Answer 1

I just gave a lecture on this to my students today.

People are definitely more likely to judge you as belonging to a group when typical behavior is displayed.

I hesitate to replace typical with "stereotypical" because groups can be anything from gender based (where one might say it is stereotypical of a man to be domineering or a woman to be weepy) to cultural (where one culture may deem society as a group to be more important than the individual while another culture sees the individual as being more important).

Extroverted and introverted personality are both incorrect answers because they are both types of "typical" behavior.

Atypical is probably thrown in as a potential red herring (meaning could be an answer if you don't know your material thoroughly). Atypical would probably get responses from individuals whose thought process is going down the line of..."well, they are atypical/different from me, so they must fall into X group which acts in the same manner." But, this would be a wrong answer because the behavior upon which you would be basing that judgment may be atypical of you but it is typical of the group into which you are placing that individual.

The variance in behavior between individuals within a group will often be greater than the variance between groups, and typical/stereotypes are likely to be misleading in individual cases.

Answer 2

all of them really because they are common to alot of people, this is also true (all of them) if you are an observant statistical person. however if you don't mix with many people often then it is likely you will not categorize in groups. this is also true if you are not an observant statistical person. so the answer depends on the person being asked.

my personal view would be that sometimes i am an observant statistical person but most of the time i am not or try not to be.

Answer 3

e. none of the above

this is a really broad question, considering the fact that there is no "normal" threshold to compare 'people' to...like, who is 'people'? is it you and your friends, or just you, or that kid over there, or...???? b/c everyone judges in different ways, b/c we are all different.

and in terms of the answers provided, what is 'typical'? again, what is considered normal???

Answer 4

properly, inspite of penis or vagina, lots of individuals who are not abusive would properly be jealous, or consistently choose to be perfect. this is a character flaw, no longer abuse. loads of those issues are not particularly abuse, yet merely character characteristics of individuals who're abusive. And all and sundry would properly be abusive - no longer in easy terms adult adult males. in certainty, I merely observed slightly on the Tyra Banks instruct (undesirable source - i be responsive to) approximately bodily abusive women. yet i might say that when you consider that adult adult males are the dominant intercourse, that they are lots extra possibly to have the flexibility to abuse a girl. a girl who tries to abuse a guy emotionally or bodily frequently finally ends up by way of herself. i do no longer be responsive to what group you will possibly placed them in, yet there are abusive women.

Answer 5

I'd go with D, as in "stereo"typical.
