1 It has been argued by your text book author and others that the unique characteristic of humans that sets them apart from non-humans is that humans have an innate desire to:

reproduce and take care of their offspring

communicate with each other with non-verbal signals

use tools

→ understand the reasons that events occur

Multiple Choice Question

35 How are children viewed today?

As miniature adults

As unworthy of scientific study

Sigmund Freud Charles Darwin

→ Jacqueline Lerner and Nancy Galambos

Jean Piaget

37 The modern conception of adolescence was a result of:

the recognition that adolescents needed strict guidelines and rules

→ the Industrial Revolution

understanding that extreme emotions were the result of rampant hormones

38 described adolescence as a time of "storm and stress."

William James John Locke

→ G Stanley Hall

Alfred Binet

is an inevitable if uncomfortable part of maturation

makes the transition to adulthood easier as emotional bonds are often strained

is virtually nonexistent in most cases

→ Continuity versus discontinuity

Nature versus nurture

Blooms: Application Learning Objective: 01-04 What are the major issues in lifespan development?

64 Which of the following represents the prevailing attitude among developmental psychologists pertaining to the continuity versus discontinuity of development issue?

→ Most psychologists agree that development is a process combining both continuous and discontinuous change Most psychologists adhere to the notion that development is largely discontinuous

Most psychologists adhere to the notion that development is largely continuous

A majority feel that continuity is not a relevant issue, because development is genetically preprogrammed

Multiple Choice Question Learning Objective: 01-04 What are the major issues in lifespan development? Blooms: Knowledge

65 According to developmental psychologist Michael Lewis, the developmental changes we experience are directly related to:

a stable process that is genetically controlled

→ the random and unpredictable conditions in our lives

natural processes unfolding

Trang 9

slow and continuous stages that are universal.

66 As emphasized by the text author, the developmental paths that unfold for each individual are largely a product of:

their genetic makeup

→ the interaction between genes and the environment

the influence of their environment

random and unpredictable conditions

67 The versus issue revolves around the question of whether development is more a product of genetic or environmental influences

→ nature; nurture

continuous; discontinuous biological; psychological storm; stress

68 According to Bjorklund, is there a nature-nurture controversy for developmental psychologists?

Yes, the controversy rages on

Bjorklund did not speak on the nature-nurture controversy

→ No, because biological factors are inseparable from experiential factors

He thought the controversy should end, because clearly nature had prevailed as a result of the Human Genome Project

69 According to the text author, regardless of the method of investigation, the ultimate question for understanding human behavior is:

whether nature or nurture is more important

if traits develop continuously or in punctuated time periods

→ why behaviors develop and occur as they do

if behavior is adaptive or not

Multiple Choice Question Learning Objective: 01-04 What are the major issues in lifespan development? Blooms: Knowledge

70 The first step of scientific inquiry is establishing a testable:

theory

methodology

explanation of behavior

Multiple Choice Question Learning Objective: 01-05 What is the role of research in studying lifespan development? Blooms: Comprehension

syllogism theory principle

Multiple Choice Question Learning Objective: 01-05 What is the role of research in studying lifespan development? Blooms: Knowledge

72 The fundamental approach to understanding behavior through the scientific method is through:

philosophical analysis

meta-analysis

peer review

73 When you have identified a research problem using a theory (which by definition is well-established), designed a study to investigate the problem, collected and analysed the data, drawn conclusions, and communicated the conclusions to your peers, you have engaged in:

the common sense approach to psychology

applied research

→ the scientific method

the descriptive process

Trang 10

74 With which data collection method(s) does the researcher gather information without conducting an experiment?

77 A researcher conducts a detailed study of a 13-year-old boy who was a member of a gang and was murdered by a rival gang The study was done by interviewing his relatives, friends, and teachers This is an example of what research

method?

Naturalistic experiment Observational study Self-report study

Multiple Choice Question Learning Objective: 01-05 What is the role of research in studying lifespan development? Blooms: Application

78 What is an advantage of descriptive studies?

→ Generating a great deal of data

Determining cause and effect Discovering cause and effect in real-life settings Determining stability of behaviours

79 A disadvantage of descriptive studies is:

they are most effective with small numbers of subjects

representative samples are difficult to gather

statistical analysis is limited to graphs

→ the researcher has no control over either subjects or the events influencing their behavior

80 The technique that provides a numerical evaluation of how great the degree of association is between two variables is known as:

a descriptive study

a manipulative experiment

naturalistic observation

→ correlation

Blooms: Knowledge Learning Objective: 01-05 What is the role of research in studying lifespan development?

81 While descriptive studies are useful for generating large amounts of data, they are not useful for:

making predictions

making conclusions about relationships

→ inferring cause and effect relationships

understanding developmental processes
