Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Cultural and societal attitudes and values influence body image. Culture and society dictate the accepted norms of body image and influence one's attitudes. Peer pressure and role modeling are influenced by the perceived social preference. Normal physical developmental changes resulting from puberty do not typically result in super thin body types.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Identity involves the internal sense of individuality, wholeness, and consistency of a person over time and in different situations. Identity implies being distinct and separate from others. Being oneself or living an authentic life is the basis of true identity. Knowing what makes oneself happy is a sign of identify. While looking for the perfect job infers some self-awareness, it is as of yet unfulfilled. Identifying so closely with one's child is not an indicator of a healthy sense of identity nor is simply stating one's name.
