Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Parental behaviors can determine, or undermine, specific aspects of personality, such as self-efficacy, locus of control, learned helplessness or optimism, and subjective well-being. There is a great deal of evidence showing that children of parents who are described as authoritative (that is, warm but firm in their child-rearing practices) are more competent and mature than children of parents described as permissive, harsh, or indifferent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Rogers spoke of the parents' responsibility for supplying unconditional positive regard to their children. Although Freud was the first theorist to emphasize parental influences on the formation of personality, virtually every theorist thereafter has echoed his views to some degree.
