2. Do you agree with the hypothesis that gender-specific socialization influences the rates of anxiety disorders for males and females?

Imagine two soccer games on adjacent fields—one between teams of 7-

year-old girls, the other between teams of 7-year-old boys. Each game happens to include a player with a specific phobia of lightning and thunder. When dark clouds appear and the first thunderclap sounds, how do you think parents and coaches will react to the terrified boy and girl? What if the kids were 15 years old rather than 7? What does your response suggest about the influence of socialization on the development of anxiety disorders, and possibly other psychological disorders as well?
