Answer:

in addition to traditional psycholinguistic training, children with LI may gain from interventions that support concluding behavioural turns, as in aberrant caused conflicts; and in initiating contact in conflict situations, even when a frame of reference is not immediately available, as was the case when opponents have not established social interaction in the pre-conflict period.

One hundred forty-nine middle class individuals (69 males and 80 females), approximately 80% of whom were Caucasian, participated in a study. The study was designed to test the hypothesis that individuals whose gender role and occupation did not match (i.e., feminine individuals in predominantly male occupations or masculine individuals in predominantly female occupations) would experience more gender role conflict than individuals whose gender role and occupation matched. The hypothesis was supported. A feminine gender role predicted higher gender role conflict in predominantly male occupations, and lower gender role conflict in predominantly female occupations than a masculine gender role. A masculine gender role predicted the lowest gender role conflict scores in predominantly male occupations, and the highest in predominantly female occupations. Furthermore, higher masculinity scores were related to greater gender role conflict for females than males in more predominantly male occupations.

Historically, we can see a similar process at work in the relationship between ancient Judaism and early

Christianity. The early Christians built up an image of pagans and Jews as ‘un-Christian’ in part because

there was quite a bit of contact between the three traditions. John Gager has argued that although

hardliners worked hard to generate and enforce a distinction, Christian and pagan interaction with the

Jewish tradition was not solely negative and that many Christians and pagans engaged creatively with

Judaism (Gager, 1985). Similarly, ideas about heresy developed at least in part out of uncertainty about

what it meant to be an orthodox Christian. When we read the texts of earlier periods it seems obvious

that Christians were always arguing amongst themselves about who was a heretic and who held correct,

orthodox belief. But it might not have been that simple. These conflicts may have flared up precisely

because contact was occurring and movement between groups was seen as a real possibility by those

patrolling community boundaries.
