Question A

What limitations should be placed on research with incarcerated participants? What are the special ethical concerns with incarcerated populations? Remember to explain and cite educational sources to support your perspective.

Question B

We often hear people blame stereotypical gender differences in behaviors on testosterone or estrogen levels (e.g., men are aggressive because they have so much testosterone; women are emotional because of their estrogen levels). From what we have read, do you believe that testosterone and estrogen cause differences in behavior based on gender? If so, to what extent are they to blame? Remember to explain and cite educational sources to support your perspective.
