Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 5-6 Topic: Adolescence in Western Cultures: A Brief History Learning Objective: 1.3 Identify the three features that made the years 1890–1920 the Age of Adolescence. Skill: Understand the Concepts Answer: Key changes during these years included the enactment of laws restricting child labor, new requirements for children to attend secondary school, and the development of the field of adolescence as an area of scholarly study. • Child labor laws: In the view of urban reformers, children were being exploited and harmed, both physically and morally. These activists successfully fought for legislation that prohibited companies from hiring preteen children and limited the number of hours young people could work. • School attendance laws: Laws requiring longer periods of schooling and mandatory attendance in both elementary and secondary schools. The proportion of adolescents attending school rose dramatically from 5% of young people age 14 to 17in 1890 to 30% in 1920. • Study of adolescence: The work of G. Stanley Hall began the study of adolescence as a distinct field of scholarship. He wrote the first textbook on adolescence, published in 1904. It covered a wide range of topics, such as physical health and development, adolescence cross-culturally and historically, and adolescent love. A surprising number of Hall’s observations have been verified by recent research, He advocated research in order to improve the conditions for adolescents in family, school, and workplace.

Arnett Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood, 6e Test Bank Topic: The Transition to Adulthood Learning Objective: 1.6 Identify the three markers of adulthood that are the most common across cultures; 1.7 Give examples of how criteria for adulthood vary across cultures. Skill: Understand the Concepts Answer: • In the past two decades, many studies have examined what young people view as the key markers of the transition to adulthood. In these studies, young people from their early teens to their late 20s agreed that the most important markers of the transition from adolescence to adulthood are: 1) accepting responsibility for oneself, 2) making independent decisions, and 3) becoming financially independent, in that order. These three criteria rank highest not just across cultures and nations but across ethnic groups and social classes. All three are characterized by individualism; that is, all three emphasize the importance of learning to stand alone as a self-sufficient person without relying on anyone else. The criteria for adulthood favored by emerging adults in developed countries reflect the individualistic values of those societies. • Traditional, non-Western cultures view marriage as the transition to adulthood. Only after marriage is a person considered to have attained adult status and is given adult privileges and responsibilities. Traditional cultures view marriage as the key transition to adulthood because they see the collectivistic value of interdependence as more important than the individualistic value of independence. Marriage signifies a person is taking on new interdependent relationships outside the family of origin.

Difficulty: 2 Page Reference: 18-20 Topic: The Scientific Study of Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood Learning Objective: 1.8 Describe the five steps of the scientific method. Skill: Understand the Concepts Answer: • Step 1: Identify a Research Question. The question may be generated by a theory or previous research, or it may be a new question based on the researchers own observation or experience. • Step 2: Form a Hypothesis. The hypothesis is the researcher’s idea about a possible answer to the question of interest. • Step 3: Choose a Research Method and a Research Design. The research method is the approach to investigating the hypothesis (interview, questionnaire, etc.). The research design is the plan for when and how to collect data for the study. • Step 4: Collect Data to Test the Hypothesis. This includes selecting a sample that is representative of the population. • Step 5: Draw Conclusions and Form New Questions and Hypotheses. Once the data for a study have been collected, statistical analyses are usually conducted to examine relationships between different parts of the data. Then the analysis must be interpreted and discussed. This discussion is typically in the form of a research article in a professional journal.

Limitations: range of responses is limited by closedended question format, so it does not capture the full depth and complexity of the experience. • Interviews: Advantages: able to capture complexities and richness of experience to provide individuality of responses not possible with questionnaires; interviews allow adolescents’ unique “voices” and perspectives to emerge, so the researcher can understand the “whole person” and interconnectedness of life issues. Limitations: must be coded into categories in order to analyze; interviewing and coding are costly, time-consuming, and require considerable effort and skill.

