Question 1

Humor and altruism can be:&#10;A)genetically modified.&#10;B)taken for weakness.&#10;C)coping skills.&#10;D)exhibited only by children not at risk.

Accepted Answer

Humor and altruism can be coping skills, as individuals may use these behaviors to deal with stress or difficult situations. Additionally, altruism can involve acts of kindness and helping others, which can also be a way for individuals to cope with their own problems. While genetics may play a role in personality traits, humor and altruism are not typically considered genetically modified. They can also be exhibited by individuals who are at risk or facing adversity, not just children.

Question 2

Self-efficacy relates to:&#10;A)concept of Self alone.&#10;B)critical School Competencies alone.&#10;C)control and Concept of Self.&#10;D)critical School Competencies and Concept of Self.

Accepted Answer

Self-efficacy relates to both critical school competencies and the concept of self. It is the belief in one's ability to successfully perform a task or achieve a goal in a specific domain, which includes both the skills and self-confidence necessary to do so. Therefore, it is related to critical school competencies such as academic achievement and social skills, as well as the concept of self as it reflects one's beliefs about their capabilities and potential.

Question 3

Relationship skills of humor, empathy, and the ability to join/leave a group are part of:&#10;A)connectedness.&#10;B)academic skills.&#10;C)social environment.&#10;D)resiliency.

Accepted Answer

Connectedness refers to the ability to form and maintain relationships with others. Humor, empathy, and social skills such as the ability to join and leave a group are important components of forming and maintaining connections with others. Academic skills and resiliency are separate concepts not directly related to these relationship skills. Social environment may influence the development of these skills, but it is not a category that these skills fall under.

Question 4

Young people develop individual characteristics of likes and dislikes, talents and limitations, strengths and weaknesses from within:&#10;A)their unique family and community ecology.&#10;B)interactions with family members.&#10;C)involvement within a sports activity.&#10;D)maintaining church membership.

Accepted Answer

While interactions with family members and involvement within activities can certainly influence a young person's development, ultimately their individual characteristics come from within and are shaped by their unique family and community ecology. Maintaining church membership may also play a role in their development, but it is not the most significant factor.

Question 5

A good outcome in spite of high risk, sustained competence under stress, and recovery from trauma are all examples of:&#10;A)tipping point.&#10;B)resilience.&#10;C)positive attitudes about self.&#10;D)invulnerable.

Accepted Answer

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adverse situations or setbacks, and is characterized by a mixture of high risk-taking ability, sustained competence under stress, and the ability to recover from trauma. Therefore, options A, C, and D are not sufficiently comprehensive to describe this concept.

Question 6

Decision making skill, ability to delay gratifications, and purpose-in-life skills (educational, job/career related and life goals) are examples of:&#10;A)control.&#10;B)coping ability.&#10;C)connectedness.&#10;D)concept of self/self-esteem.

Accepted Answer

These skills all relate to the concept of control, or the ability to regulate one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to achieve personal goals and overcome obstacles. Decision making and purpose-in-life skills involve setting and pursuing goals, while delaying gratification requires self-discipline and self-control. All of these skills are important for achieving success and well-being in various domains of life.

Question 7

Which of the following is not one of the five Cs of competency?&#10;A)Critical school competencies&#10;B)Concept of self/self-esteem&#10;C)Coping ability&#10;D)Critical of deviant peers' values

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Thinking of alternative solutions and understanding the consequences of behavior are crucial skills in problem solving. While the other options may be important for social skills and relationships, they are not directly related to problem-solving skills.

Question 9

Resiliency is the capacity to:&#10;A)effectively manipulate your social environment.&#10;B)give &#34;just enough&#34; at school to pass.&#10;C)adapt and function successfully despite chronic stress and adversity.&#10;D)maintain family responsibilities while still fulfilling your needs.

Accepted Answer

Resiliency refers to the ability to cope and adapt in the face of adversity or stress. It is about bouncing back from challenges and continuing to function successfully. Manipulating one's social environment, giving just enough to pass in school, and maintaining family responsibilities are not necessarily indicators of resiliency.

Question 10

Family factors that influence resiliency include all but which of the following?&#10;A)Effective parenting strategies&#10;B)Healthy communication patterns&#10;C)Strict rules regarding behavior (such as obedience)&#10;D)Strong parental monitoring

Accepted Answer

Strict rules regarding behavior (such as obedience) may not necessarily contribute to resiliency in a family. In fact, overly strict rules may lead to rebellious behavior and weaken the family's sense of trust and support. Effective parenting strategies, healthy communication patterns, and strong parental monitoring are all important factors for promoting resiliency in families.
