Document Summary
3450 cumulative final exam questions (remaining cumulative questions from before midterm two as posted by prof) Chapter 12 os: discuss the function of dating in terms of the two stage-salient tasks of adolescence. 1: establish relational foundations needed for successful long-term romantic relationship. Dating = normative, adolescence (30%) - late adolescence (70%) There was a story here about how a girl thought all of her friends were having sex when in reality, very few were, the false consensus effect explains it just like that. She overestimated that people were hooking up, and in reality they were not, False-consensus effect: cognitive bias whereby a person overestimates how much other people agree with him/her. Tend to overestimate frequency of peer"s hookups: evolutionary psychology. Discuss what is meant by sexual selection & strategies, sos, & partner preferences as these are related to strategies/ sos. [i am looking for a general take-home summary point; 3 marks: hookup doesn"t always mean vaginal sex.
