Answer:

<u>Option-(C): </u>Are socially constructed.

Explanation:

<u>Comparative analysis of the Tisi and the abkhasians:</u>

Inside any culture or region, people have different have different perceptions regarding the age or the different phases of life. As many believe that age is just a number, while other have set some limitations for retirement from a certain field or any activity. While after our analyses we reached to the conclusion that age is just one of the social norm, that is constructed inside every culture having different features or characteristics. As some will treat as just a number, while other will think of phase when the human body gets much weaker as time passes on.

A psychologist conducted a study at her home during an annual activity of children wearing masks and going door-to-door receivin

klasskru [66]

Graph is attached.

Answer:

a) The number of children who took extra candy can be said to be the operational definition of the dependent variable here.

(The dependent variable is defined as the variable that is tested by the experimenter. The outcome of dependent variable depends on the independent variable).

b) The psychologist hypotheses are :

H1 : The children would take more candy when they were alone.

H2: The children would take more candy when they were masked.

The data does not in anyway support the hypothesis 1 of the psychologist because from the graph the percentage of children who took candy when alone was low.

The data fully supports the hypothesis 2. From the graph we could denote the percentage of children who colected additional candy when masked was higher.

c) The findings cannot be generalized to all children because only children from the psychologist's neighborhood was used in the experiment.

d) This study is not a naturalistic behaviour because the psychologist is manipulating a variable. Therefore we cannot call this study a naturalistic behaviour.

e) Modeling: Here the children's behaviour may be influenced because they may try to imitate what other children did. A child may take additional candy because another chid took additional candy.

Deindividuation: In this case, the children may feel a loss of identity or anonymous because they are in group. They may take extra candy because they feel anonymous.

From the graph, we could see the percentage of children in group who took extra candy was higher than the percentage of chidren alone who took extra candy.

Lawrence Kohlberg’s preconventional stage: A child's behaviour may be influenced by his self interest to gain reward. This may make the child not collect extra candy.

This Lawrence Kohlberg’s preconventional stage may also influence the behaviour of the children as the children may also be afraid of punishment, which may result in them not collecting extra candy

E. Describe the significance of a growth pole in an urban or

Basile [38]

Answer:

- A growth pole is a concentrated area of a technologically advanced industry. This type of area is significant because it is likely to attract job seekers, thereby stimulating the housing market and overall economic activity at a regional scale.

- A growth pole is significant to an urban economy as it will attract supporting businesses such as retail establishments, restaurants, and other service industries to the city or urban area on a local scale.

- production at individual factories is specialized to meet consumer tastes and demands or are set up for flexibility to meet rapid changes in consumer tastes and demands.

- manufacturing is characterized by just-in-time delivery of supplies so that a factory does not need to retain a large inventory of parts, requiring less space and labor.

- companies disintegrate vertically and/or a factory may rely on subcontractors or spinoff companies for some of production such as parts or aftermarket parts.

- workers may be trained for specialization and/or flexibility to operate different machinery or produce different types of products

- emphasis on product quality and/or manufacturing process quality may transform operations at factories.

G. Least-cost theory is better suited to explaining site locations for manufacturing companies than for service-industry corporations. According to the least-cost theory, industrial locations should be selected based upon the availability of natural resources (for example, a steel factory would be located near high-loss raw materials like coal or water).

Service-based industries do not require access to natural resources. Instead, a multinational corporation in the service industry is likely to locate its headquarters based on one or more of the following:

- Availability of communications networks

- Availability of a highly educated workforce

- Availability of investment capital or tax incentives

- Locational factors such as proximity to technology growth poles (universities, military bases, aerospace facilities)

- Locations of competitors or clients

- Locations of a cultural or artistic center

- Lifestyle factors such as recreational opportunities, food, restaurants, and/or entertainment

- Proximity to airports
