Normative age-graded influences are the biological and social factors that are tied to specific age ranges and are typically experienced by individuals in those age groups.

Among the options you provided, the experience that represents a normative age-graded influence is:

  • A woman in middle adulthood experiencing menopause.

This experience is commonly associated with a specific age range and is a biological change that many women go through at roughly the same stage in life.

The other options (discrimination in the workplace and winning the national lottery) do not fall under normative age-graded influences as they are not tied to a particular age but rather to individual circumstances and external factors.

So, the correct answer would be "A woman in middle adulthood experiencing menopause."
