesive, with
stronger ingroup identi�cation and stronger boundaries, in the
sense of more strongly excluding both girls and adults (see
Maccoby, 1998, for an elaboration of these processes).
The fact that boys congregate in larger groups has important
implications. When in dyads, children of both sexes are
relatively noncompetitive, and more emotionally supportive
of their interactive partners, than they are when participating in
larger groups (see Benenson, Nicholson, Waire, Roy, &
Simpson, in press), something that was noted many years
ago in interactions among adults (Bales & Borgotta, 1955).
Can it be, then, that the greater competitiveness and lesser
positive intimacy in male-male interaction can be accounted
for by boys’ being more often in larger play groups?Perhaps so,
but the fact that they congregate in larger groups may itself be a
re�ection of their preference for certain forms of competitive
but coordinated activity that can only be performed in larger
groups. Indeed, boys form coalitions to achieve group goals—
and gain group power thereby—to an extent that girls seldom
do.
The above account suggests that the two sexes are pursuing
different agendas in their same-sex groups. But children in
groups are not always engaged in enacting these differentiated
agendas, and when they are not, male-male and female-female
interactions can be much alike. It should be noted, too, that
researchers have not yet spelled out the developmental time-
line for these aspects of gender differentiation. Thus, although
there is reason to have a good deal of con�dence in their
occurrence, it is not yet clear how they wax and wane, and
whether there are privileged sequences such that some
processes need to occur before others can come into play.
25. The ethological perspective
Ethology originally referred to the study of animal behaviour,
and a guiding perspective in ethological research was an
evolutionary one. The principle of natural selection was
invoked to explain species-wide adaptive behaviours, such that
each animal species was equipped to survive in its particular
environmental niche. As the perspective began to be applied to
human behaviour, it was of great interest to trace similarities
between humans and nonhuman primates, their closest
relatives on the evolutionary tree. In the 1950s and 1960s,
John Bowlby (1969) drew on the work of Harlow (1961) and
Hinde (1966) to show striking resemblances between the
patterns of attachment behaviour in human infants or toddlers
and what was seen in young monkeys and apes. In the 1970s,
work by Blurton-Jones (1972) and Strayer (1977; Strayer &
Strayer, 1978) focused on patterns of children’s play, social
dominance, aggression, and peer af�liation, identifying further
parallels with the young of nonhuman primates.
In observing sex differences in behaviours of this kind,
ethologists do not look for generalised ‘‘trait’’ differences, but
rather for the situations under which a difference does or does
not appear, and the form the behaviour takes. It would not be
meaningful to an ethologist, for example, to ask whether male
ungulates are more aggressive than female ungulates. Rather,
they would note that both males and females attack predators,
and do so in the same way: with their hooves. Only males,
however, �ght over territory and mates, and they use their
horns, rather than their hooves, to attack or threaten other
males. In a similar way, in studying human children,
ethologists look for speci�c behavioural topography, and
speci�c contexts in which sex differentiation is seen. Striking
parallels between human children and the young of other
primates have indeed been found, and this fact has been
26. interpreted as pointing to evolved, genetically guided under-
pinnings for certain elements of human behaviour. The
evolutionary history of human development continues to be a
matter of great interest up to the present time (see Geary &
Bjorklund, 2000, for a review). Throughout, thinkers involved
in this work have been concerned with what adaptive purpose
an evolved behaviour pattern might serve.
In what way might an evolutionary perspective be pertinent
to gender development? Most evolutionary adaptations, after
all, are seen as species-wide, occurring in both sexes. However,
in bisexual species, the distinctive roles of the two sexes in
reproduction is thought to have produced different adaptive
behaviours (i.e., different strategies for mate selection, and
differential involvement in the rearing of young). With respect
to these domains, then, the two sexes are seen as distinct
subspecies.
Might evolution have anything to do with gender differ-
entiation that occurs in childhood, before the age when the
activities of mate selection and care of offspring emerge? The
fact that young monkeys and apes separate into same-sex
playgroups, and display some of the same sex-differentiated
playstyles as those seen in human children, strongly suggests
that there is indeed an evolutionary basis for these behaviours.
So does the fact that there appears to be substantial uniformity
in these patterns across human cultures. Geary and Bjorklund
(2000) say: ‘‘From an evolutionary perspective, these sex
differences are predicted to be a re�ection of and a preparation
for sex differences in adult reproductive activities’’ (p. 60).