Arnett Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood, 6e Test Bank Page Reference: 57 Topic: Social and Personal Responses to Puberty Learning Objective: 2.9 Compare and contrast cultures in how puberty influences family relations. Skill: Understand the Concepts Answer: Studies have shown that conflict with parents tends to be especially high for adolescents who mature early. Various explanations have been proposed, centering mostly on how the biologically based incest taboo between parents and children becomes activated once children reach sexual maturity, resulting in more distancing relations. Studies have found that this takes place mainly in two-parent White American families and one study of African American families. Distancing is not common in Latino families or in divorced mother-headed families.

Skill: Remember the Facts Answer: In the 19th century, menarche and menstruation were "taboo" topics in middle class America. Menstruation was associated with sexuality and thus took on the status of a "secret" topic in order to protect the "innocence" of girls. Menarche occurred later (secular trend) and most girls experienced menarche with little or no information. In the 20th century, menarche became more openly discussed and associated with health and hygiene. Information about menstruation was communicated via media and corporations. Today it is rare for girls to reach menarche without some awareness of the process.

Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 81 Topic: The Information-Processing Approach Learning Objective: 3.10 Distinguish between short-term, long-term, and working memory, and explain how adolescents use mnemonic devices. Skill: Analyze It Answer: • Short-term memory: memory for information that is currently the focus of your attention; it has a limited capacity and retains information for a short period of time (30 seconds or less). The more information you have the less efficient shortterm memory is. Working memory is a “mental workbench” where you keep information as you are working on it. • Long-term memory: memory for information that is committed to storage, so you can draw on it even if your attention is not focused on it. Long-term memory has an unlimited capacity, and information is retained indefinitely. The more information you have the more efficient long-term memory is. • Similarities: both improve substantially during adolescence, both are described and detailed as part of information processing; they work together to create human memory.

Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 98-101 Topic: Brain Development in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood Learning Objective: 3.22 Describe the processes of overproduction (or exuberance) and synaptic pruning that take place in the brain during adolescence; 3.23 Explain how myelination and changes in the cerebellum enable new cognitive capacities in adolescence; & 3.24 Summarize how gray and white matter change through emerging adulthood and beyond, and the neurological changes that make emerging adulthood a stage of high potential as well as high risk. Skill: Remember the Facts Answer: • It is clear that the brain grows a lot more, and a lot differently than we had known in the past. Overproduction peaks at about age 11 or 12, but obviously that is not when our cognitive abilities peak. In the years that follow, a massive amount of synaptic pruning takes place, in which the overproduction of synapses is whittled down considerably. Like overproduction, myelination was previously thought to be over prior to puberty but has now been found to continue through the teens. The cerebellum continues to grow through adolescence and well into emerging adulthood. • The new findings confirm in many ways what we had known from studies using other methods, that adolescents are distinctly different and more advanced in their thinking than children are, but their cognitive development is not yet mature. Their abilities in areas such as making decisions, anticipating the consequences of their actions, and solving complex problems are not as advanced as they will be once they have reached adulthood and their basic brain development is more or less complete. • There are both gains and losses in the course of brain development in adolescence and emerging adulthood. The same neurological changes that make thinking faster and more efficient also make it more rigid and less flexible.

Skill: Analyze It Answer: • Piaget believed that development proceeds from the individual to the social world. Egocentric speech suggests that the child is self-centered and unable to consider the point of view of others. Piaget also maintained that development precedes learning. • Vygotsky believed that development begins at the social level and moves towards individual internalization. Egocentric speech is seen as a transition between the child's learning language in a social communicative context and attempting to internalize it as "private" or "inner speech" (i.e., thoughts). For Vygotsky, learning precedes development. • Both agree that development may be initiated by cognitive conflict. • Like Piaget, Vygotsky believed that children's egocentric speech was an important part of their cognitive development. The two differed in how they viewed the purpose of egocentric speech.

