The Effects of Gender Neuroessentialism on Transprejudice: An Experimental Study

December 10, 2019 Sam Long
sex+roles.jpg

This research by Boby Ho-Hong Ching and Jason Teng Xu suggests that biology teaching may have the power to reduce transphobic attitudes in students. In the experiment, students read one of two articles - one claimed that sex differences in personality and social behavior are caused by neurological factors, and the other claimed that brain and environment interact to shape personality and behavior. Students who read the first article were less likely to support equal rights and anti-discrimination protections for transgender people.
