Jorge V.
1. The insecure-ambivalent attachment between the caretaker and the infant is characterized by the child wanting the caretaker nearby, yet at the same time resisting them. It relates to the development of a fragile trust in the developing infant and is characterized by the child showing strong protest behavior and negative emotions around separations. All of the above are correct. 2. When examining attachment styles in adolescence or adulthood, we are essentially assessing a person's self-esteem, sense of trust in others, and ability to develop mutually supportive bonds. All of the above are correct. 3. With respect to having similar basic (primary) emotions, men are more prone towards having vulnerable feelings like sadness. Women are more prone towards showing anger towards others. Men are more prone towards showing anger towards themselves. Men and women are similar in their experience of emotions, yet differ in the way they are expressed. 4. The child who shows signs of a difficult temperament has a tendency to display strong emotions, become overly stimulated, and inconsistently express their needs. All of the above are correct. 5. An infant between 8 to 12 months of age showing mild separation anxiety suggests the child developed a strong bond and healthy dependency with the caretaker. The child's needs have been met with too much inconsistency. 6. Which statement is most accurate? Measures of analytic abilities are not influenced by practicing academic tasks or past educational experiences. Heritability estimates of intelligence apply to specific individuals, not to large groups. Intellectual potential is influenced by many genes that interact with the environment. Intellectual potential is not strictly influenced by environmental factors.
