Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The preadolescent age category experiences stress related to self-esteem issues, changing family structure due to divorce or death of a parent, or hospitalization. Adolescent stressors include identity issues with peer groups and separation from parents. Elementary school age stressors include friends, family, and school relations. Adult stressors centralize around life events.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Maturational factors and sociocultural factors can affect people differently depending on their life experiences. An older individual would have more life experiences to draw from and to analyze on why he was successful, whereas a younger individual would have fewer life experiences based on chronological age to analyze for patterns of previous success. Nothing in the scenario implies that either man is in restorative care, has strong financial resources, or is immature or intelligent.
