Question

Recall on our discussion of evolutionary approaches to understanding sex differences. From an evolutionary perspective, which of the following would be MOST likely to produce sex differences? Select one: о a. A problem affecting reproductive success that is faced primarily by women (but not men) in modern times, but which neither men nor women faced in ancestral times. ob. A problem affecting reproductive success that was faced by both men and women in ancestral times, but which neither men nor women face in modern times. o C. A problem affecting reproductive success that is faced by both men and women in modern times, but which neither men nor women faced in ancestral times. o d. A problem affecting reproductive success that was faced by women (but not men) in ancestral times, regardless of whether women still face it in modern times. Suppose that you are studying a culture in which children are exclusively cared for by their biological parents, and alloparenting is nonexistent. Based on our discussion of cultural differences in the prevalence of attachment styles, which of the following would you be MOST likely to observe? Select one: o a. More infants are securely attached in this culture than in the United States. O b. Fewer infants are securely attached in this culture than in the United States. O c. More infants are securely attached in this culture than among the Efe people. d. All of the above are equally likely to be true.

Answer 1

1. c. A problem affecting reproductive success that is faced by both men and women .....

Explanation: It appears that in the evolutionary theory there is the discussion of the change of the genetic system and it causes significant differences in both men and women. It is true that in the ancient time both men and women had better reproductive ability. In the modern time there is less.

2. a. More infants are securely attached in this culture than in the United States.

Explanation: When a child is cared by the biological parents then the attachment is no doub t good and secured. In the United States it appears that most of the parents are busy in their work. They do not have much time and therefore the attachment is not so good and secure. There children are cared by the caregivers.
