Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Young adults are able to use formal operations, characterized by the ability to think abstractly.
Rationale 2: Postformal thought, sometimes called the problem-finding stage, is characterized by creative thought, realistic thinking, problem forming, and problem solving. Postformal thinkers are able to comprehend and balance arguments created by both logic and emotion.
Rationale 3: Young adults enter the postconventional level of Kohlberg's moral theory.
Rationale 4: This would not be considered a spiritual dilemma, so Fowler's theory would not be utilized.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: These young adults, known as Boomerang Kids, have moved back into their parents' homes after an initial period of independent living. A factor that has contributed to this trend is maladaptive behavior.
