Human Behavior -Soc Env II-Winter 2025 WEEK 5 ASSIGNMENT
Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Research
Misconceptions and stereotypes abound with regard to gender and sexuality. This is due to many factors, including media portrayals of LGBTQ individuals, outdated understandings, and socialization within the family and culture. Social workers must strive to avoid these misconceptions and remain bias-free while also making the best possible client decisions. By surveying evidence-based research, you can remain current with best practices and ensure you are using the most up-to-date language and methods with the LGBTQ population.
For this Assignment, you search for and analyze a peer-reviewed research article on gender identity or sexual orientation, consider what you have learned, and apply your findings to practice.
To Prepare:
• Conduct a search in the Walden Library to identify at least one peer-reviewed research article that addresses gender identity or sexual orientation in young or middle adulthood.
• Select an article that you find especially relevant to you in your role as a social worker.
• Consider how you might apply the findings from both the research article and the Learning Resources to social work practice.
•
BY DAY 4
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper that includes the following:
• A summary of your findings regarding gender identity or sexual orientation and its impact on life span development. This should include information from the Learning Resources and from the journal article(s) you selected during your research.
