168. Describe how the four levels of Marcia’s identity status could be exemplified by Hawkeye, who wants to be a doctor.
ANSWER: In the state of diffusion, the individual is overwhelmed by the task of achieving an identity
and does little to accomplish the task, In the state of diffusion, Hawkeye wants to be a doctor
because he heard that they make a lot of money but he does not know how one gets to be a
doctor and would rather spend his free time playing video games. In the state of foreclosure,
the individual has a status determined by adults rather than by personal exploration. In the
state of foreclosure, Hawkeye’s parents have told him for years that he should be a doctor
and join his father’s medical practice. He plans to study premed in college, but has never
given the matter much thought. In the state of moratorium, the individual is examining
different alternatives but has yet to find one that is satisfactory. In the state of moratorium,
Hawkeye enjoys his Biology class and thinks it would be fun to be a doctor. However, he
also really enjoys his English class and thinks that it would also be fun to become a novelist.
In the state of achievement, the individual has explored alternatives and has deliberately
chosen a specific identity. In the state of achievement, Hawkeye has spent the past month
interning at his father’s medical practice and has decided that being a doctor is definitely the
career path for him.

169. Describe the primary issues of adolescence according to Erikson. Be sure to comment on issues like adolescent
egocentrism, the imaginary audience, personal fables, and an illusion of vulnerability.
ANSWER: Erikson believed that adolescents face a crisis between identity and role confusion. This crisis
involves balancing the desire to try out many possible selves and the need to select a single
self. Adolescents experiment with different selves to learn more about possible identities.
During the search for identity, adolescents reveal a number of characteristic ways of thinking.
Adolescent egocentrism is a self-absorption with their own feelings and experiences.
Imaginary audience is the belief that they are being watched constantly by their peers.
Personal fables are the tendency to believe that their experiences and feelings are unique and
that no one has ever felt or thought as they do. An illusion of invulnerability is they believe
that misfortune happens only to others. As adolescents progress toward achieving an identity,
adolescent egocentrism, imaginary audiences, personal fables, and the illusion of
invulnerability become less common.

170. How do the phases of achieving ethnic identity compare to the phases of career development as described by Super?
ANSWER: Both the phases of achieving ethnic identity and the phases of career development are
progressive in that individuals pass through each phase before moving on to the next phase.
The first phase of both processes is the beginning phase or the starting point for the
individual to move through the other phases. In the first phase of achieving ethnic identity,
individuals have not examined their ethnic roots. For individuals in this phase, ethnic identity
is not yet an important personal issue. Similarly, individuals in Super’s initial phase of career
development have not yet begun their exploration of potential career prospects. In this phase
called crystallization, adolescents use their emerging identity as a source of ideas about
careers. In the second phase of ethnic identity, individuals begin to explore the personal
impact of their ethnic heritage. In the second phase of career development a similar
exploration takes place. During specification, adolescents further limit their career
possibilities by learning more about specific lines of work and starting to obtain the training
required for a specific job. In the third phase of ethnic identity, individuals achieve a distinct
ethnic self-concept. In the third phase of career development called implementation,
adolescents enter the workforce and learn first-hand about jobs. The third phase of each
process reflects the culmination of the efforts that were achieved in the previous two phases.

face a hard road. First, discuss reasons for the high rate of teen pregnancy in the U.S. Second, describe characteristics of
effective teen pregnancy prevention programs.
ANSWER: Teen pregnancy is common because sexually active teens do not use birth control
consistently or correctly. Many adolescents believe that they are invulnerable and that only
others become pregnant. For some adolescent girls, becoming pregnant is appealing. The best
way to reduce teen pregnancy is with comprehensive sex education programs. These
programs teach the biological aspects of sex and emphasize responsible sexual behavior or
abstinence from premarital sex. They also discuss the pressures to become involved sexually
and ways to respond to this pressure.

173. Pick a career that you are considering for yourself. Which three of Holland’s personality types do you think would be
most satisfied in that career? Explain.
ANSWER: I am considering a career as a psychologist. A social personality type would be the most
satisfied in this career because those individuals are skilled verbally and interpersonally.
They enjoy solving problems using these skills. An enterprising personality type would also
be satisfied in this career because they enjoy using their verbal skills in positions of
leadership. Psychologists often find themselves in positions of leadership. An investigative
personality type would also be satisfied in this career because they enjoy thinking about
abstract relations. Some aspects of being a psychologist are similar to being a scientist who
has to use abstract relations to solve problems.

174. Describe three major reasons why an adolescent should not work long hours while in school. Why do so many
adolescents work in spite of these consequences?
ANSWER: Adolescents who work long hours while in school do worse in school, are more likely to have
behavioral problems, and learn how to spend rather than manage money. Adolescents work
in spite of these consequences because part-time employment can be a good experience,
depending on the circumstances. When adolescents have jobs that allow them to use their
skills and acquire new ones, self-esteem is enhanced and they learn from their work
experience. Teens also benefit from work experiences that complement classroom
experiences.

175. Describe factors that increase the risk of teenagers drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Then discuss methods of
reducing these behaviors.
ANSWER: Parents and peers are influential in determining whether youth drink alcohol or smoke
cigarettes. When drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes is important in their parents’ lives,
teens are more likely to engage in these behaviors. Teens are less likely to drink alcohol or
smoke cigarettes when their parents are involved in their lives and practice authoritative
parenting. Teens are also more likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes when peers do. In
order to reduce teen drinking and cigarette smoking, interventions need to focus on teaching
effective coping skills and interactive school-based programs. In addition, effective programs
that discourage adolescents from smoking have the following features: (1) Schools have no-
smoking policies for all students, staff, and school visitors. (2) The program provides
information about short- and long-term health and social consequences of smoking and
provides students with effective ways to respond to peer pressure to smoke. (3) The program
goes beyond the school to involve parents and communities.

176. Describe the role of biological factors and attributions in adolescent depression.
ANSWER: Biological factors such as heredity and neurotransmitters play a role in adolescent depression.
Heredity puts some adolescents at greater risk for depression. Some adolescents may feel
depressed because lower levels of neurotransmitters make it difficult for them to experience
happiness and joy. Attributions such as temperament and belief systems also play a role in
adolescent depression. Children who are less able to regulate their emotions become
adolescents who are prone to depression. Depression prone adolescents are more likely to see
themselves in a negative light and blame themselves for failure.

177. A friend says, “I am scared. My little boy is about to enter the teen years, and I have heard that this is a time of great
storm and stress, when he will reject everything about me.” Provide advice to your friend by describing the reality of this
time of child-parent interactions.
ANSWER: The notion of “storm and stress” is a myth. Research shows that adolescents generally enjoy
happy and satisfying relationships with their parents. Most teens love their parents and feel
loved by them. And they embrace many of their parents’ values and look to them for advice.
In addition, most teens have relatively high levels of self-esteem across a variety of domains.
