PSYC- 2314 EXAM 3 || with Error-free Solutions.
Ethnic identity correct answers a person's identification with a racial or ethnic group, it depends
on context, it is multifaceted
Vocational identity correct answers Establishing a vocational identity is considered part of
growing up., not only by developmental psychologists influenced by Erikson but also by
emerging adults themselves- many of whom go to college to prepare for a good job . Emerging
adulthood is a "critical stage for the acquisition of resources" - including the education, skills,
and experience needed for lifelong family and career success.
Intimacy vs. Isolation correct answers The sixth of Erikson's eight stages of development. Adults
seeks with whom to share their lives in an enduring and self-sacrificing commitment. Without
such commitment, they risk profound aloneness and isolation.
Friendship correct answers Friends are another source that is important lifelong perhaps
particularly so in emerging adulthood. Friends strengthen our emotional and physical health.
They probably expand our thinking as well win self- expansion, the idea that other people
enlarge our understanding as we absorb their experiences and ideas.
Gender and friendships correct answers Men tend to share activities and interests, and they talk
about external matters- sports, work, politics, cars. They are less likely to tell other men of their
failures, emotional problems, and relationship dilemmas; if they do they expect practical advice,
not sympathy.
Women's friendships are typically more intimate and emotional. They expect to share secrets
with their friends and engage in self-disclosing talk, including difficulties with their health,
romances, sex life, and relatives. Women reveal their weaknesses and problems and expect an
attentive and sympathetic ear, a shoulder to cry on.
Physical tough shows sex differences as well. Men are less likely to touch each other except in
aggressive activities, such as competitive activities or military combat. The butt slapping or body
slamming immediately after a sports victory, or the sobbing in a buddy's arms in the aftermath of
a battlefield loss, are like less likely in everyday life.
Many women routinely hug friends in greeting or farewell; men might fist bump or hand slap.
Male-Female Friendships correct answers -have become much less of a taboo as they are no
longer as rare as they once were.
-These friendships are usually not preludes to romance, although sometimes romance does occur.
-are less common for people at the extremes of gender identity (very feminine girl or
supermasculine boy).
-Problems may arise if outsiders assume that every one of these relationship is sexual. For this
reason, when heterosexual couples are romantically committed to each other, they tend to have
fewer cross-sex friendships to avoid partner jealousy
Romantic Partners correct answers All close relationships have much in common- not only in
psychic needs they satisfy but also in the behaviors they require. Each ongoing relationship
demands some personal sacrifice, including vulnerability that brings deeper self-understanding
, and shatters the isolation of too much self-protection. The form that this seeking takes is in some
aspects universal and in other aspects very much influenced by culture.
The dimensions of love correct answers Passion- is the evident in falling in love, an intense
physical, cognitive, and emotional onslaught characterized by excitement, ecstasy, and euphoria.
The entire body and mind, hormones and neurons, are activated; the person is obsessed.
Passionate love is difficult to measure
Intimacy- is knowing someone well, sharing secrets as well as sex. This aspect of a romance is
reciprocal, with each partner gradually revealing more of himself or herself as well as accepting
more of the other's revelations. The moonstruck joy of passionate love can become bittersweet as
intimacy and commitment increase.
Commitment- takes time and effort, at least for those who follow the current western pattern of
love and marriage. It grows through decisions to be together, mutual caregiving, shared
possessions, and forgiveness. Social forces strengthen or undermine commitment; that's why in-
laws are often the topic of jokes or arguments and why a spouse might be unhappy with their
mate's close friends.
Commitment is also affected by the culture. In fact, when cultures endorse arranged marriages,
commitment occurs early on before passion or intimacy.
Hookup correct answers A sexual encounter between two people who are not in a romantic
relationship. Neither intimacy nor commitment is expected.
How has social networking changed the process of mate selection? correct answers Sites often
indicate whether an individual is , or is not, in a committed relationship. There are sites for
people seeking someone of particular ethnicity, political values, gender identity, sexual
preferences, religious beliefs- all very useful if a young person has definite preferences.
Choice overload correct answers Having so many possibilities that a thoughtful choice becomes
difficult. This is particularly apparent when social networking and other technology make many
potential romantic partners available.
Cohabitation correct answers an arrangement in which a couple live together in a committed
romantic relationship but are not formally married
What makes relationships succeed? correct answers As already stated, friendships and romances
have much in common. they satisfy the need for intimacy. Friends and mates are selected in
similar ways, with mutual commitments gradually increasing until someone becomes a lifelong
best friend or a chosen partner. Best friends sometimes part, and long-term marriages may end in
divorce.
Homogamy correct answers Defined by developmentalists as marriage between individuals who
tend to be similar with respect to such variables as attitudes, interests, goals, socioeconomic
status, religion, ethnic background, and local origin.
