Question

a. A movement to a more personal school structure
b. Increased parental monitoring
c. The top-dog phenomenon
d. Decreased interaction with peers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is c. The top-dog phenomenon.

Explanation:

This situation occurs when a person is taken from the "highest position" (last grade in high school) to the lowest one in a different environment (first year in college).

Research has found that this phenomenon is likely to produce stress, anxiety, feeligs of inferiority and even a decrease in academic performance. However, they are soon normalised by adaptation.
