Answer to Question 1

A
Altruism occurs when not only recipients benefit from assistance, but the individual who is giving assistance also benefits through improvement in his own self-esteem. Feedback refers to receipt of information about how one is perceived by others. Expressiveness is a group change mechanism in which group members share positive and negative emotions, and communion occurs in a group when members feel a sense of belonging.

Answer to Question 2

A
These are characteristics of conduct disorders. Adjustment disorders are characterized by a psychological response from an identifiable stressor or group of stressors that causes significant emotional or behavioral symptoms that do not meet criteria for more specific disorders; impulse-control disorders are characterized by a failure to resist impulses or temptations that are harmful to the person or to others; and oppositional defiant disorder refers to a pattern of negative, aggressive behaviors that is seen most commonly in children who focus on authority figures.
