(1) In questioning Arnett's (2000) conception of an additional developmental stage across the lifespan, his critics in one of our required readings also pose this point regarding some of the assumptions this scholar makes: a. If there is a prolonged or delayed course in reaching adulthood, is it always marked as being positive, as Arnett (2000) appears to be suggesting with his focus on the role of exploration and choices marking this period? b. In the case of unwanted or earlier pregnancies, isn't it possible that adulthood could be accelerated for some young girls? c. Overall, it seems that emerging adulthood reflects idleness or privilege for those who stay in this "in-between" stage for longer. d. In the case of drug or alcohol use, isn't it possible that adulthood will remain delayed forever?

For purposes of a given study, researchers measure how physically attractive a person is by how symmetrical the features of their face are, and by asking 35 people in a focus group to rate their photos on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the most attractive).

Freud sees incest as a high probability, given the emergence of sexuality and libido at the start of the psychosexual stages of development d. All of the above

(1) What is one of the flaws of traditional twin studies in regards to how concordance rates are interpreted by researchers? a.

She realized that male attachment figures were vitally important in the children's lives, and was attempting to offer such figures in the absence of their actual fathers, most of whom were serving overseas c. Having regular male employees in the institution insulated them from harassment and allowed them to continue their work with minimal government-intervention or bureaucratic hurdles d.
