Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Monica is an only child, her parents will likely be able to devote more attention to her. Therefore, she will likely receive as much attention as a first-born child. However, research has shown that only children may experience more pressure and expectations from their parents, which can have negative effects on their well-being. Therefore, option A is not true. While some only children may have difficulty making friends, it is not necessarily true for all. Therefore, option B may not be true in Monica's case. Option C refers to the concept of resource dilution, which occurs when the resources available to parents (such as time, money, attention) are divided among multiple children, potentially resulting in each child receiving fewer resources. Since Monica is an only child, resource dilution is not applicable to her.
