VerifiedAnswers will vary but should include the following: Researchers now suggest that bullying-prevention programs in schools must not merely involve teachers and principals but also enlist popular students as allies. One recent study of 56 New Jersey middle schools found that when the most influential students-known as "social referents" or "social influencers"-played a leadership role in anti-bullying campaigns, more students in the school reported anti-bullying attitudes, levels of bullying dropped, and more students did things to raise awareness of bullying, like purchasing yellow bracelets to publicly display their opposition to cruel behavior in their schools (Paluck, Shepherd, and Aronow, 2016).

(88) VerifiedAnswers will vary but should include the following: In one experiment, five young mothers were observed interacting with a six-month-old called Beth. They smiled at her often and offered her dolls to play with. She was seen as "sweet" and as having a "soft cry." The reaction of a second group of mothers to a child the same age, named Adam, was noticeably different. They offered him a train or other "male" toys to play with. Beth and Adam were actually the same child, dressed in different clothes (Will, Self, and Datan, 1976). One classic study found that parents have different expectations for their sons and daughters as early as one day after they are born, where infant girls are described as "soft" and "pretty" and boys as "energetic" and "strong" (Rubin, Provenzano, and Luria, 1974). As children become toddlers, parents (especially fathers) engage in more rough-and-tumble play with boys and hold more give-and-take conversations with girls (Lytton and Romney, 1991).
What is self-identity, and how has it changed historically? Your answer should be two paragraphs in length.
(76) VerifiedAnswers will vary but should include the following: Self-identity refers to the process of self-development through which we formulate a unique sense of ourselves and our relationship to the world. Though the cultural and social environment is a factor in shaping self-identity, individual agency and choice are key.
Tracing the changes in self-identity from traditional to modern societies, we can see a shift away from the fixed, inherited factors that previously guided identity formation. People's identities are now more multifaceted and less stable. The social world confronts us with a dizzying array of choices but provides little guidance about which selections to make. Through our capacity as self-conscious, self-aware human beings, we constantly create and re-create our identities.
