Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The many losses associated with aging (e.g., diminished strength and physical health, interpersonal losses, retirement, shrinking income) make older adults especially vulnerable to disturbances in self-concept, particularly chronic, low self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The stages in the development of the self include self-awareness (infancy), self-recognition (18 months), self-definition (3 years), and self-concept (6 to 7 years).
