Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Difficulties in relating to peers are highly significant and may underlie antisocial behavior. Witnessing an argument is unlikely to be traumatic. Modest consequences for behavior and brief separations from parents are not likely to affect such behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Ontogenic factors are biologic and neurodevelopmental factors within the person that increase his or her potential for violence. Ontogenic factors indicate a view of development as an ongoing interaction between a person's emerging capabilities and the environmental response.
