Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: A 12-year study of children in Finland found that when mothers had hostile attitudes toward child rearing (attitudes measured when their children were 3 and 6 years old), their children were highly likely to have hostile attitudes by the time they became 15. Thus, hostile mothers were found to rear children who also became hostile.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: A review of research on the relationship between early childhood experiences and adult psychopathology showed consistently that the childhoods of depressed and anxious adults were related to inadequate parenting. The parents were found to be more rejecting and abusive, and less caring and affectionate, than parents of less troubled adults.
