Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants often exhibit jealousy-related behaviors when their caregiver gives attention to a toy or object that the infant perceives as a rival for the caregiver's attention. A doll is a toy that is commonly seen as a rival for a mother's attention, so it is the most likely choice for triggering jealousy-related behaviors in an infant. The other options (car, book, chair) are less likely to be perceived as rivals for a mother's attention and are therefore less likely to trigger jealousy-related behaviors.
