Questions: 11. According to Slavkin & Fineman, what is a "sensory reinforcement controlled" type of firesetter? 12. What significantly predicted girls’ externalizing problems? 13. Under what conditions is pathological firesetting likely to continue? 14. Why are certain components of "cognitive problem-solving" more appropriate for older children than for younger children? 15. According to Miranda, what is the logic of current prevention strategies for adolescent alcohol abuse? 16. What was found in the survey regarding fathers observing negative consequences to the use of some drugs? 17. How is the attachment process through adolescence distinguished? 18. According to Meier, how does the gender of the adolescent affect his/her attitude toward sex? 19. A further important role for parents is the establishment of appropriate demands for an increasing contribution to family and household responsibilities.  What was found that supports this statement? 20. What is the common thread among family interventions to promote adolescent health?

Answers: A.  1) provide massive amounts of public education about the negative consequences of alcohol use before the age of 21; 2) criminalize and shame any youth or adult behavior that supports alcohol use before the age of 21; 3) expect that after turning 21 young adults will be able to quickly learn to use alcohol responsibly and be problem-free because the onset of use has been postponed. B.  Azrin et al. demonstrated adolescent substance abuse was influenced by the way in which parents supported and rewarded adolescent behavior. C.  Attachment processes through adolescence are distinguished by the growth of the child towards cognitive and physical maturity and the re-negotiation of family relationships towards greater reciprocity. D.  "Sensory reinforcement controlled" describes those for whom the sensory aspects of the fire are sufficiently reinforcing for them to set fires frequently. E.  Preschoolers' cognitive processes might not be developed enough to actively conceptualize and initiate self-modeled behavior. F.  The survey data found fathers were less likely to see negative consequences in use of some drugs. Less than half of fathers report believing that if their child smokes marijuana, they will face consequences such as difficulty coping with life’s problems and getting along with family. G.  A common thread among family interventions is that of improving communication and reducing conflict. H.  Depression in the mother, along with mother "negativity" and father "negativity" and life stress I.  Several studies find that male adolescents are more likely than females to have positive reactions to having sex. While the attitude change associated with first sex may operate in either direction, it seems most likely that it will tend toward more permissive postsex attitudes, especially for males. J.  Pathological firesetting is likely to continue if the underlying motivations or reinforcers are not specifically identified and treated.
