which occurs during adolescence. Therefore, in young adulthood, the individual will have problems
attaining intimacy, which is the developmental task to be achieved at

A. Oral, genital, latency, anal, phallic
B. Genital, anal, phallic, oral, latency
C. Latency, phallic, oral, anal, genital
D. Oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital correct answers: d. The best way to remember freud's
psychosexual stages of development is to think about what key tasks individuals do throughout
childhood. The first thing infants do is suck (oral). Next, babies begin toilet training (anal), then
discover the difference between boys and girls (phallic). Next, children spend time growing physically
and cognitively but are latent in the psychosexual realm (not focusing on anything sexual); finally,
puberty sets in and they begin to think about sex again and are focused on their own genitals.

A. Uninvolved
B. Authoritarian
C. Authoritative
D. Permissive correct answers: b. The authoritarian parenting style uses coercive techniques and
psychological control to discipline children, whereas the authoritative parenting style emphasizes
some control but allows for some independence. The uninvolved parenting style rarely uses any
control and the parent seems to be indifferent to the child's level of independence. In the permissive
parenting style, the parents are typically overindulgent with the child. They exert very little control and
are lenient when it comes to granting independence to the child.
Harry harlow used baby monkeys and several different kinds of "surrogate mothers" to
Investigate which factors are important in early development and attachment. According to
His findings, baby monkeys:
A. Preferred a soft terrycloth "mother" to a wire-mesh "mother" that held a bottle
B. Preferred a wire-mesh "mother" that held a bottle to a soft terrycloth "mother"
C. Showed no preference
D. Preferred neither "mother" correct answers: a. In harry harlow's experiments, he found that baby
monkeys preferred physical comfort to hunger satisfaction. In other words, the baby monkeys wanted
to be close to a
Soft terrycloth "mother" rather than a wire-mesh "mother," even though the latter presented food.
Therefore, attachment involves more than hunger satisfaction. It involves having close contact with a
"loving" caregiver.
