Family Form - Correct answer-Who is in your family (nuclear, single parent, extended,
childless, step family, grandparents...)
Family Function - Correct answer-How your family operates
What is the field of Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS)? - Correct answer-
Working with individuals and families with one or more of the following: Psychology,
education, sociology, early intervention, school-based problems, health related
problems, therapy, case management
Average life expectancy - Correct answer-78.7 years
Qualitative Data - Correct answer-participants' viewpoint via questionnaires/interviews,
no statistical analysis used, subjectivity unavoidable
Quantitative Data - Correct answer-numerical data, statistical analysis
What are the 3 areas of development? - Correct answer-Physical, intellectual, emotional
Do these areas relate to one another? - Correct answer-Yes; a person born with
addiction (physical) will have restricted brain development + function (intellectual) which
may cause them to feel scared, powerless, or lack of attachment (emotional)
What are developmental milestones? - Correct answer-Specific behaviors and skills that
can be expected at certain point in development. Although individuals develop
differently, missing milestones can indicate a problem in development
Why is it important that parents pay attention to important motor milestones achieved by
their child? - Correct answer-To ensure the child's development is progressing in a
healthy manner; missed motor milestones could indicate a developmental issue
Experimental study design - Correct answer-How a study is conducted and how
participants are sorted into groups
Non-Empirical Research - Correct answer-personal reflection, anecdotes, positions,
experiences
Empirical Research - Correct answer-systematic observations to test hypotheses
Data - Correct answer-Facts / stats collected for reference or statistical analysis
, Sampling technique - Correct answer-The way in which a researcher chooses/recruits
participants for a study
Basic Research - Correct answer-conducted to test and develop theories, generate
general information, little real-world application, does not benefit anyone directly, but
can lead to development of other questions
Applied Research - Correct answer-solving of day-to-day problems within a subject area
(continuously informs the work done with children and families)
Longitudinal Study - Correct answer-same group of participants, same age, over time.
Used to assess how a single generation changes over time. Patterns may be
inconsistent in subsequent generations, and participants may drop out of the study
Cross-Sectional Study - Correct answer-different ages of participants at the same time.
Differences in age = variable of interest. Does not take into account generational effects
Theory - Correct answer-Interconnected ideas that logically explain a particular pattern
of behaviors
Microsystem - Correct answer-immediate surroundings or experiences
(people/objects/environment)
Mesosystem - Correct answer-connections across different microsystems
Exosystem - Correct answer-social setting that may not be experienced firsthand but
still influences their development (parental job/parental socialization)
Macrosystem - Correct answer-cultures and subcultures in which microsystems are
embedded
Nature vs Nurture - Correct answer-To what degree do genetic influences determine
traits and behaviors of an individual as opposed to environmental influences?
0-2 Sensorimotor - Correct answer-infant's knowledge of world based on senses and
motor skills (object permanence, reaction to caregiver, simple reflexes)
2-7 Preoperational Thought - Correct answer-child learns to use symbols to represent
aspects of the world (understanding of emotions, talking, increased mobility)
7-11 Concrete Operational Thought - Correct answer-child understands and applies
logical thinking to experiences (understanding of others' perspectives, increased
physical independence)
