Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Asian Americans tend to view any form of mental disorder as a shameful condition that they are embarrassed to admit. As a result, they are less likely to seek treatment from a therapist or counselor for emotional problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Whatever the cause, personality test results often show differences between males and females on a number of characteristics and at every age. For example, women tend to score lower than men on tests measuring assertiveness and a study of 474 children, median age 11, reported that girls showed a higher level of depression and a greater concern with what other people thought of them than boys did.
