Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: In a national longitudinal survey of children ages 3 to 12, no significant problems with behavior or self-esteem were found when the mothers had jobs outside the home. The researcher concluded that care-giving by someone other than the child's mother had no negative impact on the variables studied.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: A study of more than 20,000 families in a variety of countries from Australia to Japan to the United States found that genetic factors accounted for as much as 40 percent of parental behavior. It also found that some parental behavior is influenced by how their child behaves. That finding leads to the notion that parents can both influence and reflect the behavior of their children.
