[MUSIC] Obviously, there is no correct answer to the story puzzle of the sergeant and the son. And you can see the variety of responses that are possible to the question, who is the surgeon, from your different explanations. We can say, however, that the response of least resistance, that is to say, the simplest response, is the surgeon is the child's mother. A surprising majority of us do not instinctively arrive at this conclusion. Even though, for most of us, once it is explained, this response seems obvious. Take me for example. The first time I heard the story, didn't get it. Five years later when I heard the story again, I knew there was a twist to it, but didn't get it, okay. So if you didn't think of the mother straight away, before you start kicking yourself for not getting the right answer, or to justify your response based on, for example, the biased presentation of the story, etc., etc. I'd like you to take time out to consider the overall statistics included in the supplementary materials to this module. And think about why this might be the case. In this particular case, the focus is on gender. As we saw previously, gender, unlike some other diversity categories such as disabilities or ethnicity, is a diversity category that is prevalent everywhere. Since we encounter gender interactions in all aspects of our lives, at home, at school, in the street, at work, everywhere. Gender is also a diversity category which is not a minority category. It is, however, a category where we observe significant differences in terms of interaction patterns, communication styles, job opportunities, renumeration, career patterns, and so on, between men and women. These differences are related to the cognitive schemas that we have for men and women, and the expectations attached to these cognitive schemas. In this module, Categorization and Diversity Perceptions, you will develop a conceptual understanding of cognitive processes that determine our perceptions of difference and the construction of cognitive schemas. The role of expectations on our attitudes and behaviors, and the importance of developing an awareness of these processes to deal with cognitive biases related to diversity.
