Individuation is the process through which a person comes
to think of himself or herself as a distinct person despite
being a member of a family. - Answer-Children at first
identify entirely with the mores, norms, and values of their
family; it is only after prolonged exposure to other people
outside the home that a child will begin to question his or
her upbringing and perhaps modify his or her belief
system. A fully individualized person is able to maintain a
coherent personality without renouncing membership in a
family with which he or she may have some disagreement.
Agrarian societies are more likely to live with their
extended families. - Answer-An extended family is
comprised of more than one adult couple. For instance, it
might include a man and a woman, their children, and their
grandchildren. Agrarian societies in which people tend the
same land for their entire lives are more conducive to the
maintenance of the extended family. This is in part
because it is more difficult for a large group to move
,2|Page
around together. In modern, industrial, urban, and
nomadic societies, it is more common for people to be
grouped together in nuclear families (one adult couple and
their children)
Financial Stability is NOT necessary for a person to
commit emotionally to a marriage. - Answer-Despite
money being a main issue for divorce, it is more important
for partners to have good self-esteem, empathy, a feeling
of permanence in the relationship, and strong personal
identities. Solid marriages weather the inevitable hard
times with a mixture of humor, empathy, and habit. The
idea of empathy is particularly important in marriage
because it implies that each partner may not fully
understand the other. Nevertheless, a loving spouse with
try to help whenever possible.
Having a child between the ages of 2 and 4 has little to no
effect on job satisfaction. - Answer-Research suggests that
parents often feel some strain as they occupy multiple
roles, but this is offset by the enjoyment they derive from
their work. Having a newborn, on the other hand, has a
noticeably damaging effect on job satisfaction. The
demands of caring for a newborn, as well as the desire to
spend as much time as possible with this new child, make
,3|Page
it unpleasant to be away from home for any reason.
Flexible scheduling, high wages, and intellectual challenge
are all directly correlated with job satisfaction.
Accepting that the marriage is over is the first step a
person should take after divorce. - Answer-Psychologists
estimate that it takes most people at least two years to
accept divorce entirely. Until this is reached, the divorcee
should not initiate a new relationship. The best way to
complete the process of acceptance is to establish an
individual identity. This may include developing a balance
between being single and being a parent. It is appropriate
to plan for the future, but people should be aware that it is
impossible to predict what they will want once they have
fully processed the finality of the divorce.
Sibling rivalry is most pronounced in same-sex siblings
within three years of age. - Answer-In the first eight to ten
years of life, siblings tend to alternate between
cooperation and competition. As they grow older, they will
often spend little time together for a few years, but during
adolescence will gradually develop empathy for one
another. Most research suggests that adult relationships
between siblings simply exaggerate the tone of the
, 4|Page
relationship of the youth; that is, good relationships get
better and bad relationships get worse.
Married women typically earn a lower wage than single
women. - Answer-This is an exception to the general
trend, which is that married people are healthier, wealthier,
and more content than their single counterparts. Married
men are less likely to abuse alcohol and drugs, and less
likely to become depressed. Married women are healthier
and more likely to report satisfaction with their home lives.
One reason why married women may earn less money is
that they are more likely to be raising children, and
therefore less focused on professional development.
Despite reports about the decline of marriage, an
overwhelming majority of Americans will marry at least
once during their lives.
Accepting a stepparent is hardest for adolescent girls. -
Answer-The bond between a stepparent, particularly a
stepfather, and an adolescent girl takes the longest to
form. One possible reason for this phenomenon is that
stepfathers tend to be less engaged with stepdaughters
than with stepsons. The effect of remarriage on children is
much the same as divorce because it involves a
fundamental restructuring of the family concept.
