FAML 400 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
Theories: |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Are |a |set |of |propositions |which |explain |a |social |phenomena
Inform |research
Examples |of |the |inductive |process |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Observations |of |3 |families |with |
troubled |teens |leads |to |empirical |generalization |about |all |families |with |teens
Research |on |a |group |of |individuals |leading |to |a |new |theory
Your |hypothesis |(eating |Twinkies |twice |a |day |will |make |people |gain |weight) |was |supported |in |
your |research |study. |Based |on |this |finding, |you |suggest |that |it's |not |just |Twinkies |that |make |
you |fat; |it's |probably |all |Hostess |snack |cakes |that |make |you |fat.
Are |hypotheses |constructed |using |inductive |or |deductive |thinking |in |the |Wallace |Wheel? |- |
CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Hypothesis |is |on |the |deductive |side |of |the |wheel
Give |an |example |of |how |theory |could |inform |research: |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Theories |are |
weeded |out |through |history. |The |good |ones |that |help |society |stay |while |the |others |are |
forgotten. |These |good |theories |are |ones |that |researches |go |back |to |when |they |have |new |
questions |or |problems |they |want |to |solve. |By |using |knowledge |(or |theories) |that |have |already |
been |established |as |a |base |will |give |researchers |a |place |to |jump |from |instead |of |starting |from |
ground |zero.
There |are |3 |major |parts |of |theories: |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Assumptions: |non-tested, |
foundations |of |a |theory |(beliefs |that |are |taken |for |granted |or |believed |to |be |true.)
, Concepts: |the |building |blocks |of |a |theory
Propositions: |how |the |concepts |of |a |theory |affect |one |another |(The |relationships |between |the
|concepts, |the |"glue" |holding |the |theory |together.)
Positivism: |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Truth |is |truth |and |will |always |be. |For |example, |someone |
may |really |dislike |gravity |and |try |to |defy |it |by |jumping |off |a |roof, |but |no |matter |how |hard |they
|try |that |truth |(gravity) |cannot |be |overcome |or |changed.
What |is |NOT |an |assumption |of |the |Family |Developmental |Theory |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
Successful |families |have |several |common |character |traits.
Assumption |of |the |Family |Developmental |Theory |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Families |undergo |
stages |of |development.
|
There |are |tasks |associated |with |different |points |along |the |family |life |cycle.
|
Families |should |be |viewed |over |time.
What |is |FALSE |statment |about |FDT? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Failure |to |successfully |accomplish
|the |tasks |at |one |stage |makes |it |unlikely |the |family |will |move |to |the |next |stage
FDT |Truths |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |theory |is |one |of |the |first |and |only |ones |that |was |
developed |specifically |out |of |an |interest |in |families |and |thus |focuses |exclusively |on |the |family.
Developmental |tasks |are |norms |arising |at |a |particular |stage |of |the |family |life |cycle
