chronosystem.

rise of behaviorism in the 1900s.
Solution
The development of evidence-based treatments for children, youths, and families can be

The study of psychological disorders involves attempts to describe the mental health
concerns, to understand contributing causes, and to treat or prevent them.
3. Describe the difference between multifinality and equifinality.

Developmental pathways help describe the course and nature of child development;
multifinality means that various outcomes may stem from similar beginnings, whereas
equifinality means that similar outcomes stem from different early experiences.
Section 1.3

substance use challenges, and mental illness, and negatively impact individuals in areas
such as education, job opportunities, and earning potential.
CHAPTER 2
Section 2.1
1. Identify at least three systems that impact child development, according to the
ecological perspective.
Solution
Within the ecological perspective (bronfenbrenner, 1979), child development is
impacted by multiple systems, such as home, neighborhood, and school. Biological
