Many believe that there are tendencies that are inherent to male and female behaviors. However, in her research examining three separate societies, Margaret Mead showed dramatically different (and sometimes opposite) behaviors among men and women in the three cultures. What does this suggest regarding male and female behaviors?

Behaviors that are acceptable for one's sex are a learned behavior that is a result of socialization processes.

Explanation:

Margaret Mead was a cultural anthropologist. She belongs to United States of America.

Margaret Mead, as an anthropologist, is well known for cultural conditioning of natural character, sexual behavior and culture change.

Margaret studied three separate societies in New Guinea and she found out that there is vast difference between the behaviors and natures of men and women in these three cultures.

These three cultures of New Guinea tries to define masculinity and femininity in different ways.

Thus the studies of Margaret suggests that the behaviors of the people are acceptable for one's sex are a learned behavior that is a result of socialization processes. Thus the culture is main in defining gender differences.

Hence the answer is - --

Behaviors that are acceptable for one's sex are a learned behavior that is a result of socialization processes.
