He will be your best source of information ... answer his questions and he should be able to help you.
psychological theories about children emphasise much more the necessities of explaining behaviour rather than labelling or judging it
psychological theories of developing stress the goal-related character of childrens behaviour.behaviour is always directed towards achieving something
goal=achieving something
so a is right ???
Yes, a is right.
Are you having trouble understanding what you are reading in these texts? It seems so ... and my suggestion is that you take a reading comprehension class while you are taking these psych classes. Reading comprehension classes will do two things: increase your understanding of what you read and build your vocabulary.
Please read this article carefully to understand why building your vocabulary is so necessary if you want to succeed:

Thank you so much
You're welcome.
One thing I've always heard from people -- that early psych classes are basically vocabulary classes!! You need to make sure you understand every single word in every single sentence. Use these online dictionaries when you need to look up words:

Both of these have definitions from several different dictionaries.

To determine the correct answer, let's break down each option and consider the characteristics of psychological theories regarding children's behavior.
a. Goal-oriented: This perspective suggests that children's behavior is driven by their desires, motives, and goals. They actively engage in behaviors to achieve their objectives or meet their needs. This viewpoint aligns with several psychological theories, such as behaviorism and social cognitive theory, which emphasize the role of goals and motivations in guiding children's behavior.
b. Instinctive: This viewpoint implies that children's behavior is primarily instinct-driven, meaning their actions are instinctual and biologically predetermined. While instincts can play a role in certain aspects of behavior, psychological theories typically emphasize the influence of environmental factors, learning, and cognition over instinct.
c. Emotion-triggered: This viewpoint suggests that children's behavior is mainly driven by their emotions. It posits that emotional responses or triggers dictate how children behave. Although emotions play a significant role in children's behavior, psychological theories also emphasize cognitive processes, social influences, and environmental factors.
d. Constant: This option implies that children's behavior is constant and unchanging. However, psychological theories recognize that children's behavior is dynamic, developmental, and influenced by various factors such as age, socialization, and individual differences.
Based on the information provided, it is logical to choose option a. Goal-oriented, as it aligns with the emphasis placed by psychological theories on children's behavior being driven by their desires, motivations, and goals.
