Use the following scenario to match the focus of each theory with the corresponding theory. Each theory is only used once. 9-year-old Sydney is in 4th grade. Her mother is a space engineer, and her father stays at home to help care for her and her younger brother. Sydney helps take care of her younger brother, and she excels in math. She watches her mom perform calculations and she wants to be just like her when she gets older. Sydney is upset that she is sometimes teased at school for liking math. She feels confident in her learning abilities but less confident in her ability to make friends, especially with boys. Group of answer choices ( Psychoanalytic, Systems, Cognitive, Behavioral, Evolutionary) Focuses on how the culture and time period may influence the roles of Sydney's parents. Focuses on how taking care of a younger sibling at Sydney's age might have been adaptive for our ancestors. Focuses on how Sydney learned from watching her mother to love math. Focuses on Sydney's inner drives and motives, especially her feelings of inferiority in making friends. Focuses on how Sydney's thinking, memory, and processing speed have advanced in school, enabling her to excel in math.
