Which of the following statements regarding emotion regulation is not true?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

In terms of emotional regulation development,parental behaviors ________ their children's tendencies.

Accepted Answer

Parental behaviors both shape and react to their children's tendencies in terms of emotional regulation development. Through modeling and providing guidance and support, parents can influence the development of their children's emotional regulation skills. At the same time, parents' own emotional responses and reactions to their children can impact their children's emotional regulation development. Therefore, both shaping and reacting to their children's tendencies are important for parents in fostering their children's emotional regulation skills.

Accepted Answer

The question mentions "mutually reflective influences," which suggests that both the parents and adolescents are affecting each other's behavior. The only answer choice that accurately reflects this is D, which refers to "influencing spirals of interaction." This means that the negative behavior of one person leads the other to respond negatively, which in turn leads the first person to escalate their negativity, and so on.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

To study how adolescents cope with stress meaningfully, it's crucial to establish an emotional context. This allows for understanding the emotional processes and reactions involved in coping mechanisms.

Accepted Answer

The term used to describe infants who show wariness and fearfulness when they encounter unfamiliar people, objects, or events is "inhibited," whereas the term used to describe infants who approach novelty with interest and spontaneity is "disinhibited." Therefore, the correct answer is C.

One group of researchers conducted a study on adolescent emotions by paging fifth- through ninth-graders at various times during the day and asking for a description of their moods at that moment.They also collected questionnaires and found that the older children expressed more negative emotions associated with

Accepted Answer

The study found that the older children expressed more negative emotions, which were associated with negative life events. The other options (lack of sleep, physical appearance, dietary intake) were not mentioned in relation to the adolescents' negative emotions in this study.

Question 9

Adolescents cognitive advances make it possible for them to consider multiple sides of a problem and express

Accepted Answer

Adolescents' cognitive advances allow them to think more abstractly and consider multiple perspectives, which can lead to conflicting emotions.

Question 10

Emotional development in older children is closely affiliated with advances in cognition that

Accepted Answer

Emotional development in older children is closely affiliated with advances in cognition that allow them to think in more complex, abstract terms. This enables them to better understand and regulate their emotions, as well as understand the emotional states of others.

Question 11

Recent research on emotions during adolescence suggests that

Accepted Answer

Adolescents experience a range of emotional changes due to hormonal fluctuations, brain development, and social pressures, which can lead to an increase in negative emotions compared to other age groups.

Question 12

Which of the following statements regarding emotion regulation is not true?

Accepted Answer

Research has actually found that boys and girls express negative emotions at similar rates, but girls may be more likely to communicate their emotions verbally while boys may express them through behavior.

Question 13

________ refers to a child's persistent behavioral style and includes the intensity of expressed moods,distractibility,and adaptability.

Accepted Answer

The characteristics described in the question are all related to a child's temperament, which refers to their inherent behavioral style. Emotion (A) refers to the experience of feeling and expression of those feelings, disposition (B) refers to a person's overall attitude or outlook, and attachment (C) refers to the emotional bond between a child and their primary caregiver.

Question 14

As children approach their adolescent years,their verbal descriptions of their emotions shift from concerns with

Accepted Answer

As children approach their adolescent years, their verbal descriptions of their emotions shift from describing their emotions in terms of situational factors (i.e. what happened to them) to internal psychological factors (i.e. how they feel about what happened to them). This shift reflects the increasing cognitive and emotional complexity of these individuals, as they become more aware of their own internal experiences and how they influence their emotional responses to different situations.

Question 15

An increasingly popular conceptualization of temperament classifies infants according to _________,or how easily they become aroused,and _________,or the ability to adjust one's level of arousal.

Accepted Answer

The given definition clearly refers to the two dimensions of temperament, reactivity, and self-regulation. Reactivity is how easily infants become aroused, while self-regulation refers to their ability to adjust their level of arousal. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because self-regulation is one of the dimensions being classified, not the classification itself. Option B and C are incorrect because display rules and disinhibition have nothing to do with classifying infant temperament.

Question 16

Geraldo tends to have a negative mood and low levels of activity.He tends to withdraw from new stimuli but,with repeated exposure,will tend to show interest.Geraldo can be described as a child with a(n)________ temperament.

Accepted Answer

Geraldo's tendency to withdraw from new stimuli and show interest with repeated exposure suggests a slow-to-warm-up temperament.

Question 17

Development of emotion regulation seems to be linked to ________ in specific areas of the brain.

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that the development of emotion regulation is linked to greater neural activity in specific areas of the brain, such as the prefrontal cortex and amygdala.

Question 18

Which of the following strategies is NOT an active attempt on the part of adolescents to resolve their feelings?

Accepted Answer

Rumination is not an active attempt to resolve feelings. It involves repeatedly thinking about negative emotions and can actually prolong and intensify them. The other three strategies listed (acceptance, distraction, and positive thinking) involve taking action to cope with and resolve emotions.

Question 19

Researchers have been cautioned about rigidly defining temperament according to the behavioral patterns of Western infants.The fact that Japanese mothers tend to report unique qualities in their infants,such as self-assertiveness,suggests that

Accepted Answer

The fact that Japanese mothers report unique qualities in their infants, such as self-assertiveness, suggests that there may be cultural differences in parental expectations of temperament. This indicates that temperament may be influenced by culture and that researchers should be cautious when rigidly defining temperament based on the behavioral patterns of Western infants. It does not necessarily suggest that there are racial differences in temperament or that Asian infants are more precocious than American infants. Additionally, the statement does not provide evidence to suggest that cultural dictates in parenting styles have little or no effect on a child's temperament.

Question 20

The emotional style that results in behavioral manifestations,such as aggression or temper tantrums,is referred to as

Accepted Answer

Externalizing refers to emotional styles that are outwardly expressed through behavior, such as anger, aggression, or acting out. Internalizing, on the other hand, refers to emotional styles that are inwardly expressed, such as anxiety, depression, or withdrawal. Negatizing and neutralizing are not recognized terms in psychology related to emotional styles.
