Kay and April are breaking up after 15 years together, two houses, and two children. They have fought so long and so hard that they can no longer trust one another and have very biased views of the other's behavior.
 
  Based on what you learned in this chapter, what would you suggest that they do?
  a. Continue talking with one another until they sort things out.
  b. Find a neutral negotiator who can help solve the dispute.
  c. Sit in two different rooms and only communicate via written messages.
  d. Get their children to make the decisions.

Question 2

There is a new student on campus who doesn't know anyone yet. Why would you expect this student to join groups on campus (these could be groups of friends, clubs, or teams)?
 
  Also, what kinds of students would you expect in the composition of the groups this new student would join?

Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The new student would join groups in order to fulfill his or her need to belong, the fundamental need to maintain stable relationships with others. The student may also join groups that are related to a part of his or her identity. For instance, if the student is a musician, he or she may seek to join a band. If the student enjoys soccer, he or she may join a soccer team, or find friends to play soccer with. The students in the groups the new student would join would be homogeneous. This is because of the social norms that groups expect their members to follow.
