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.
It invalidates non-binary or fluid gender identities leading potentially to psychological harm.
Binary model assumes that behavioral characteristics are inherently linked to one's biological sex.
This assumption fosters stereotypes associated with both genders which might be incorrect.
