Question

Theories differ in the point of view they take when explaining a fact, but they also differ in the aspect of the fact in which they are interested. 5· For example, take the question, "Why are men more physically aggressive than women throughout the world?" A theorist who takes the biopsychology perspective might answer Testosterone facilitates aggression and men have much more of it than women." Another might answer "Men are socialized to respond to perceived threats aggressively, whereas women are more likely to use other means." Each of these answers may be correct or incorrect, but they do not contradict one another. Instead they are addressing a different a) level of analysis b)level of factor c) level of proof d) level of detail The way survey questions are asked may have a large effect on results. As described in the text for example, asking "Do you agree that women ought to have the right to control their own reproductive activity?" would likely result in very different results from asking "Do you think women ought have the right to terminate the life of their unborn child?" This problem is termed a) Questionnaire effects b) Wording effects c) Good subject tendency d) External validity 46.
