Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
A theory is a set of concepts, definitions, relationships, and assumptions that project a systematic view of phenomena.
Mental formulations of objects or events are called concepts.
Aspects of reality that can be consciously sensed are called phenomena.
Statements that describe concepts or connect concepts are called assumptions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 4
People who live in poverty are more likely to live in hazardous environments, work at high-risk jobs, eat less nutritious diets, abuse substances, and have multiple stressors in their life. When re-searchers compared the life expectancies of European Americans and African-Americans, the causes of the differences were related to low socioeconomic status rather than ethnicity (Decker and others, 2006; Hwang, 2000). Predisposition to chronic disease in part is genetic in nature and research has confirmed no such link between poverty and chronic disease. Decision-making abil-ity is not the only factor affecting decision making. Poverty negatively affects the individual's ability to access recourses and adds stressors such as finding shelter that can alter the deci-sion-making process.
