Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Scientists have studied children who have overcome adversity to understand resiliency and the factors connected to the ability to thrive even in adverse life conditions. These protective factors include some innate characteristics, such as solid intelligence, as well as acquired features, such as self-regulatory abilities, self-esteem, and strong parental monitoring (Buckner et al., 2003; Self-Brown et al., 2006).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The microsystem represents the family environment, including such factors as family dynamics, parenting style, and socioeconomic status. Families should foster a protective atmosphere that serves as the first center of learning for infants and toddlers to build secure attachments that stay with them for the rest of their lives. Conversely, being raised in a low-income family with scant social support actually can become a risk factor because of time constraints that may prevent close supervision of children.
