Answer to Question 1

The textbook identifies five different types of children: Popular (liked by many classmates), rejected (disliked by many classmates), controversial (both liked and disliked by classmates), average (liked and disliked by some classmates, but without the intensity of popular, rejected, or controversial children), and neglected (ignored by classmates) children.
Popular children like to be skilled academically and socially, and are typically either good students who are cooperative or are physically or relationally aggressive.
Rejected children typically hostile, socially unskilled, and lack emotional regulation. May also be shy, withdrawn, timid, and lonely.

Answer to Question 2

Many adolescents will either adopt the expectations others have for their careers or
perhaps choose a career based upon their early work experiences. Others may have or
come to realize very specific career paths based upon their personalities and life
circumstances. A majority of adolescents work outside the home. Although there are
advantages to working (e.g., increased sense of responsibility, discipline), working also
has some detrimental effects. Those adolescents working more than 11 hours per week
report having lower grades, lower self-esteem, and more delinquent behavior. In
addition, working just 11 hours per week is associated with increased alcohol and drug
use.
