About This Quiz

Child psychology is an intriguing topic because it gives us several insights into the human brain. First of all, it allows us to see what the average child thinks about and where their priorities lie, among other such emotions. The second part, however, is that analyzing a child’s psychology lets us see how our brains develop as we grow older and go through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood. What do you know about child psychology?

    Why do psychologists study animals in order to gain insight to human development?

    • It is possible to control the animal's enviromment to isolate a variable for study.

    • Animals are less expensive to work with.

    • Animals have simpler behaviour that is easier to model.

    Correct Answer
    A. It is possible to control the animal's enviromment to isolate a variable for study.
    Explanation
    Psychologists study animals in order to gain insight into human development because it is possible to control the animal's environment to isolate a variable for study. By manipulating the animal's surroundings, psychologists can observe the effects of specific factors on behavior or development, which can then be applied to humans. This control allows for more precise experimentation and understanding of cause-and-effect relationships.

    Schaffer and Callender demonstrated that infants did not protest at being separated from their mothers until approximately what age?

    • 3 months

    • 5 months

    • 7 months

    Correct Answer
    A. 7 months
    Explanation
    Schaffer and Callender's research findings suggest that infants do not show signs of protest when separated from their mothers until around 7 months of age. This implies that infants may not yet have developed a strong attachment or separation anxiety before this age. The study highlights the developmental timeline of infants' emotional responses and their ability to cope with separation from their primary caregivers.

    The infant will begin to behave differently with the mother, forming a closer attachment from the second or third month.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    From the second or third month, infants start to exhibit different behavior towards their mothers, indicating the formation of a closer attachment. This suggests that the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following are attachment behaviours? (Select 3)

    • Following

    • Eating

    • Crying

    • Clinging

    • Talking

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Following
    A. Crying
    A. Clinging
    Explanation
    Attachment behaviors are actions that individuals engage in to seek proximity and maintain contact with their primary caregiver. These behaviors are typically observed in infants and young children. "Following" is an attachment behavior as it involves the child following their caregiver to maintain proximity. "Crying" is also an attachment behavior as it serves as a way for the child to communicate distress and seek comfort from their caregiver. "Clinging" is another attachment behavior where the child physically clings to their caregiver as a way to feel secure and maintain closeness.

    • People are quick to anger because of the language barrier.

    • They're expensive to conduct.

    • Different cultures are too dissimilar to achieve meaningful results.

    • It is difficult to ensure that the same variable is being studied in each of the cultures.

    • People's prejudice interferes with the studies.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. They're expensive to conduct.
    A. It is difficult to ensure that the same variable is being studied in each of the cultures.
    Explanation
    Cross-cultural studies can be expensive to conduct because they often require researchers to travel to multiple locations and hire translators or cultural experts. Additionally, it is difficult to ensure that the same variable is being studied in each culture due to differences in language, cultural norms, and social contexts. This can lead to challenges in comparing and analyzing the data collected.
