Question 1

Although an individual child does not interact directly with the __________, the child's development is directly affected because this system includes structures and units such as the workplace, social services, and health services that have an effect on the child's well-being.
A) mesosystem
B) exosystem
C) macrosystem
D) chronosystem

Accepted Answer

The exosystem refers to the broader social systems that do not directly involve the child but still impact their development, such as a parent's workplace or community services.

Question 2

Which of the following came out of a view that the most commonly used theoretical approaches and resulting health promotion interventions address only pieces of the puzzle?
A) The CDC/WHO Model
B) Flay's Theory of Triadic Influence
C) The Integrated Behavior Model
D) The Adolescent Well-Being Framework

Accepted Answer

Flay's Theory of Triadic Influence was developed to address the limitations of existing theoretical approaches by integrating multiple levels of influence on behavior, thus providing a more comprehensive framework for understanding and promoting health behaviors.

Question 3

Which of the following is a great example of how the Theory of Planned Behavior can evolve to better fit the circumstances in which behavior occurs?
A) The CDC/WHO Model
B) Flay's Theory of Triadic Influence
C) The Integrated Behavior Model
D) The Adolescent Well-Being Framework

Accepted Answer

The Integrated Behavior Model is an evolution of the Theory of Planned Behavior, incorporating additional factors like knowledge and skills, environmental constraints, and habit, to better fit the circumstances in which behavior occurs.

Question 4

Which of the following is intended to guide prevention efforts so that they build strengths to offset risk factors at various levels?
A) The CDC/WHO Model
B) Flay's Theory of Triadic Influence
C) The Integrated Behavior Model
D) The Adolescent Well-Being Framework

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is intended to...

Question 5

A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention effort to review the research and input from experts resulted in another multilevel model to organize the relationship between which type of factors and youth violence?
A) Distal factors
B) Proximal factors
C) Microeconomic factors
D) Macroeconomic factors

Accepted Answer

The answer of A recent Centers for Disease Control and...

Question 6

Which organization developed an Adolescent Well-Being Framework to identify factors to consider in order to monitor adolescent progress from a positive perspective, without focusing solely on negative outcomes?
A) UNICEF
B) National Institutes of Health
C) World Health Organization
D) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Accepted Answer

UNICEF developed the Adolescent Well-Being Framework.

Question 7

The chronosystem is really just the factor of time added to the other system levels-the multiple systems, operating over time.

Accepted Answer

The chronosystem, as defined by Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, refers to the dimension of time as it relates to an individual's environments, encompassing changes and transitions over the lifespan.

Question 8

Streams and substreams of influence flow from the most distant causes to causes closest to the behavior of concern in a cascade of multiple interacting influences.

Accepted Answer

This statement describes the concept of cascading influences, where distant causes indirectly affect behavior through a series of intermediate factors, creating a complex network of interactions.

Question 9

With reference to applying the Theory of Triadic Influence and trying to identify the role of factors at different levels, the general idea is the distal/ultimate causes predict most behavior and proximal causes explain it.

Accepted Answer

The Theory of Triadic Influence suggests that proximal causes predict behavior more directly, while distal/ultimate causes have an indirect influence through their impact on proximal causes.

Question 10

Although the Integrated Behavior Model now includes multiple categories of factors, some of which are external to an individual, it is still considered an individual model.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Although the Integrated Behavior Model now includes...