Thus, boys’ competitiveness and dominance strivings are seen
as preparation for adult male competition over mates, whereas
girls’ greater social responsiveness and cooperativeness with
other girls can be seen as preparation for participation in the
kin-based social groups of females in which most rearing of
27. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL
DEVELOPMENT, 2000, 24 (4), 398–406 403
404 MACCOBY / PERSPECTIVES ON GENDER
DEVELOPMENT
the young occurs, in nonhuman primates as well as—
presumably—in the hunter-gatherer bands where some under-
pinnings of present-day human characteristics evolved.
In what possible way could sex segregation in childhood
serve an adaptive purpose, from the standpoint of the
subsequent successful reproductive activities as adults? One
hypothesis is: It functions to prevent incest, with its attendant
risks for expression, in offspring, of genetic defects carried on
recessive genes (see Maccoby, 1998, and Wolf, 1995, for
elaboration and evidence). According to this account, humans
are predisposed to lose sexual interest in anyone with whom
they have been closely associated in childhood, such as siblings
and other close relatives. Thus, paradoxical though it may
seem, cross-sex avoidance in childhood can be seen as a means
of fostering or safeguarding future heterosexual attraction.
It is more dif�cult to see how some of the other sex-
differentiated patterns we have noted might contribute to
individual reproductive success and viability of an individual’s
offspring. Rather, it would seem timely to expand the
ecological perspective to include group success, group viability.
Among chimpanzees, and in the human societies closest to the
way our ancestors probably lived (Collier & Risaldo, 1981),
males form coalitions to engage in cooperative group hunting
and group warfare,2 enterprises not directly related to
individual reproductive success, but relevant to survival of
the troupe. Some of the processes seen in boys’ groups, then,
28. may have the function of regulating hostility and competition
among group members in the interests of allowing cooperative
group enterprises to emerge.
The psychobiological perspective
The ethological perspective largely describes instinctive ele-
ments in a species’ behavioural repertoire (i.e., behavioural
dispositions assumed to be governed directly by evolved
genetic programmes). From this perspective, individual life
experience and environmental contexts have little in�uence,
other than to provide the innate environmental triggers
required to ‘‘release’’ an instinctive behaviour. In fact,
however, there are many aspects of the environment, other
than innate releasers, that function jointly with genetic factors
to in�uence behavioural development. Many years of research
have revealed that the way genetic instructions are carried out
depends on environmental inputs at every stage of develop-
ment from conception to maturity.
The modern psychobiological view is that genes (G) and
environment (E) have a bidirectional, reciprocal relationship,
and cannot properly be understood as separate components
whose effects can be independently estimated and then
compared or summed (Gottlieb, Wahlsten, and Lickliter,
1998). G E interactions are widespread, and recent work has
begun to �ll in the gap between genes and behavioural
outcomes, by showing how both environment (e.g., conditions
of rearing) and an allele of a given gene can affect a speci�c
intervening biochemical process, which then in�uences beha-
vioural outcomes (Anisman, Zaharia, Meany, & Merali, 1998;
Suomi, in press; and see Maccoby, 2000, for a summary). The
role of environment, as it interacts with genetic predispositions,
is much more complex than simply providing a releaser for an
instinctive response. In both rodents and primates, it has been
shown that animals coming from different genetic strains will
29. manifest their different predispositions only under certain early
rearing conditions (i.e., being deprived of contact with
maternal animals or peers—see Hood & Cairns, 1989; Suomi,
1997). And for some songbirds, a young male will not acquire
the species-speci�c male courting song unless he is reared in
the company of older females, who ‘‘train’’ him by responding
selectively to the elements of song that females of the species
�nd most compelling (West & King, in press).
Conditions of rearing matter, too, in how different the two
sexes become. Wallen (1996) has summarised a series of
studies with rhesus monkeys, showing that males display
elevated levels of threat/aggression toward other animals if they
were earlier raised with only limited access to peers, whereas
such limited access increases the amount of submissive, not
aggressive, behaviour in females. For males, the amount of
rough play is also affected by the social conditions of rearing,
although for females, the level of such play remains low
regardless of conditions of rearing. When females are
prenatally exposed to androgens (late in gestation, or over an
extended period), they subsequently show elevated levels of
rough play, although there is no such effect for males. Clearly,
both biology and conditions of rearing are important, but
differently for the two sexes. Wallen notes that it is the sex-
dimorphic behaviours most strongly affected by prenatal
hormones in a given sex that show the least effects of rearing
conditions for that sex. And he concludes: ‘‘These studies
demonstrate that the expression of consistent juvenile beha-
vioral sex differences results from hormonally induced predis-
positions to engage in speci�c patterns of juvenile behavior
whose expression is shaped by the speci�c social environment
experienced by the developing monkey’’ (Wallen, 1996,
p. 364).
