Question 5

I

IIIIn discussing cultural differences in conceptions of the self,scholars typically distinguish between the ____ promoted by individualistic cultures and the ____ promoted by collectivistic cultures.

Accepted Answer

Scholars typically distinguish between the independent self promoted by individualistic cultures and the interdependent self promoted by collectivistic cultures when discussing cultural differences in conceptions of the self. Option A reflects this distinction, making it the best choice. Option B is incorrect because it reverses the order of the terms. Options C and D refer to a different distinction between the self as an object versus the self as a being, which is not the same as the individualistic versus collectivistic distinction.

Question 6

In an early study of 110 traditional cultures (Barry et al.,1957)and more recent analyses of gender socialization in traditional cultures (Banerjee,2005; LeVine,2008),girls were socialized to develop ____.

Accepted Answer

Both the early study and recent analyses suggest that girls in traditional cultures are socialized to develop nurturing and compliant traits. Option A (interdependence and community), C (independence and toughness), and D (warmth and gentleness) do not accurately reflect the findings of the studies.

Question 10

In middle childhood,children become more capable of going about their daily activities without constant monitoring and control by others.They are better at functioning independently,with a little guidance from others,also called ____.

Accepted Answer

In middle childhood, children develop the ability to function independently with a little guidance from others. This is called coregulation, which is a balance between independence and support from others. Choice A (independent regulation) implies complete independence without any input or guidance from others, which is not a realistic or desirable expectation for middle childhood. Choice C (unilateral regulation) and Choice D (we-regulation) are not commonly used terms in developmental psychology and do not accurately describe the process of children becoming more capable of functioning independently in middle childhood.

Question 11

In traditional cultures,gender-segregated play is a consequence of ____.

Accepted Answer

In traditional cultures, gender-segregated play arises from the gender-specific work of boys and girls. Boys are often given tasks that require physical strength and endurance, such as tending to livestock or farming, while girls are given tasks that require more nurturing skills, such as cooking and childcare. As a result, boys and girls often engage in play that reflects their assigned roles and reinforces their gender identity. This is not due to brain development, hormones, or chromosomes, but rather cultural norms and expectations.

Question 12

Which of the following terms was coined by William James in the late 19th century?

Accepted Answer

William James, a pioneering psychologist and philosopher, introduced the concept of "self-esteem" in the late 19th century as part of his broader work on psychology and the self.

Question 13

What is the term used to describe the situation in which parents provide broad guidelines for behavior,but children themselves provide a substantial amount of independent,self-directed behavior?

Accepted Answer

Coregulation refers to a parenting style in which parents provide general guidelines and expectations for behavior, but children are given the freedom to make some decisions on their own and regulate their own behavior. This approach allows children to develop autonomy and self-control, while still receiving guidance and support from their parents. Cohabitation refers to living together as roommates or romantic partners, and is not related to parenting styles. Coparenting refers to the way that parents work together to raise their children, and can involve different styles of parenting. Comorbidity refers to the presence of multiple medical or psychological conditions in a single individual.

Question 14

Girls who are in middle childhood become more likely to define themselves in "feminine" terms such as "warm" and "compassionate," but they become no less likely to add "masculine" traits to their self-perceptions.How else might they describe themselves?

Accepted Answer

The passage states that girls in middle childhood become more likely to define themselves in "feminine" terms like "warm" and "compassionate," but they do not become less likely to add "masculine" traits to their self-perceptions. Therefore, it can be inferred that girls in middle childhood might also describe themselves as "forceful" and "self-reliant," which are traditionally considered masculine traits. Choices A, B, and C are more typically associated with feminine stereotypes and do not necessarily fit with the passage's description of girls adding both feminine and masculine traits to their self-perceptions.

Question 15

American children who are exposed to parenting that is critical and negative show what types of effects?

Accepted Answer

Children who are exposed to critical and negative parenting are more likely to experience depression and poor academic performance. This type of parenting can create a negative self-image and foster feelings of helplessness and hopelessness in children.

Question 16

Most cultures' gender roles become more ____ during middle childhood.

Accepted Answer

During middle childhood, most cultures' gender roles become more divided as children become more aware of gender norms and expectations, and tend to conform to these roles in their behaviors and interests.

Question 17

Globally,parents in most places and times have been more worried that their children would become too ____ than that they would have ____ self-esteem,and have ____ self-inflation as part of family socialization.

Accepted Answer

The sentence structure implies that the first blank should be the opposite of the second blank. Therefore, the answer should be a combination of "selfish" and "low." Only option B fits this pattern. Option A has "independent" in both blanks, while option C has "independent" in the first blank and "low" in the second blank. Option D has "encouraged" in the third blank, which is not supported by the sentence.

Question 18

In modern developed countries,children's gender attitudes and behavior during middle childhood ____.

Accepted Answer

During middle childhood, children in modern developed countries often adopt more stereotyped gender attitudes and behaviors as they become more aware of societal norms and expectations.

Question 19

In collectivistic cultures,the emphasis is placed on ____.

Accepted Answer

In collectivistic cultures, the focus is on the group rather than the individual, and family, kinship, and ethnic groups are seen as important. Success is often viewed as being a collective achievement rather than an individual one. Therefore, option D best fits the description.

Question 20

In a study that examined gender roles in 12 traditional cultures,same-gender play groups occurred in about 30-40% of 2- to 3-year-olds,but occurred in what percentage in middle childhood?

Accepted Answer

In middle childhood, same-gender play groups significantly increase, with over 90% of children preferring to play in groups with peers of the same gender. This reflects the strengthening of gender roles and social preferences during this developmental stage.