African American and Puerto Rican adolescents are more likely to have a separation orientation (legacy of racism and discrimination in America). • Marginality: rejecting one's culture of origin, but also experiencing rejection from the majority culture. Marginality is common among Native American adolescents (legacy of legislated cultural destruction). • Biculturalism: dual identity based upon one's ethnic group of origin and based in the majority culture. Overall, minority adolescents tend to view themselves as bicultural. Mexican American and Asian American adolescents are most likely to view themselves as bicultural.

As well as divorce, there has been a rise in children living in households where parents have never been married. • Rise in the rate of dual-earner families -- the rise of industrialization took most employment outside of the home and farm into factories, larger business, and government organizations. The trend in the last 50 years has been the rise of dual-earner families as mothers followed fathers out of the home and into the workplace.

TB_07_95_Problems in Family Functioning_Analyze_7.18 Compare and contrast the description of street children from around the world. Use examples from India, Brazil, and/or Kenya. Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 222 Topic: Problems in Family Functioning Learning Objective: 7.18 Distinguish running away from home in developed countries from becoming “street children” in developing countries. Skill: Analyze It Answer: • In India, there are more than 11 million street children. Reasons for living on the street include: overcrowded homes, physical abuse, and parental substance abuse. About half of Indian street children are homeless; for street children, 4 out of 5 of their families are also homeless. Most work as beggars, vendors, shoe shiners, or car cleaners. They have high rates of a variety of diseases such as cholera and typhoid; they are vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse. Additionally, they are in frequent conflict with their parents over low earnings, disobedience, and watching movies (a very popular form of recreation in India). Typically, street children form gangs. • In Brazil, the estimates of street children range from 7 to 30 million. Many are driven to the streets by poverty -- seeking food, money, or clothes; some return home bringing what they have collected on the streets. Many make a slow transition to the streets by going out only a few hours a day until they don't return home at all; they are viewed as little criminals and future thieves. • In Kenya, there is a distinction between street boys and street girls. Street boys outnumber street girls. Street boys typically maintain contact with their families, often continuing to live with them and bringing most of their money home. Street boys demonstrate impressive resourcefulness -- forming friendships, taking advantage of aid programs, and developing cognitive skills, while street girls, often leaving home to avoid sexual abuse, typically have no further contact with their families. They do not form friendships with other girls. Street girls are evaluated mainly in sexual terms -if they are considered unattractive, they are shunned, and if they are viewed as attractive they are forced into prostitution. Often, the leaders of street boy gangs take several street girls as "wives," providing them with food and protection from other boys in return for sex.

Arnett Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood, 6e Test Bank Answer: Relational aggression is the term used to describe behavior that includes sarcasm, ridicule, gossiping, spreading rumors, snubbing, and excluding others from the group. Relational aggression is a phenomenon recently identified among cliques of adolescent girls. It is posited that girls resort to relational aggression because their gender role prohibits more direct expression of conflict and disagreement. While they experience anger, they are not allowed to express it openly, even in a verbal form; aggression takes a more covert and indirect form. Relational aggression can also be a means of asserting dominance among peers.

Consequences include: higher rates of aggression-related problems and greater likelihood of dropping out of school. • Neglected adolescents are neither liked nor disliked strongly by peers; they are "unnoticed" by their peers, are usually shy and withdrawn, and lack social skills to make and keep friends. Consequences include: low self-esteem, loneliness, depression, alcohol abuse. • Controversial adolescents generate mixed responses among peers. Rather than being consistently popular or unpopular, they may be strongly liked as well as strongly disliked, by different people and by the same people on different occasions. They tend to be aggressive, but also possess strong social skills.

Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 264-265 Topic: Love’s Beginnings, Development, and Endings Learning Objective: 9.3 Explain how Sternberg’s theory of love applies to adolescents. Skill: Apply What You Know Answer: • Liking is intimacy alone, without passion or commitment. This is the type of love that characterizes most friendships. Infatuation is passion alone, without intimacy or commitment. • Infatuation involves a great deal of physiological and emotional arousal, and a heightened level of sexual desire, but without emotional closeness to the person or an enduring commitment. • Empty love is commitment alone, without passion or intimacy. This might apply to a couple who has been married for many years and who has lost the passion and intimacy in their relationship, but nevertheless remain together. It also applies to the early stages of marriage in cultures where marriages are arranged by parents. • Romantic love combines passion and intimacy, but without commitment. This is the kind of love people mean when the talk about being "in love." It is often experienced as intense and joyful but it rarely lasts long. • Companionate love combines intimacy and commitment, but without passion. It may be applied to married or long-term couples who have gradually decreased their passion for each other but have maintained the other qualities of their love. • Fatuous love involves passion and commitment without intimacy. This kind of love would apply to a "whirlwind" courtship where two people meet, fall passionately in love, and get married, all within a few weeks, before they even have time to know each other well. • Consummate love integrates all three aspects of love into the ultimate love relationship. It is the kind of love that represents the ideal for many people.

Parents seem 40 ..

Arnett Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood, 6e Test Bank to accept the sexual activity of adolescents, somewhat. Parents thought they should know the adolescent partner well before becoming sexually involved. They also wanted to know that the sexual component had built up gradually over time, and that there was responsible use of contraceptives. There was a difference of opinion whether a boyfriend would be allowed to sleep overnight in their home. Even in a society that is relatively open and accepting of adolescents’ sexuality, communication between parents and adolescents on this topic is not easy. • The United States is considerably more conservative than the Netherlands but the American majority culture would probably be classified as semirestrictive and somewhat ambivalent with mixed messages. Many Americans think that it is acceptable for unmarried adolescents and emerging adults to have sexual intercourse, but many others do not. The prohibitions are not strongly enforced and are easily evaded. Although there is less stigma against premarital sex, a gender double standard exists in cultural attitudes toward adolescent sexuality.

Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 333 Topic: Adolescent Work in Traditional Cultures Learning Objective: 11.1 Describe the main forms that work has taken for adolescents in traditional cultures. Skill: Analyze It Answer: • Benefits -- although the globalization of economic life holds the promise of making life better for people around the world, preindustrial economic life can be hard; simply providing the everyday necessities of life is a lot of work without industrialization. Entry into the global economy, however, is usually accompanied by increased access to electricity which often makes preparing food, obtaining water, and performing daily chores considerably easier. Entry into the global economy is also usually accompanied by increased access to education and medical care. • Problems -- can be the potential for increased brutal work in terrible conditions for miserable pay. The burden of much of this work is falling on the shoulders of adolescents because they are more capable than children of doing useful industrial work and less capable than adults of asserting their rights and resisting maltreatment. In India, a particularly brutal system for exploiting adolescent labor is called debt bondage. The worst form of exploitation of adolescents’ work is prostitution.

Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 342 Topic: Adolescent Work Today Learning Objective: 11.7 Describe how working promotes problem behavior in adolescence. Skill: Apply What You Know Answer: • Examples of occupational deviance would be -- falsely calling in sick, giving away things free or for less than value, taking things from employer or coworkers, working while drunk or high, putting more hours on timecard than were actually worked, lying to employer to get or keep job, taking money from work, purposely short-changing a customer, or purposely damaging employer's property. • Explanations for occupational deviance may be that work is often boring and tedious, jobs are not seen by the adolescents as leading to anything they plan to be doing in the future, and not much feeling of personal investment in the job. If you get caught doing these things you might get fired but who cares, there are plenty of other jobs of the same type that are easily available. The adolescent workplace has little adult supervision, and adolescents do not feel close to the adults they work with, so they may feel they have little obligation or responsibility to these adults to behave ethically.

