Transitivity
(noun)
The idea that if A is related to B, and B is related to C, then A must be related to C.
Examples of Transitivity in the following topics:
-
Gender Dysphoria
- A post-transition specifier was also added for transgender individuals who have transitioned to their chosen gender (i.e., undergone hormonal or surgical procedures to alter their body in a way that matches their experienced gender identity).
- This specifier helps to ensure post-transition individuals can continue to receive ongoing hormonal or other treatment as needed.
- Family counseling is often helpful and necessary to help parents, partners, or other family members adjust to the person's gender identity and any related transition.
- While the diagnosis of gender dysphoria may perpetuate stigma against transgender individuals, it may also be a necessary tool for accessing transition-related therapy.
-
Cognitive Development in Childhood
- Several key thinking processes emerge during this stage, including reversibility, seriation, and transitive inference.
- Transitive inference is a relational concept in which children can understand how objects are related to one another; for example, if a dog is a mammal, and a boxer is a dog, then a boxer must also be a mammal.
-
Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development
- In his research, he carefully observed children and presented them with problems to solve that were related to object permanence, reversibility, deductive reasoning, transitivity, and assimilation (described below).
- By the end of this stage, children will develop true mental operations and master the concepts of reversibility, transitivity, and assimilation.
- Transitivity is the concept of relation—for example, if A is related to B and B is related to C, then A must also be related to C.

Goals of Psychology

-
Gender as a Spectrum and Transgender Identities
- Not all transgender individuals choose to alter their bodies or physically transition from one sex to another.
-
Gustation: Taste Buds and Taste
- Synthetic sweeteners such as saccharin activate a separate set of GPCRs, initiating a similar but different process of protein transitions.
-
Introduction to Industrial and Organizational Psychology
- I–O psychologists also help organizations make effective transitions among periods of change and development.

Socioemotional Development in Adolescence
- Because choices made during adolescence can influence later life, higher levels of self-awareness and self-control in mid-adolescence will contribute to better decisions during the transition to adulthood.
-
Sleep-Wake Disorders
