I'll be glad to check your answers.
I'm surprised that someone who seems to be studying to go into educating young minds needs to post this long string of questions ... without a single idea about what YOU THINK for each one.
Please ... we need really good teachers in our classrooms, not people who feel the need to ask others to do their jobs for them.
Amen, Writeacher!
1. The answer to question 1 is c. event sampling. In this study, researchers used event sampling to record each instance in which a child cried, followed by other children's reactions. Event sampling involves recording specific events or behaviors as they occur.
2. The answer to question 2 is c. initiative versus guilt. According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, children learn how to cooperate with others during the initiative versus guilt stage. This stage occurs during the preschool years, when children begin to take initiative in their actions and learn the importance of cooperating with others.
3. The answer to question 3 is a. +1.00 to -1.00. A correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that represents the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. It can range in value from +1.00, indicating a perfect positive correlation, to -1.00, indicating a perfect negative correlation. A correlation coefficient of 0 indicates no correlation between the variables.
4. The answer to question 4 is a. id; ego; superego. According to Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the id, ego, and superego are three components of the human personality. The id operates on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification of desires. The ego operates on the reality principle, mediating between the demands of the id and the constraints of the outside world. The superego represents the internalized moral standards and conscience.
5. The answer to question 5 is d. views children as blank slates. One criticism of the information-processing approach is that it views children as blank slates, implying that they have no innate abilities or predispositions. This criticism suggests that the approach does not adequately consider the influence of inherited traits and biological factors on children's development.
6. The answer to question 6 is d. behaviorism. During the middle of the twentieth century, North American psychology was dominated by behaviorism. Behaviorism is a psychological approach that emphasizes the study of observable behavior and the role of environmental factors in shaping behavior.
7. The answer to question 7 is b. a tabula rasa. British philosopher John Locke viewed the child as a tabula rasa, which means a blank slate. In his philosophy, Locke believed that children are born without innate knowledge or ideas and that their experiences and interactions shape their development.