TB_11_94_Work in Emerging Adulthood_Apply_11.15 Meandering or drifting/floundering have been used to describe many emerging adults’ work experiences. Using examples, explain why this description may be accurate. Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 353 Topic: Work in Emerging Adulthood Learning Objective: 11.15 Describe the typical experiences of emerging adults in looking for a job. Skill: Apply What You Know Answer: • "Meandering" might be a more accurate word or maybe drifting or even floundering than “exploration” -- for many emerging adults, working in their late teens and early 20s simply means finding a job, any job that will pay the bills until something better comes along. • Many emerging adults express a sense that they did not really choose their current job; one day they just found themselves in it, like a ball that rolls randomly on a pocked surface until it lands in one of the holes. • "I just fell into it" is a frequently-used phrase when they describe how they found their current jobs. Their eventual goal is to find a job they love and that fits their interests and abilities, but virtually all of them have many jobs in their late teens and early 20s that have little or nothing to do with this goal.

Skill: Understand the Concepts Answer: • From the mid-1970s through the present, about 22% of high school seniors have reported taking part in volunteer work on a weekly or monthly basis.

They tend to have high ideals and to perceive a higher degree of similarity between their "actual selves" and their "ideal selves" than other adolescents do. In addition to wanting to help others, adolescents also volunteer because it gives them a sense of personal satisfaction, they develop a greater sense of social responsibility, and they enjoy doing the work. Adolescents who participate in community service often indicate that one or both parents do so as well. 41 ..

False Essay TB_12_91_Adolescents’ Interactions with Media: Rates, Theories, and Uses_Analyze_12.2 Define the uses and gratifications approach in terms of adolescents' media consumption. Discuss implications in terms of interpreting existing correlational research on media use and adolescent behavior. Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 364 Topic: Adolescents’ Interactions with Media: Rates, Theories, and Uses Learning Objective: 12.2 Identify the major theories of media use, and describe the Media Practice Model. Skill: Analyze It Answer: • Uses and gratifications approach -- is an approach to understanding media that emphasizes viewing people as active media consumers. The uses and gratifications approach is based on two key principles. The first is that people differ in numerous ways that lead them to make different choices about which media to consume, and second is that even people consuming the same media product will respond to it in a variety of ways, depending upon their individual characteristics. • Adolescents are active participants in the consumption of media. This has implications regarding the choices they make in terms of media content. Correlational research shows the relation between adolescent media consumption (e.g., violent television) and behavior (e.g., aggression). However, it is impossible to prove causation from the results of correlational research. It is important to consider contextual factors, etc. when interpreting research. For example, perhaps adolescents who live in violent contexts may listen to violent music to achieve a cathartic effect. TB_12_92_Adolescents’ Interactions with Media: Rates, Theories, and Uses_Apply_12.2 Describe the Media Practice Model of the uses and gratifications theory in terms of adolescents' active uses of media, noting three categories of active uses.

(For example, Jessica enjoys the articles in the magazine that highlight female athletes, but boycotts the Swimsuit Edition because she thinks it is sexist and portrays women as objects.) • Application -- the adolescents engage in application of the media content they have chosen. (For example, Jessica responds to the swimsuit edition by rejecting the models as a false ideal; Jessica responds to the articles about female athletes in terms of role models for her own progress as an athlete and striving to achieve her goals.)

Skill: Apply What You Know Answer: • A recent national survey showed that more (49%) adolescents said "they learn a lot from" television and movies, a higher percentage than learned a lot from their mothers (38%) or fathers (31%). • Media are largely market-driven and therefore its consumers (i.e., adolescents) largely determine the content. This means that, adolescents have greater control over media as a socialization source than they do over other sources 40 ..

TB_12_95_The Future of Media Use_Analyze_12.11 Discuss possible implications of media as an important force behind the globalization of adolescence. Provide two related examples from research discussed in Chapter 12. Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 378-382 Topic: The Future of Media Use Learning Objective: 12.11 Summarize the evidence that media play a leading role in the globalization of adolescence. Skill: Analyze It Answer: • Widespread international distribution of media has resulted in adolescents the world over being familiar with the same television shows, music, etc. This has implications in terms of socialization factors -- in traditional cultures, adolescents are growing up in socialization contexts very different from that of their parents. Media provides information on what the "global village" of their future will be like. • Example: Davis and Davis (1995) found that among Moroccan youth, narrow gender socialization was replicated via differential gender access to new media. • Example: Liechty's (1995) Nepal study (Cultural Focus Box, p. 390). • Example: Condon's (1988, 1995) study of the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic regarding the introduction of television to the community.

