1. In order to determine the personality of adopted children, we need to compare their personalities to different groups: other children in adoptive families, biologically related siblings, adoptive parents, and caregivers of biological parents. Based on the given options, the personality of adopted children would be most similar to the personalities of their biologically related siblings.
So the correct answer is b.
2. Among employed women, raising children is likely to be associated with decreasing marital satisfaction, as it can be demanding and time-consuming. On the other hand, when mature children leave home, it is typically associated with increasing marital satisfaction, as it allows the parents more freedom and flexibility. Therefore, the correct answer is a.
3. The pop-out phenomenon refers to a stimulus that stands out and captures our attention automatically, even when we are not deliberately paying attention to it. It illustrates selective attention, as certain stimuli can grab our attention and "pop out" from the surrounding environment. Therefore, the correct answer is c.
4. Both classical and operant conditioning are forms of associative learning, where we learn to associate stimuli or behaviors with specific outcomes or consequences. Therefore, the correct answer is a.
5. Tonya's research, where she compared the reports of life satisfaction across different age levels, is an example of a cross-sectional study. Cross-sectional studies involve collecting data from different groups at the same time to compare them. Longitudinal studies involve collecting data from the same group over an extended period of time. Therefore, the correct answer is c.
6. If a positive correlation between two sets of scores is displayed as a scatterplot, the points will cluster in a pattern that extends from the lower left to the upper right of the graph. This indicates a positive relationship between the variables, as one variable increases, so does the other. Therefore, the correct answer is b
1. The personalities of adopted children are a combination of various factors. However, research suggests that they are generally more similar to the personalities of their biological siblings (option b) than they are to the personalities of their adoptive parents (option c).
2. Among employed women, the task of raising children is especially likely to be associated with decreasing marital satisfaction (option b). The departure of mature children from home is typically associated with increasing marital satisfaction (option c).
3. The pop-out phenomenon illustrates that some stimuli almost inevitably trigger selective attention (option c).
4. Both classical and operant conditioning are forms of associative learning (option a).
5. Tonya's research, where she compared the reports of life satisfaction across different age levels, best illustrates a cross-sectional study (option c).
6. If a positive correlation between two sets of scores is displayed as a scatterplot, the points are clustered in a pattern that extends from the lower left to the upper right of the graph (option b).
