QUESTION 9
Instructions: Please read the passage below, then answer the questions that follow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoey wanted to buy a new car but was having difficulty deciding what kind of car to buy. She was feeling anxious and wanted to make a decision soon. It was a very cold day in January, and she was preparing for a long day; so Zoey decided to wear her glasses, a long pea coat, and her work satchel. Zoey had conducted some research and was pretty certain of the vehicle that she wanted. Zoey visited some local car dealers and asked for the advice of some of her friends. The salesmen at the dealerships were all very nice and seemed knowledgeable about the car that she was considering. Zoey found this to be surprising because the stereotype of a “car salesman” is that they are manipulative and will try to cheat you out of your money. However, Zoey wasn’t worried about being taken advantage of because she tends to think critically before making decisions.
During her car search, the first salesman asked if she was a teacher. Zoey was offended by this, because she is a musician and looks nothing like a teacher! The second salesman asked her if she would be making a purchase without her husband, which also irritated Zoey. Finally, Zoey made a decision with the third dealer that she visited and purchased her vehicle. What eventually won her over is that the salesman spoke in simple terms, complimented her on how intelligent she was, and offered her a deal that the sales manager agreed to.
Zoey would be considered creatively intelligent based on the information listed about her.

There have been a number of studies that have focused on emotions and gender. Cummins (2014) discussed a number of them. One that she reviewed showed there was a large difference in empathic reactions to pictures between males and females; however she felt the study was flawed because it relied upon self-report (Cummins, 2014). This could have led the males to play down any empathy because they have been socialized to do so (2014). When studies have been conducted that utilize mRIs and other functional brain tests, the differences are diminished, and it is clearly seen that men and women process emotional content in different areas of the brain (Cummins, 2014). If this is biological in nature, how do we address the socialization concerns in order to bring more alignment to both men and women in regards to emotional reactions?
