Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Parents who accepted their children unconditionally and displayed democratic child-rearing practices were found to have children with higher self-esteem and greater emotional security than parents who failed to accept their children and who displayed authoritarian behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Self-reports from children whose parents used conditional regard showed poor coping skills, fluctuating levels of self-esteem, low self-worth, feelings that their parents disapproved of them, and resentment toward their parents. No such negative consequences were reported by children whose parents did not use conditional regard.
