Answer:

Parens Patriae

Explanation:

A doctrine that grants the inherent power and authority of the state to protect persons who are legally unable to act on their own behalf.

The parens patriae doctrine has its roots in English Common Law.

In the United States, the parens patriae doctrine has had its greatest application in the treatment of children, mentally ill persons, and other individuals who are legally incompetent to manage their affairs. The state is the supreme guardian of all children within its jurisdiction, and state courts have the inherent power to intervene to protect the best interests of children whose welfare is jeopardized by controversies between parents. This inherent power is generally supplemented by legislative acts that define the scope of child protection in a state.

The state, acting as parens patriae, can make decisions regarding mental health treatment on behalf of one who is mentally incompetent to make the decision on his or her own behalf, but the extent of the state's intrusion is limited to reasonable and necessary treatment.

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is missing its options. The options for this question are:

Dual Processing,

The I-knew-it-all-along phenomenon,

Hindsight Bias, OR

Overconfidence

In psychology, the overconfidence effect refers to a bias in which a person's subjective confidence in his/her judgements or abilities is greater than how they actually are. In other words, we think our skills or talents are better than they actually are.

In this example, at the beginning of the school year, the students were asked to predict a variety of their own social behaviors and they reported being 84% assured in their self-predictions. However, their predictions were only correct 71% of the time. We can see that <u>their judgements about their social behaviors (or the confidence on them) were greater than how they actually were</u>. Therefore, this would be an example of Overconfidence.

Which piece of observation would support your explanation that the chameleon use a physical characteristic adaptation to survive

alexgriva [62]

Answer: The chameleon is able to change its color to blend with the surrounding environment.

Explanation:

The chameleon is able to utilize the camouflage adaptation to remain hidden against the predators and can also catch the prey. They are able to change their color from brown to green on grass and vice versa for tree trunk so that on blending with the color of the external environment chameleons remain undetected this is a kind of phenotypic advantage over other reptiles that help them to remain undetected by predators like birds, snakes, and others and help in their survival. This is a kind of natural selection.
