Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Some research has suggested that this population may adapt more successfully to old age as a result of successful coping over a lifetime with discrimination and prejudice. While the remaining options are positive factors, they do not have the same degree on influence on the development of coping skills that the correct option has.

Bereaved males may be more socially and emotionally vulnerable. Widowers adapt more slowly than widows to the loss of a spouse and often remarry quickly. The remaining options reflect re-actions that are typically seen in both grieving men and women.