Humans are very different from birds, mice, and monkeys,
but nevertheless there are useful parallels here. We see that
30. whatever differential predispositions boys and girls may have, it
is likely that the way they are enacted will depend greatly on
the
social conditions provided by the adults and peers with whom
they interact. Societies differ with respect to how much time
children of each sex spend with adults, with peers of their own
sex, and with peers or siblings of the other sex. They also differ
with respect to how much autonomy peer groups have at what
developmental periods. These cultural variations may be
expected to produce variations in the degree and kind of sex
differentiation that appears as children grow up in different
societies.
Integrating perspectives
The above account is meant to show that there is a good case
for including the ethological and psychobiological perspectives
in any attempt to understand gender differentiation in child-
hood. These perspectives are not meant to replace the
socialisation and cognitive perspectives, only to enrich them
by expanding our view of how biological and experiential and
cognitive factors work together when it comes to the enactment
of gender.
The two biological perspectives are especially useful in
helping us to understand any characteristics where between-
sex differences are robust and consistent across cultures and
even across species. However, there is considerable variation
within each sex and among cultural groups in the nature of
2 For information on male hunting and warfare in chimpanzees,

31. gendered behaviour displayed and the contexts in which it
appears. Although some boys, for example, establish a network
of good male friends, and participate actively in male group
activities, others are loners or peripheral ‘‘hangers-on’’ to these
groups, and still others are the victims of teasing and
humiliation by other boys. Some children join peer groups
that are basically prosocial, others associated mainly with
same-sex peers who engage in risky, antisocial behaviour.
Among girls, too, there is variation in how fully they participate
in ‘‘girl culture’’, and in how much interest they have in less
‘‘feminine’’ activities such as team sports. There is evidence
that these individual differences re�ect developed differences
in competencies or vulnerabilities acquired at earlier periods of
development—differences which in their turn undoubtedly
re�ect both within-sex genetic variability and individual
socialisation histories. Thus, the socialisation and cognitive
perspectives should be especially pertinent to the under-
standing of such within-sex variation.
In the last century, there have been substantial changes in
gender roles and the relationships between the sexes, changes
that have occurred much too rapidly to be explained in genetic
terms. These changes underscore how large the social factors
are in such matters as the relative dominance and power of the
two sexes, and make it clear that these matters are indeed open
to change and not built in to human nature as a result of our
species evolution. The above review has suggested that male
power in society stems in no small degree from male groups
and male alliances, despite the internal con�icts and competi-
tion that characterise male interaction. The paradox is this: We
have seen that girls and women have especially strong
interactive skills that support collaboration and cooperation
in their close relationships. Yet, women’s social groupings do
not appear to yield power in out-of-home contexts to the extent
that men’s do. Perhaps it will be possible to gain insight into
32. this issue with more focused developmental research on the
way power is exercised within same-sex groups and between
the sexes.
The fuller incorporation of the ethological and psychobio-
logical perspectives on gender into our existing frameworks
should enrich the research agenda of students of social
development. More detailed observation of children in groups
is called for, with more attention to the agendas that children of
the two sexes seem motivated to enact, and more careful
delineation of how gender-related patterns change with age. Of
especial interest are the changes that occur in gender
enactment during the transition into adolescence. Useful cues
for how such work can be carried out comes from pioneers in
neighbouring disciplines (e.g., the sociologists Maltz & Borker,
1982 and Barrie Thorne, 1986; and sociolinguist Penelope
Eckert, 1996, 2000).
Developmental psychology is in the process of building a
coherent social psychology of childhood. Considerable atten-
tion has been focused on individual children as members of
groups—their acceptance or rejection by peers, their group
entry skills—and the causes and consequences of individual
variation in these things. In addition, there has been some work
on the nature of groups, apart from the individuals who make
them up. In their comprehensive review, Rubin, Bukowski, and
Parker (1998) distinguish group processes from the interac-
tions that occur within dyadic relationships, noting that groups
can have properties that individuals and dyads cannot have
(e.g., hierarchies, density of relationships, norms). Studies of
‘‘crowds’’ and ‘‘cliques’’ (e.g., Brown, 1990) underscore the
importance of shared norms in the in�uence peer groups have
on their members, and Kinderman (1993) has shown that a
group can have its own identity over and above the identity of
its members, that is, a group norm persists throughout a school
33. year despite considerable turnover in the membership of the
group. It is time for gender to take a more central place than it
has occupied so far in such work, with more consistent
attention to the gender composition of dyads and groups. Only
with this knowledge in hand will we be able to understand the
role of peers as gender-socialisation agents, and the way in
which children build shared gender cognitions that can serve
either to amplify or dampen the gender differentiation of roles
and status.
