Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Ethnic background and whether we are part of a minority or majority culture can also help to determine personality. Among people in Canada who identified themselves as members of minority groups, those with the strongest ethnic identities were highest in self-esteem and subjective well-being.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Stressful life events, such as the death of a spouse or the loss of a job, may influence personality. Among the adults in the United States studied in their mid-40s and again 10 years later, those who experienced these stressful events as negative turning points became more neurotic over time, whereas those who saw them as an opportunity to learn became even more extraverted.
