In 2014, 8-year-old Tyler Doohan managed to rescue six people - including two younger children - from a burning mobile home in upstate New York but died when
he returned to rescue his disabled grandfather and couldn't move him. A few years later, in 2022, 39-year-old Thomas Hawk of Morgan County, Ga., died trying to
save his 8-year-old son from a tragic house fire that destroyed the family's home. Both of these acts are acts of selfless heroism, but by comparing the two, we can
illustrate what important principle in developmental psychology?
A. That sometimes multple underlying processes support development in succession
B. The two acts are dissimilar because we can assume that that young Tylers act was more influenced more by genes and the father's, Thomas Hawk, by
experience.
C. It is the intersection of age and typicality that helps make some things seem more exceptional. Many people regard the fathers' act is tragic but not
exceptional, but find Tyler's act exceptional because of his young age.
D. The two acts illustrate that there is almost always a normal distribution of individual differences in traits like altruism
