See Chapter 2, pages 26–27. The answer should include that his focus on social interactions, the resolution of crises at each stage of development, and the idea that healthy resolution of crises depends on some integration of the negative side of the dichotomy. TYPE: E152. (TCOs 1, 3, and 4): Describe the research that has been done to determine when children develop a sense of self. At what age do children show a sharp increase in self-awareness? a. See Chapter 6, pages 144–145. The rouge test where a child is held up to a mirror and the child's reaction to the reflection is noted. The child is then taken down from the mirror and a dot of rouge is placed on the child's face and again held up to the mirror. Children without self-awareness will touch the baby in the mirror but not their own face. Once children realize that the baby in the mirror is them, they will touch their own face to wipe off the rouge once they've seen it in the mirror. This begins to develop at 15–18 months and rises sharply between 21 and 24 months. TYPE: E153. (TCOs 1, 3, and 4) Think about how you were taught to read. What approach was used? Describe the balanced approach and the use of guided reading sessions. How effective do these methods seem to be? a. See Chapter 9, page 228. Of course the means by which each student learned to read is going to vary by age and culture. The balanced approach to reading emphasizes that education must go beyond basic phonics.

The teacher's role is to help the children devise strategies that help them in pronunciation and reading skills. This is an application of Vygotsky's theory. TYPE: E154. (TCOs 7 and 9) Micah comes from a middle-class family. Both parents work and he has two brothers and one sister. His friend Sheila is an only child and her father is the CEO of a large company. Sheila's mother can afford to stay at home. Describe some of the differences in terms of academic achievement, social skills, and self-esteem that you might expect to see between Sheila and Micah. a. See Chapter 10, page 255. Many people assume that only children lack social skills. This is not true if they have a network of friends and are socialized from an early age. Micah may be at a disadvantage in terms of academic achievement and self-esteem because he may have less quality time with his parents and his familial income will likely not support the same types of clothes, games, and so forth that Sheila has. This exemplifies the concept of resource dilution. Other research would say, however, that if Micah assumes responsibility for one or more of his siblings, his self-esteem will grow because of his sense of being needed and taking on responsibility at which he is competent. TYPE: E155. (TCOs 7 and 9) Explain the differences in formal operational thought between younger and older teens. How does Piaget account for these differences? a. See Chapter 11, page 292. Younger teens are likely to only focus on the short-term consequences of a behavior or decision. This is explained by some as failure to use formal operational thinking at all and the persistence of concrete thinking. Piaget says that it's simply due to lack of sufficient experience to fully develop formal operations. TYPE: E156. (TCOs 7 and 9) Consider someone you know, perhaps even yourself, who comes from a biracial family. What are some of the struggles that biracial teens have to overcome?

Often, children and teens who come from a biracial family have to prove their authenticity to a parent or peers by adopting the clothing and cultural norms of one culture or the other. Familial and neighborhood variables also influence the teen, depending on the ethnic makeup of the neighborhood. Another factor identified by Maria Root is the phenomenon of being a military brat. If a teen is biracial and moves from place to place, it is likely to be more difficult for them to establish their own identities. TYPE: E157. (TCOs 5 and 10) Summarize some of the characteristics of both the perpetrators and the victims of partner abuse that may contribute to this violence. a. See Chapter 13, page 346. Perpetrators of abuse tend to have irrational feelings of jealousy, a need to control, sudden mood swings, and short tempers. Men who are generally aggressive are more likely to abuse. Men who are high school dropouts or who are frequently unemployed abuse more than other men. Victims of abuse are more likely to have been abused as children than nonvictims. Young women between the ages of 16 and 24 are at highest risk. Younger women lacking in education or the means to support themselves outside of an abusive relationship are at high risk. TYPE: E158. (TCOs 5 and 10) Summarize Holland's typology of personality and work types. Which personality type are you and how does this type match with the college major or career you have chosen (or are considering)? a. See Chapter 14, page 380. The table summarizing Holland's personality types is found on page 422 of the text. Of course, individual responses will vary. TYPE: E159. (TCOs 5 and 10) Summarize the pros and cons of hormone therapy during and after menopause. Include in your answer the effectiveness of HT and how the risks of HT can be reduced. a. See Chapter 15, page 394. HT is only effective at reducing the symptoms of menopause; it does not prolong menopause nor improve reproductive capacity. Even though it was once thought that HT protected women against heart disease and dementia, current research shows that long-term use of HT significantly increases the risk of ovarian and breast cancer and does little to prevent heart disease. The safest means of delivering HT seems to be to deliver the hormones through the skin by using patches or creams. Also, it is important to use the lowest dose possible to obtain the desired effects. TYPE: E160. (TCO 11) Briefly describe the concept of selective optimization with compensation. Give an example of this process. a. See Chapter 15, page 405. Middle-aged adults focus on one task at a time in order to manage the demands of competing tasks. They optimize the skills that they believe can be improved by exercising them as much as possible, using compensatory strategies to offset the effects of aging. An example might be working on a project while alone rather than in a room with other family members. If the project involves physical skills, such as using a hammer and nails, the person will utilize other tools to help hold pieces of the project together while fastening them as they realize that their ability to coordinate and manipulate several pieces of an object at the same time are limited. TYPE: E161. (TCO 11) What are the diagnostic criteria for Internet addictive disorder? In your opinion, is IAD a legitimate disorder, or do you agree with what the text says? a. See Chapter 15, page 403. The criteria are the same as for other addictions. If a person is spending so much time on the Internet that it interferes with their ability to function normally, then it is an addiction. The text says that this is really no different from any other media source. Most professionals agree that any addiction is a symptom of other underlying problems and is not, in and of itself, the disorder. TYPE: E162. (TCO 11) Compare the differences in perceptions of death between middle-aged adults and older adults. How do these differing perceptions affect death anxiety? a. See Chapter 19, page 491. Middle-aged adults report more death anxiety than any other age group. This likely results from the loss of the sense of unique invulnerability as the elders of the family begin to die and the middle-aged adult moves into the elder positions in the family and corporate world. Older adults are not necessarily less preoccupied with death, but they talk about it less. Older people who have a sense of having served a higher purpose (ego integrity) are not as frightened by death as they were at midlife. ................
