Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: A major controversy erupted in the late 1990s when it was suggested that parental behaviors have no long-term effects on their child's personality outside the home. According to this idea, peers influence a child's personality much more than do parents. Children adopt the behaviors, attitudes, values, and characteristics of their classmates and friends in an effort to win their acceptance and approval.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: A unique real-world laboratory in which to explore the issue of surrogate caregivers is the collective child-care arrangement in kibbutzim (communal settlements) in Israel. In that situation, mothers attend to their infants' needs only for the first few months of life. Then the primary responsibility for child care is assigned to professional caregivers. Children typically spend more time with these surrogate mothers and fathers than they do with their parents.
