Question 92

Gender Role Study

In a study of gender identity development, a sample of 120 young adults completed a self-report inventory measuring expressive (traditionally feminine) personality traits. The inventory produced a femininity score for each participant on a scale of 0 to 30, where 0 represented an absence of expressive traits and 30 represented extreme expressiveness.

The researchers calculated measures of central tendency for the femininity scores, obtaining the following results:

  • Mean femininity score: 18.2
  • Median femininity score: 20.5
  • Mode femininity score: 24.0

Sketch a graph to show the most likely distribution curve for the femininity scores in this study. Label the axes of your graph and mark on it the positions of the mean, median, and mode.
