prejudicial behaviors by young children particularly in the 3 to 5 year age group are not rooted in

acognitive inability to fit new information and experiences into an existing belief system
b.observation and emulation of pro-social attitudes and behaviors on the part of a significant adult
c continual exposure to an environment that restricts or rejects traits not conforming with one's set of beliefs
d.imitation of a parent's negative comments & responses
I chose B can someone please check this for me

I don't think B is correct. Please re-think this.

how about c which was also my next choice

No, not C either.

There is only one choice that involves things that such young children don't usually do at those ages.

the text did stat information in d. but since it ask for what not rooted in i think it was not the best, so i guess it is d instead of b or c

oh ok at that age children donot really know how to put information and belief together

exactly!

thank you

You're welcome!

To determine if choice B is correct, let's analyze the options given:

Option A suggests that prejudicial behaviors in young children are not rooted in cognitive inability to adapt new information and experiences into their existing belief system. This means that cognitive limitations are not the primary cause of prejudicial behaviors in this age group.

Option B suggests that children observe and emulate pro-social attitudes and behaviors from significant adults in their lives. This implies that they learn and mimic positive behaviors and attitudes that they see displayed by adults.

Option C suggests that prejudicial behaviors in young children are a result of continual exposure to an environment that restricts or rejects traits that do not align with their existing beliefs. This suggests that children learn prejudicial behaviors from an environment that promotes discrimination and rejects traits outside of their belief system.

Option D suggests that children imitate their parents' negative comments and responses, which can lead to the development of prejudicial behaviors.

From these options, it seems that option B is the most plausible answer. Young children, particularly in the 3 to 5 age group, are highly influenced by significant adults in their lives. They observe and emulate behaviors and attitudes that they witness, including pro-social behaviors. Therefore, it is likely that choice B is correct.

However, it is important to note that empirical research and studies in developmental psychology would be required to provide a definitive answer to this question.
