One of your friends is the parent of a 15-year-old adolescent girl. Based on developmental research, what suggestions would you give your friend for effectively dealing with conflict?
What will be an ideal response?
Parents should be reassured that parent-adolescent conflict is quite normal. Students should advise their friend to exhibit an authoritative parenting style in which parents set limits but are warm, involved, and supportive. Also, parents should exhibit psychological autonomy granting in which adolescents are encouraged to develop their own individual opinions and beliefs. These styles of parenting are associated with positive social, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes as well as positive identity development.

Yes, because this finding can be used to guide experiments that manipulate this area of the brain in humans and examine the effect on orientation. C. No, because these correlational findings were observed in a sample of men with AIDS and this region of the brain is not visible in men without AIDS. D. No, because it would be unethical to conduct an experimental study where that brain region is manipulated to examine the effect on orientation.
