A) mesosystem
B) exosystem
C) macrosystem
D) chronosystem

Answer 1

B

Question 2

A) The CDC/WHO Model
B) Flay's Theory of Triadic Influence
C) The Integrated Behavior Model
D) The Adolescent Well-Being Framework

Answer 2

B

Question 3

A) The CDC/WHO Model
B) Flay's Theory of Triadic Influence
C) The Integrated Behavior Model
D) The Adolescent Well-Being Framework

Answer 3

C

Question 4

Which of the following is intended to guide prevention efforts so that they build strengths to offset risk factors at various levels?

A) The CDC/WHO Model
B) Flay's Theory of Triadic Influence
C) The Integrated Behavior Model
D) The Adolescent Well-Being Framework

Question 5

A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention effort to review the research and input from experts resulted in another multilevel model to organize the relationship between which type of factors and youth violence?

A) Distal factors
B) Proximal factors
C) Microeconomic factors
D) Macroeconomic factors

Question 6

Which organization developed an Adolescent Well-Being Framework to identify factors to consider in order to monitor adolescent progress from a positive perspective, without focusing solely on negative outcomes?

A) UNICEF
B) National Institutes of Health
C) World Health Organization
D) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Question 7

The chronosystem is really just the factor of time added to the other system levels-the multiple systems, operating over time.

Question 8

Streams and substreams of influence flow from the most distant causes to causes closest to the behavior of concern in a cascade of multiple interacting influences.

Question 9

With reference to applying the Theory of Triadic Influence and trying to identify the role of factors at different levels, the general idea is the distal/ultimate causes predict most behavior and proximal causes explain it.

Question 10

Although the Integrated Behavior Model now includes multiple categories of factors, some of which are external to an individual, it is still considered an individual model.
