Answer to Question 1

Berk (2007, p. 404) concludes upon reviewing the relevant research for adolescent identity development, that a strong, secure ethnic identity is associated with higher self-esteem, optimism, sense of mastery over the environment, and more positive attitudes toward one's ethnicity.. She further notes that minority adolescents with strong ethnic identities cope with stress better, achieve more in school, and are better adjusted than their counterparts who have weak ethnic identities. Therefore, although maintaining a secure ethnic identity has its drawbacks in that it can emphasize differences; it also has benefits such as promoting positive well-being, adjustment, and achievement.

Answer to Question 2

Jones notes that the central challenge of bicultural adaptation is to maintain loyalty and connection to one's culture of origin, while also participating in a personally meaningful way in the broader society..

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
