FAML 400 EXAM 1/45 AccurateQuestions and Answers
Theories: - -Are a set of propositions which explain a social phenomena
Inform research
-Examples of the inductive process - -Observations of 3 families with
troubled teens leads to empirical generalization about all families with teens
Research on a group of individuals leading to a new theory
Your hypothesis (eating Twinkies twice a day will make people gain weight)
was supported in your research study. Based on this finding, you suggest
that it's not just Twinkies that make you fat; it's probably all Hostess snack
cakes that make you fat.
-Are hypotheses constructed using inductive or deductive thinking in the
Wallace Wheel? - -Hypothesis is on the deductive side of the wheel
-Give an example of how theory could inform research: - -Theories are
weeded out through history. The good ones that help society stay while the
others are forgotten. These good theories are ones that researches go back
to when they have new questions or problems they want to solve. By using
knowledge (or theories) that have already been established as a base will
give researchers a place to jump from instead of starting from ground zero.
-There are 3 major parts of theories: - -Assumptions: non-tested,
foundations of a theory (beliefs that are taken for granted or believed to be
true.)
Concepts: the building blocks of a theory
Propositions: how the concepts of a theory affect one another (The
relationships between the concepts, the "glue" holding the theory together.)
-Positivism: - -Truth is truth and will always be. For example, someone may
really dislike gravity and try to defy it by jumping off a roof, but no matter
how hard they try that truth (gravity) cannot be overcome or changed.
-What is NOT an assumption of the Family Developmental Theory - -
Successful families have several common character traits.
, -Assumption of the Family Developmental Theory - -Families undergo
stages of development.
There are tasks associated with different points along the family life cycle.
Families should be viewed over time.
-What is FALSE statment about FDT? - -Failure to successfully accomplish
the tasks at one stage makes it unlikely the family will move to the next
stage
-FDT Truths - -The theory is one of the first and only ones that was
developed specifically out of an interest in families and thus focuses
exclusively on the family.
Developmental tasks are norms arising at a particular stage of the family life
cycle
Not all families follow the cycle from beginning to end.
-Family Development assumptions focus on: - -what motivates individuals
agreement and shared meaning among family members
the systematic and patterned changes experienced by families
-Timing is an important concept in FDT. Which is NOT one of the types of
time referred to in the book? - -Establishment Contextual time
-What types of time are mentioned with FDT? - -Ontogenetic time,
Generational time, Historical time
-According to family development theory, the most important factor to
consider is: - -The stage of the family life course
-The family process dimension of "time" is critical to understanding and
explaining family change. Time is best measured in family development
theory as: - -life events time (stages depend on your current life events)
-A basic assumption of exchange theory is the individuals are rational. This
means that: - -If several individuals find themselves in the same situation
with the same exact information, and they find the same things rewarding,
they will all likely act in the same way
