Accepted Answer

The characteristics listed (goal interdependence, role interdependence, shared rewards, dependence on one another's resources, and a distributed division of labor) describe positive interdependence, which is a key element of successful teamwork and collaboration. The other choices (Good Behavior Game, Individual Accountability, and Group Process) do not specifically refer to these characteristics.

B

Question 3

Which of the following is a critical element of an effective peer tutoring program?&#10;A)Only top academic peers should tutor&#10;B)Peers tutoring younger students&#10;C)The degree to which students are prepared to tutor&#10;D)Matching the age of peers with students to be tutored

Accepted Answer

The degree to which students are prepared to tutor is a critical element of an effective peer tutoring program as it ensures that the peer tutors are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively assist their peers. Age or academic performance alone does not necessarily guarantee effectiveness as a tutor. Matching younger students with older peers and top academic peers may also be effective, but it is not the critical element.

Question 4

Which of the following is not developed within peer group interaction?&#10;A)Compliance&#10;B)Leadership&#10;C)Aggression&#10;D)Passivity

Accepted Answer

Passivity is not developed within peer group interaction. Passivity is a trait that may be developed due to a lack of interaction or influence from peers. Compliance, leadership, and aggression are all traits that can be developed or influenced by the dynamics of peer group interaction.

Question 5

A theory that suggest that the attitudes and beliefs of peers are dominant influences on adolescent drug use is called:&#10;A)Peer Interactive Theory&#10;B)Social Skills Interaction Theory&#10;C)Cooperative Learning Theory&#10;D)Peer Cluster Theory

Accepted Answer

The theory that suggests that the attitudes and beliefs of peers are dominant influences on adolescent drug use is called the Peer Cluster Theory. This theory proposes that adolescents are influenced by their peer groups and tend to engage in behaviors that are consistent with the norms and values of their group. Peer clusters, or groups of peers who share similar behaviors and attitudes, may provide social support for drug use and create a peer culture that encourages drug use as a way to belong and establish identity.

Question 6

Prevention programs focused on self-esteem and ego-enhancing approaches during the:&#10;A)present time.&#10;B)1960s.&#10;C)1970s.&#10;D)1980s.

Accepted Answer

Prevention programs focused on self-esteem and ego-enhancing approaches were popular in the 1970s. This was a time when the concept of self-esteem was gaining widespread attention and was seen as a potential solution to a range of social issues. These programs were aimed at building self-esteem in individuals as a way to prevent behavioral problems and promote positive outcomes. Though the effectiveness of these programs has been debated, they were popular in the 1970s and therefore, choice C is the best answer.

Question 7

Which program depends highly on positive interdependence?&#10;A)Peer cluster theory&#10;B)Peer facilitation&#10;C)Cross-age tutors&#10;D)Cooperative learning

Accepted Answer

Cooperative Learning relies heavily on positive interdependence, where each member of the group is responsible for contributing to the common goal and success of the group. This is in contrast to other options, such as Peer Cluster Theory or Cross-Age Tutors, which may involve collaboration but do not necessarily require the same level of interdependence.

Question 8

A problem solving process that enables individuals to resolve disputes that are troublesome is called:&#10;A)effective dispute management.&#10;B)self-regulation theory.&#10;C)problem-solving management.&#10;D)mediation.

Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is characteristic of mediation, which involves a neutral third-party facilitating communication and negotiation between disputants in order to reach a mutually beneficial solution. Effective dispute management and problem-solving management are similar concepts, but do not necessarily involve mediation or third-party intervention. Self-regulation theory is not directly related to resolving disputes.

Question 9

Students who act as peer facilitators benefit from their participation by:&#10;A)improving their grades.&#10;B)meeting community service obligations.&#10;C)building skills in problem-solving.&#10;D)meeting academic requirements for college entrance.

Accepted Answer

Acting as a peer facilitator involves working with other students to solve problems and promotes the development of problem-solving skills. While it may indirectly improve grades and fulfill community service obligations, those are not the primary benefits of serving as a peer facilitator. Similarly, while it may be viewed positively in college applications, meeting academic requirements for college entrance is not a direct benefit of this type of activity.
