- consensual validation: people like to find in others an agreement, or consensus, w/their own characteristics (i.e. birds of a feather stick together, not opposites attract)
- people are more likely to be attracted to those who are similar in age, race, religion, social class, personality, education, & physical attractiveness
- often relates to the self-serving bias, as it helps us to reaffirm the positive characteristics in ourselves by finding them attractive in another individual

Sociologist Dexter Dunphy described developmental changes in the structure of adolescent cliques and crowds, where in the fifth and final stage males and females paired off in more serious romantic relationships, which led to the breakdown of cliques and crowds. How does current research evidence on the developmental period of emerging adulthood support or refute this fifth stage?

Current research on emerging adulthood indicates that because one of the most important goals of this developmental time period is explorations into different friendships to assist with identity formation, Dunphy's proposition for the breakdown cliques in late adolescence is not supported; thus, membership in a variety of same-sex and mixed-sex groups is highly likely into emerging adulthood.

Current research on emerging adulthood indicates that because the median age of marriage has risen to the late 20s, the committed romantic relationships that Dunphy proposed break down cliques in late adolescence is not supported; thus, membership in a variety of same-sex and mixed-sex groups is highly likely into emerging adulthood.

Current research on emerging adulthood indicates that because one of the least important goals of this developmental time period is the establishment of committed romantic relationships, Dunphy's proposition for the breakdown of cliques in late adolescence is not supported; thus, membership in a variety of same-sex and mixed-sex groups is highly likely into emerging adulthood.

Current research on emerging adulthood indicates that because the median age of marriage has remained in the early 20s, the committed romantic relationships that Dunphy proposed break down cliques in late adolescence is supported; thus, membership in a variety of same-sex and mixed-sex groups is highly unlikely into emerging adulthood.

George is in the sixth grade and is overweight compared to the other boys in his class. One day in Physical Education class, the students were playing volleyball and George missed hitting the ball with his hands and it instead bounced off his belly. Jerry, the most popular boy in the class, made fun of George by yelling "Georgie Porgie" and all of the classmates laughed. Explain whether George experienced bullying.

Although George did experience the repetition and power imbalance components that are part of bullying, because the "Georgie Porgie" name-calling was a verbal incident, the aggression component that is also integral to defining bullying was missing; thus, George did not experience bullying.

Because George did experience the power imbalance component that is part of bullying, and because the "Georgie Porgie" name-calling caused public humiliation and thus negatively affected George's self-esteem, George experienced bullying.

Although George did experience the aggression and power imbalance components that are part of bullying, because the "Georgie Porgie" name-calling was an isolated incident, the repetition component that is also integral to defining bullying was missing; thus, George did not experience bullying.

Which of the following best summarizes research findings on the proportion of time youth in developed countries spend with friends and family during adolescence?

Findings indicate that youth spend increasingly less time with their parents and increasingly more time with their peers, especially same-sex peers, during adolescence; furthermore, about 40% of adolescents in developed countries across the world report having daily social media contact with their friends.
