Stereotypes are labels which are put onto a person to discriminate them, expectations which are what people are likely to do. On the surface we see them as just that, however, when those things are perceived as how they effect our driving philosophies, a whole new perspective is opened to us, some of these being issues of control and compliance, intimidation and fear, or plain patterns of self destructiveness. For instance, in class discussion we spoke of a few gender differences in driving. If a car breaks down, it is more expected of a man to know what to do and more expected of a woman to stand on the side of the road until help arrives. Men are more likely to criticize other drivers to where the other driver can hear them and women are more likely to criticize other drivers to themselves out of fear of retaliation.
Women prefer their male counterparts to drive they ride as passengers.
Ms. Lucey then went into her results of a questionnaire which she had conducted in her G6 class. This questionnaire tested 16 students 8 of which were males and 8 of which were females. From the data collected she states women scored higher on all except feelings of compulsion and competition and over sensitivity to social pressure. She also noted that the data was significant because of the small size of the sample. I don't think that this study is right.
