Expert Solution
Step 1

Psychologists are concerned with the study of sex and gender. Sex is determined biologically, while gender is a social construct. Whilst sex and gender are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. Sometimes, a person's gender does not correspond with their sex. Meanwhile, psychologists also study 'human sexuality,' which is referred to one's sexual attraction and interest toward others. Sex, gender, sexuality, play a role in the formation of a person's self-concept - which is an awareness regarding one's characteristics and capabilities.
