appropriate; inappropriate
Solution
The answer is A: instrumental; expressive.
Explanation:
Instrumental Behavior: This term often refers to actions that are goal-oriented and task-focused. Traditionally, sons have been encouraged to engage in instrumental behavior, which includes activities that emphasize independence, assertiveness, and achievement.
Expressive Behavior: This term refers to actions that emphasize emotional expressiveness, nurturing, and interpersonal relationships. Daughters have traditionally been encouraged to engage in expressive behavior, focusing on empathy, caring, and communication.
Expressive; Instrumental: This option is incorrect because it reverses the traditional roles.
Inappropriate; Appropriate: These terms do not accurately describe the traditional gender roles being discussed.
Appropriate; Inappropriate: Similarly, these terms do not fit the context of the question regarding traditional gender roles.
