Social influences on sexuality
1) Society and the media influence people's views of sexuality through stereotypes and portrayals of gender and sexuality.
2) Sexuality includes gender identity, sexual orientation and sexual acts. However, society often judges and stigmatizes those who do not conform to stereotypical expectations.
3) Religions also influence views of sexuality, with some strongly prohibiting certain sexual acts or orientations. This can lead to negative feelings about one's sexuality.
Sexual orientation
Sexual orientation describes a person's enduring pattern of emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to another gender or genders. It is generally divided into heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual. Sexual orientation involves feelings and identity and may not be evident in appearance or behavior, as people may experience attractions they do not act on. Most experts agree that sexual orientation results from a combination of factors and is not a choice that can be changed, though some people hide or suppress their orientation.
Child and Adolescent Sexual and Gender Identity Development (UMass Lowell 2...
This document discusses gender and sexual identity development from infancy through late adolescence. It begins with conversations between a social worker and a small child exploring gender identity. It then introduces the Genderbread model for understanding gender identity, gender expression, sex, and sexual orientation. The rest of the document outlines typical developmental milestones and behaviors regarding gender and sexuality at each life stage from infancy through late adolescence. Interactive exercises are included to help illustrate concepts.
Gender
Gender refers to the psychological sense of maleness or femaleness related to one's culture or society, whereas sex refers to biological attributes. Gender development involves learning gender roles and stereotypes from a young age through socialization. Gender identity forms between ages 2-3 and involves identifying as male or female, while gender constancy develops at ages 6-7 with the understanding that gender is permanent. Gender stereotyping can be positive or negative, but is inherently harmful as it reduces individuals to narrow roles and leads to making assumptions about people based on their gender.
heterosexuality
Heterosexuality refers to romantic or sexual attraction between persons of opposite sex or gender. It involves enduring patterns of attraction, behaviors expressing attraction, and a sense of identity within a community of others who share these attractions. Biologically, heterosexuality may relate to prenatal hormone exposure and levels of androgen receptors. Psychologically, heterosexuality describes patterns of emotional, romantic and sexual attraction to the opposite sex. Historically and socially, heterosexuality is often linked to nuclear family formation and religious traditions view marriage as reserved for heterosexual unions.

Gender sensitization and enabling relationships
This document discusses gender sensitization and healthy relationships on college campuses. It aims to ensure girls are not sexually harassed, emphasize enabling interactions among students, and clarify responsibilities for a non-discriminatory environment. It defines gender and sex, noting gender is socially constructed while sex is biological. It discusses positive sexuality being consensual and respectful, while negative sexuality involves violence, harassment or exploitation.

gender study
This study examined whether emotional vulnerability leads women and men to confirm gender stereotypes. Fifty-nine couples were randomly assigned to discuss topics that did or did not induce feelings of vulnerability. When vulnerability was high, men's behaviors aligned more with traditional masculine stereotypes. Women's behaviors were not significantly affected. The findings provide support for social role theory, which proposes that people are more likely to behave in gender-stereotypical ways when performing social roles associated with their gender.
Gendered Ethics
This document discusses research on the relationship between gender and ethical perspectives. Some key points:
- Previous research has found that women tend to choose ethical options over unethical ones more often than men.
- The author conducted an experiment that found a relationship between gender identity (masculine, feminine, androgynous) and preference for different ethical perspectives (care-focused or justice-focused).
- Those with feminine gender identities tended to prefer care-focused ethical perspectives, while masculine and androgynous participants favored justice-focused perspectives.
- This provides some support for theories that gender influences how people approach ethical decision-making. However, more research is still needed to fully understand this relationship.

Gender and sexuality
What’s the difference?
· Sex refers to a person’s biological status and is typically categorized as male, female, or intersex (i.e., atypical combinations of features that usually distinguish male from female). There are a number of indicators of biological sex, including sex chromosomes, gonads, internal reproductive organs, and external genitalia.
· Gender refers to the attitudes, feelings, and behaviors that a given culture associates with a person’s biological sex. Behavior that is compatible with cultural expectations is referred to as gender-normative; behaviors that are viewed as incompatible with these expectations constitute gender non-conformity.
· Sexual orientation refers to the sex of those to whom one is sexually and romantically attracted. Categories of sexual orientation typically have included attraction to members of one’s own sex (gay men or lesbians), attraction to members of the other sex (heterosexuals), and attraction to members of both sexes (bisexuals). While these categories continue to be widely used, research has suggested that sexual orientation does not always appear in such definable categories and instead occurs on a continuum (e.g., Kinsey, Pomeroy, Martin, & Gebhard, 1953; Klein, 1993; Klein, Sepekoff, & Wolff, 1985; Shiveley & DeCecco, 1977) In addition, some research indicates that sexual orientation is fluid for some people; this may be especially true for women (e.g., Diamond, 2007; Golden, 1987; Peplau & Garnets, 2000).

1. Pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry, with the average age of first exposure being 11 years old. 2. Pornography can negatively impact relationships and promote unhealthy attitudes towards sex and women. It has been linked to issues like sex addiction, decreased intimacy, and an increased tolerance to violent or abusive behavior. 3. Factors like childhood experiences, lack of emotional fulfillment, and unresolved trauma or shame can contribute to issues like infidelity, sex addiction, and an unhealthy dependence on pornography in men. Treatment aims to address the underlying causes of these behaviors.
Ds 2203 01 conceptualization of gender and other basic concepts
Sex refers to the physical and biological traits used to classify people as male, female or intersex. Gender refers to the social and cultural roles, behaviors and identities associated with being a man, woman, or gender non-conforming. Key terms in gender and development include sex-disaggregated data, which separates data by sex, gender norms which are societal expectations of masculinity and femininity, and gender identity which is one's inner sense of belonging to a particular gender. Gender awareness in development means addressing both women and men's specific needs and strengths and involving them as participants and decision-makers.

Human sexual behavior is based on physiology and psychology. Physiological basis, that is, the regulation and control of sex hormones in receptors, is also affected by many other factors such as physical conditions and drugs. On the other hand, human sexual behavior is influenced and controlled by psychological, social and cultural factors. In a certain social and historical context, human sexual behavior usually conforms to the social concept of sex at that time. Throughout history, society's attitude towards sex is like a continuum. One end of the spectrum is based on the attitude of sexual imprisonment and strict control of sexual behavior, while the other end is based on the attitude of sexual indulgence, sexual liberation and advocating complete sexual freedom. These two extreme attitudes are harmful to people's physical and mental health and the healthy development of society. Sexual psychology is to study the influence of the development of human sexual behavior and sexual civilization on modern human sexual behavior from the psychological point of view, theory and method, and to study human sexual physiological development, sexual psychological development, gender role socialization process, marriage, family and sexual health, etc. Sexual psychology refers to the psychological state and process related to sexual characteristics, sexual desire and sexual behavior on the basis of sexual physiology. It also includes the psychological state of communication with the opposite sex, marriage and love. Sexual physiology is the biological basis of the development of sexual psychology. The obstacles or defects in the development of sexual physiology will make the development of sexual psychology deviate. Sexual mental health is an important part of human health that can not be ignored, and it is getting more and more attention.
The difference between sexual orientation and gender identity is that sexual orientation is a kind of sexual preference that has nothing to do with gender. It refers to the tendency of physical and psychological impulses caused by what kind of people you are attracted to, who you like to have intimate sex with and which type of people. For example, they prefer men, women, fat, thin, tall or short and so on. Under this big concept, including what we usually call homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality and so on. It is generally believed that sexual orientation is not a subjective and deliberate choice. The reasons may include many factors, including heredity, psychology and environment. Gender identity is the subjective feeling of self psychology: "I am a man, or a.

