ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Society has socialized both men and women to accept a stereotypical male role that makes it difficult to meet basic psychological needs. General dimensions of this stereotyped role include a need to refrain from behaviors ascribed to women as freely demonstrating affection, a need to be self-reliant, and a need to be powerful and superior. Internalization of the typical male gender role has been shown to be associated with less attention to routine health care screenings.
