Science Fair Project Report

Decent Essays
"Do men and women think in the same way?" I want to do this science fair project because I am interested in how the brain works depending on the gender. I want to know if they think similarly or differently. I also want to know if not only the gender but does the age affect what they think.
Stereotypes. We all have to deal with stereotypes at one point. My science fair project this year will have to deal with them. This year I have decided to do my project on whether or not they are accurate. My hypothesis is that not all people will fall under their typical stereotypes. For example, some girls may like video games, while typically, guys like video games, or some guys are very emotional, when girls are usually the most emotional.

    More times than not stereotyping can have a negative effect rather than a positive one. It is very important to understand that stereotyping is both useful and bad utter Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald. In their article “On Stereotypes” they claim that “categories are the basis for normal prejudgment.” They are useful in the sense that when we come across someone we instantly put them into categories that we find to be true.
