Gender Differences Paper

Team/Project Structure
It was an interesting learning experience completing the group research project. I was fortunate enough to choose my own group. My group (Trisha Grahmann, Amanda Rodriguez, Crystal Powell, and Danielle Pardo) chose the topic of “First Impressions”; initially, this topic was the main reason why I chose to be in their group.

This way, I was able to give enlightening, support, and “flavor” to the other subtopics that would be mentioned. From then on, the research was easy, fun, and