What factors affect the quality of our relationships?(Autumn R. Scrivens)University of West Georgia
Abstract
Risky attachment styles are behaviors that are high risk and enacted by an impulse that can eventually lead to engaging in sexual acts with a person who has a sexually transmitted infection/ disease or someone who is at risk of becoming pregnant. Girls who grew up in a two-parent household or one parent household but the father was present during adolescent years have shown to engage in less risky attachment styles; whereas girls who grew up without a father figure or a non-parent household have shown to engage in riskier attachment styles such as avoidant and insecure/ambivalent styles. Past research experiences shows’ evidence that the impact of a fatherly figure can affect how young girls choose their relationships but this impact was not as definite in young males. Because the research is so biased, the following research identifies the factors that affect the quality of our relationships based on the impact of a fatherly figure and how this impact affects young girls' attachment styles when in a relationship. Finally, I offer implications for this research from a social and psychological aspect.
Keywords: attachment styles, relationships, Introduction
The factors that affect the quality of our relationships provides researchers with a qualitative framework for the understanding of the overall effects of the parental figure being a part of the development of the child; and how this development affects how young ladies and men get involved in quality relationships. These factors also give researchers the opportunity to understand how the emotional and physical relationship between a father and daughter affect how the daughters that did not grow up with healthy paternal relationships have underlying sexual factors and attachment styles. The significance of this research is to identify which factors from various upbringing whether being one parent, two-parent, or care system household affect the quality of our relationships. Furthermore, this research will explain what our upbringing says about those who we enter relationships with or keep in our life. At this stage in the research, the factors that define the quality of relationships for young ladies and men between the ages of 15 to 24 are scarce. Some deficiencies within each article in regards to research between the physical and emotional bond are described as strong emotional bonds and a need for a consistent partner but there were no articles that related to emotional development and how fathers play a major part in this development. Because of these various deficiencies, by using qualitative methods during my research I hope to explore the emotional and physical bond between a father and daughter while using personal experiences and various.
Question #1 Please choose ONE of the following to make an origi.docx
Question #1:
Please choose ONE of the following to make an original response. Focus on quality, CRITICAL THINKING, sharing YOUR perspectives/ideas with a little bit of support for your assertions.
Violence and Women
:
Violence against females is a worldwide issue. What types of gender roles, cultural beliefs, political systems, and SOCIALIZATIONS influence and tolerate violence against women? Think deeply; what types of things are said or behaviors condoned or tolerated that cause, promote, or sustain violence against women? Provide support.
Violence and Men:
Violence against men, between men, and by men is a worldwide issue (no male bashing here, just going by prevalence rates). What types of gender roles, cultural beliefs, political systems, socialization processes, impact violence for men? Specifically, what do we say and do as a culture (not necessary you) to teach, condone, sustain certain masculine characteristics that could lead to violence? What can be done to help counteract unhealthy aspects of socialization? Pay attention to why you think women may have less rates of violence due to psychological or socialization processes.
Violence against non-binary
(including but not limited to binary transgender, non-binary transgender, non-binary in general, agender, bigender, gender fluid). What types of gender expected roles, cultural beliefs, socialization processes, attitudes, political systems, religious systems, and misinformation/myths contribute to violence towards non-binary persons? How does biopsychosocial scientific evidence challenge misconceptions? Include in your critical thought important measures needed to reduce violence.
Helping and Gender:
Discuss whether or not you see gender differences in helping behaviors of males vs. females. Be specific. Some examples: Are men more kind or females? How about instrumental vs. communicative style? Which gender might be rewarded more for specific helping behaviors: do we reward men for doing the dishes than women? Do we say men are instrumental ignoring the vast amount of "doing to show love" by women? Do we praise women for being more communicative in helping others while shaming men for having male to male "heart to hearts talks?" Does what we do, along gender lines, in terms of helping on a daily basis show a societal value and expectation that is gender influenced? Ex: Helping by caring for others, helping by protecting, helping by serving in different roles, help by risking life?
Self Efficacy
: Elaborate on the concepts of self-efficacy and gender. What aspects of gender identity or socialization may impact a person's sense of confidence, ability, and mastery? Elaborate and provide examples.
Sexuality as vulnerability:
Compare and contrast the concept of sexuality as a weakness/vulnerability between males, females, non-binary and those with non-hetero attractions. Provide some specific examples and let me see your critical thinking. Are male, female, and/or no.

