a. individualistic
b. cooperative/competitive
c. cooperative/collectivistic
d. competitive/individualistic

i think it is B im i on the right track..

I disagree. I don't see anything competitive in this child's behavior.

oh no what do u think

book.. cooperative includes altruism(a preference for helping and protecting other) competitive includes preferences for superiority (obtaining more than other)and rivaly individualistic is a preference for obtaining gains and avoiding losses for oneself

Do you understand the other choices?

im trying

it doesnt say anything about collectivistic

http://www.answers.com/topic/collectivism

Collectivistic is just the adjective form of collectivism.

What do you think the difference is between these two?
b. cooperative/competitive
c. cooperative/collectivistic

after i looked a what u sent me i think it is C but this book don't have that listed has a social orientation

it has them 3 listed and that is it i was not sure what collectivistice was

i hope im right
