On this discussion, I want you to reflect back to when you were an adolescent.  After reading pages 163-169 from our textbook, think about and describe what 3 factors impacted you most from the list below.  Write a paragraph for each factor, including a description of the factor and how it impacted you as an adolescent.

Biological Influences on Gender

Pubertal Change & Sexuality
Freud & Erikson – Anatomy is Destiny (this isn’t really a factor, but you can speak to if if you’d like!)
Evolutionary Psychology and Gender (this will be tricky to discuss as a factor, too.  But you can certainly try!)
Social Influences on Gender
Parental Influences
Siblings
Schools & Teachers
Mass Media Influences
Cognitive Influences on Gender