200 vygotsky0
Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist who developed the sociocultural-contextual theory of cognitive development, which posits that culture and social interactions are essential for cognitive development as children learn skills and values from others in their social group. According to Vygotsky, cognitive development occurs through interactions with others rather than individual experiences as proposed by Piaget's theory.
200 piaget0
Jean Piaget developed a theory of cognitive development that described 4 stages through which children's thinking progresses. The stages are sensorimotor (birth to 2 years), preoperational (2-7 years), concrete operational (7-11 years), and formal operational (11-15 years). At each stage, children actively interpret their environment and must master the accomplishments of one stage before advancing to the next. Knowledge is developed through interactions with the world rather than just acquired.
200 interpretation %20_review0
The document discusses interpretation in child observations and evaluations. It states that interpretation involves making inferences based on biases, theories, past experiences and observations. There are different types of interpretations like relating observations to theories or developmental data. Interpretation provides meaning to observations by forming explanations and patterns among observations. It allows one to learn about a child's behaviors, emotional state, and social skills through imposing personal biases and theoretical beliefs on facts. Interpretation often involves moving from direct observable behaviors to making inferences about something not directly observed.
200 ethology2
The document discusses ethology, the study of innate and instinctual behaviors in animals and humans. It covers topics like imprinting studies in birds by Konrad Lorenz, attachment between infants and caregivers, critical periods of development, and innate behaviors across species like communication, mating rituals, aggression, and more. The case study of "Genie" provides an example of what happens when a human misses critical periods of attachment, language development, and socialization due to severe neglect and isolation from others.
200 children%e2%80%99s %20_assessment_shortened1
Teachers are responsible for assessing children to identify needs and make educational decisions. Formal assessments include standardized tests to measure intelligence, academic achievement, and readiness. Informal assessments like observations, checklists, interviews and portfolios are used more frequently. Teachers should be alert to signs of psychosocial or mental health issues in children and make referrals when behaviors are extreme, frequent or persistent or the number of symptoms is excessive. Common childhood disorders include internalizing disorders like anxiety and depression, disruptive behavioral disorders like ADHD, and developmental delays.
200 ethological %20%20_pretest0
The document contains 8 multiple choice questions that test knowledge of key concepts in ethological theory such as innate behavior, imprinting, sensitive periods in development, and studies done by Konrad Lorenz on animal behavior. The questions cover topics like what ethology refers to, the effects of deprivation on child development, whether capacity for language acquisition is reduced if not learned in early years, characteristics of innate behaviors, what imprinting involves, patterns of emotional expression, what animals Konrad Lorenz studied, and what behaviors or impulses have been found to be innate.

343%20 learner%20differences%20and%20learning%20needs1
The document discusses important methods for facilitating deep understanding and discussion in cooperative groups such as reciprocal questioning, jigsaws, and structured controversies. It also examines different cognitive theories that support cooperative learning, including Piaget's theory of knowledge construction, Vygotsky's theory of co-construction of knowledge, and the IP model. Finally, it addresses learner differences and learning needs in relation to concepts like intelligence, motivation, and disabilities.
343%20 engaged%20learning1
1. Bronfenbrenner's bio-ecological model views child development as influenced by multiple environmental systems, including the microsystem of immediate surroundings, mesosystem of connections between microsystems, exosystem of social settings not directly involving the child, and macrosystem of overarching cultural values.
2. Important microsystems influencing cognitive development include family, school, peer groups, with parenting styles, school culture, and peer aggression impacting learning.
3. Cooperative learning through collaboration and cooperation can positively impact students' social skills, engagement, and academic achievement when incorporating face-to-face interaction, interdependence, accountability, cooperative skills, and group processing.
The cultural approach to cognition
Vygotsky's theory proposed that (1) cognitive development occurs through social interactions where children learn from more skilled members of their culture, and (2) thinking is mediated by cultural tools like language and concepts. He argued that cognitive functions develop on two levels - first through social interactions, then through internalization as children master new skills through assisted learning. Vygotsky emphasized that learning precedes development, and introduced the concept of the "zone of proximal development" to describe a child's potential when solving problems under adult guidance or collaboration.
343 educational implications of vygosky’s theory1
1. Vygotsky's theory emphasizes scaffolding students' learning through collaborative activities, challenging tasks broken into simpler parts, and instruction within students' zone of proximal development.
2. Constructivism views learning as active knowledge construction through social interactions, with students making sense of information.
3. Approaches like problem-based learning, inquiry learning and cognitive apprenticeship promote student-centered, active learning through problem-solving, hypothesis testing, and guidance from experts.
343 educational implications of ip model0
1. As children grow older, they are able to process information more rapidly and efficiently due to biological maturation, increased working memory capacity, and automatization of skills.
2. Educational aims should focus on gaining and maintaining attention, managing cognitive load, and helping children integrate new information into their existing long-term memory networks through elaboration and organization.
3. Mnemonic strategies like rehearsal, organization, acronyms, rhymes and images can help children encode and retrieve information more effectively.
343 beyond piaget and ips1
Information processing theories view cognitive development as involving quantitative rather than qualitative changes, driven by increases in processing efficiency through experience and practice. The key elements are sensory memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Development occurs as children acquire better attention skills and memory strategies like chunking and rehearsal to encode, store, and retrieve information more efficiently over time. The goal of teaching is to strengthen these information processing skills.
Ppt race and ethnic variations
The document discusses race and ethnicity variations in the United States, covering topics like historical context, assimilation, prejudice, discrimination, and family patterns among major racial groups. It provides details on the African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Native American populations, including their historical backgrounds, socioeconomic contexts, marital structures, parenting styles, and challenges faced.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
