Answer to Question 1

Describe the three stages in building a strong blended family. 3 points; 1 for each stage correctly described:
- Stage 1: Recovery from loss, dealing with entering a new relationship; acknowledging feelings and allowing mourning; talking about jealousy and guilt
- Stage 2: Planning for the new living situation; talking about fears and concerns; building emotional security; giving up the idea that things will be the same
- Stage 3: Formation of the new family system; restructuring roles of nurturing and discipline; defining relationships with biological and stepparents; continuing to address feelings of abandonment, jealousy, and anger

Answer to Question 2

Give two reasons why it is important to be aware of the power of group influence. 1 point for any of the following:
- Everyone is susceptible; we need to be constantly aware of the attempt by others to manipulate us; the more we know, the more we are able to judge when it might be happening to us
- Groups can influence our behavior for better or worse; we need to be aware of possible group pressure so that we can take control of our own life
- This information will help me to stand up to social pressures, reduce discrimination, prejudice, and stereotyping, and contribute to more prosocial behavior
