1. __________ parenting in particular is linked to emerging adults' psychological well-being.

• A. Overprotective
• B. Permissive
• C. Autonomy-supportive
• D. Helicopter

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Autonomy-supportive parenting, which encourages independence and decision-making skills, is positively linked to the psychological well-being of emerging adults. This style of parenting fosters resilience and self-esteem. Overprotective parenting (choice A) may hinder the development of autonomy and problem-solving abilities, leading to increased anxiety. Permissive parenting (choice B) lacks structure and limits, potentially resulting in difficulties with self-regulation. Helicopter parenting (choice D) involves excessive intervention and control, which can impede the development of self-reliance and confidence.

2. What is one limitation of the ethnographic method?

• A. Investigators' cultural values sometimes lead them to misinterpret what they see.
• B. It provides little information on how children and adults actually behave.
• C. It relies on unobtrusive techniques, such as surveillance cameras and one-way mirrors.
• D. It provides little information about the reasoning behind participants' responses.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The limitation of the ethnographic method is that investigators' cultural values sometimes lead them to misinterpret what they see. This can introduce bias into the observations and potentially impact the accuracy of the findings. It is important for researchers to be aware of their own biases and strive to minimize their influence when conducting ethnographic studies. Choice B is incorrect because ethnographic methods actually aim to provide rich information on how individuals behave within their cultural contexts. Choice C is incorrect as ethnographic methods typically involve direct observation and participation rather than unobtrusive techniques like surveillance cameras. Choice D is incorrect because one of the strengths of ethnographic research is its ability to uncover the reasoning behind participants' responses by immersing the researcher in the cultural setting.

3. When classmates are asked to rate each other's likability, __________ children get many positive votes, whereas __________ children are seldom mentioned.

• A. popular; neglected
• B. neglected; rejected
• C. popular; rejected
• D. controversial; neglected

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'popular; neglected.' Popular children are well-liked by their peers, hence they receive many positive votes. Neglected children, on the other hand, are often overlooked or ignored, resulting in them being seldom mentioned. Choice B is incorrect because neglected and rejected have different meanings. Choice C is incorrect as popular and rejected do not align with the likability context provided in the question. Choice D is incorrect as controversial does not directly relate to likability in the context of the question.

4. Which statement about interventions that support parents and preterm infants is true?

• A. Preterm infants whose parents receive coaching show no gains in mental test performance.
• B. Babies who are both preterm and economically disadvantaged require long-term, intensive intervention.
• C. For economically disadvantaged parents of preterm infants, just a few sessions of coaching are required.
• D. Even for parents with adequate economic and personal resources, long-term, intensive intervention is necessary. Answer: B Page Ref: 100 Skill Level: Understand Copyright © 2018 Laura E. Berk. All Rights Reserved. 29 Test Bank for Berk, Development Through the Lifespan, 7e interventions. Topic: Preterm and Low-Birth-Weight Infants Difficulty Level: Moderate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Babies who are both preterm and economically disadvantaged typically require long-term, intensive intervention. This is because the combination of being born preterm and being economically disadvantaged can pose significant challenges for the infant's development. Providing ongoing support and interventions can help address these challenges and promote healthy development in these infants.

5. Dr. Redmund characterizes his view of development as a bioecological model. His perspective is aligned with that of which theorist?

• A. Jean Piaget
• B. Urie Bronfenbrenner
• C. Lev Vygotsky
• D. Niko Tinbergen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Dr. Redmund's view of development aligns with the bioecological model, which is associated with Urie Bronfenbrenner. This model emphasizes the interaction between an individual's biological characteristics and environmental influences in development. Jean Piaget's theory focuses on cognitive development, Lev Vygotsky's theory emphasizes social interactions, and Niko Tinbergen is known for his work in animal behavior and instinct, not human development. Therefore, the correct answer is Urie Bronfenbrenner (Choice B).
