Question:

A weakness of gender bias?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Gender differences can be politcially-motivated arguments, presented as a scientific fact -Analusis by Walkerdine (1990) showed how 'scientific' research published in the 1930s described how by engaging in 'intellectual activities' eg. going to university, women's ovaries would shrviel and harm her chances of having children -Research like this can provide a scientific justification to deny women opportunitites in work and wider society -Show how gender bias is not a methodlogical problem in psychology, but can have significant negative implications in real life
