Answer 1

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Sociological studies of gender socialization show that:___ would be, E: girls are less likely than boys to receive attention from teachers.

Explanation:

The topic of gender, and especially gender socialization, is a pretty complex one. Although today there has been a lot of effort put into not discriminating people due to their gender, and the societal roles that are expected of each gender, as well as their inherent characteristics, the truth is that this is not always achieved. Especially in school systems, there is still a tendency in teachers to see each gender in a certain way, expect them to behave in a certain way, and thus react to them also in response to those expectations. Male children are inherently believed to be more boisterous and attention-demanding, thus, teachers still react to them by paying more attention to them than girls. This is what sociological statistics still show.
