What extent do think parents and peers influence children

Reference no: EM133385196

Questions:

1. To what extent do you think parents and peers influence children's development? Think of examples of influences that your parents might have had on you, and also influences that might have come from your peers (Read this article on Judith Rich Harris and peer vs. parental influence).

2. Between and within species reproductive strategies can be explained by the extent to which an individual is maximizing current or future fitness (the C-F continuum). How does this relate to research and theory of sexual reproduction explained in chapter 3 such as the red queen hypothesis?

1. Mark Flinn has predicted that there will quite often be conflict between a woman who is still fertile and her teenage daughter. Based on the material in this chapter can you think of other reasons for conflict between offspring and parents during this time in life?

2. Under the 'Cinderella effect' it was suggested that the greater likelihood of maltreatment of non-genetic offspring may be a remnant of the male primate adaptive strategy of killing the offspring of other males in order to increase the possibility of fertilising a female (see box 7.4). How might we gather evidence to support or refute this proposal? Can you think of any problems with this proposal?