TB_13_92_Externalizing Problems_Apply_13.1 Define internalizing and externalizing problems. Provide three examples of each type of problem. Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 385-386 Topic: Externalizing Problems Learning Objective: 13.1 Distinguish between internalizing and externalizing problems. Skill: Apply What You Know Answer: • Internalizing problems -- take place when people turn their distress inward toward themselves. Adolescents with internalizing problems are sometimes called "overcontrolled" and tend to come from families with tight parental psychological control. As a result, their own personalities are often overly controlled and self-punishing. Young people with internalizing problems usually feel distress. Internalizing problems are more likely to be experienced by girls. Three examples: depression, anxiety, eating disorders. • Externalizing problems -- are problems that are directed outward rather than inward. Adolescents with externalizing problems are sometimes referred to as "undercontrolled" and tend to come from families lacking parental monitoring and control. Additionally, they tend to lack self-control themselves, which then leads to their externalizing problems. Distress is not often experienced with externalizing problems. Externalizing problems are more likely to be experienced by males. Three examples: delinquency, substance abuse, risky driving. TB_13_93_Externalizing Problems_Apply_13.5 Describe three types of substance use in adolescence, providing an example for each.

Skill: Apply What You Know Answer: • Experimental -- adolescent tries a substance once or twice out of curiosity, and then does not develop a pattern of use afterwards. Much adolescent substance use falls into this category. • Social -- involves the use of substances during social activities, such as parties and dances, with one or more friends. • Medicinal or self-medication -- involves substance use in order to relieve an unpleasant emotional state such as sadness, anxiety, stress, or loneliness. Adolescents who self-medicate tend to use substances more frequently than those in the previous two categories. • Note -- students will provide their own examples. 39 ..

TB_13_94_Internalizing Problems_Remember_13.11 Define and briefly explain the goals and processes of cognitive-behavior therapy for treating depression in adolescents. Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 403 Topic: Internalizing Problems Learning Objective: 13.11 Explain the benefits and risks of antidepressant medications, and evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy. Skill: Remember the Facts Answer: • Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) recognizes that depression is characterized by negative attributions or negative ways of explaining what happens in one’s own life (e.g., adolescents may believe their situation is unchangeable and out of their control, and they may ruminate on the negative). • CBT addresses these thinking patterns with a goal of helping the adolescent to recognize the cognitive habits that are promoting depression. • Therapy includes getting the adolescent to critically analyze and actively work on changing his or her behaviors and cognitive habits. The therapist actively challenges the negative attributions, so that the client will examine them critically and begin to see them as distortions of reality. • Processes include role-playing, conversing with the therapist, and practicing new ways of thinking and interacting. TB_13_95_Internalizing Problems_Remember_13.12 List two strong predictors of suicide among adolescents. Briefly outline gender differences in adolescent suicide rates. Difficulty: 3 Page Reference: 404 Topic: Internalizing Problems Learning Objective: 13.12 Describe the most important risk factors for suicide in adolescence. Skill: Remember the Facts Answer: • Family disruption -- risk factor from family life that is chaotic, high in conflict, and low in warmth. Suicide or suicide attempt is often preceded by a period of months during which family problems have become more severe. • Substance abuse problems -- may be an attempt at self-medication for distress. • Gender differences: females are about four times more likely than males to attempt suicide, and males are about four times more likely than females to kill themselves. Males are more likely than females to use violent means to commit suicide, e.g., males are more likely to use guns or hanging; females are more likely to use an overdose of pills. 40 ..
