Answer 1
The ideal answer should include:
1. Teens such as Olivia with a secure attachment have better abilities to negotiate and resolve disagreements with their friends and show higher social competence with peers and other adults.
Answer 2
The ideal answer should include:
1. A clique is a small, exclusive group of around three to ten friends and acquaintances who generally resemble one another in SES, family background, ethnicity, school achievement, and moral and social values.
2. A crowd is a larger, reputation-based group, often containing several cliques, friendship pairs, and solo individuals.
3. An example of a clique is two girls and a boy who live in the same neighborhood and often hang out together after school. An example of a crowd is a group of students who are involved in sports (the "jock" crowd).
