AP Psychology
Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.7
What is the primary ethical issue with assuming all individuals identify within the binary model of gender (male/female) in psychological practice?
It disregards hormonal influences on behavior differences between men and women.
Binary model assumes that behavioral characteristics are inherently linked to one's biological sex.
It invalidates non-binary or fluid gender identities leading potentially to psychological harm.
This assumption fosters stereotypes associated with both genders which might be incorrect.
