Answer to Problem 1MM

Correct answer: As adults, adopted children tend to resemble their biological parents is not evidence that supports the view that human is strongly motivated by a need to belong. Hence the correct answer is option c.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

The adopted children often lack a sense of belonging for their biological parents. They more closely resemble their biological parents as they tend to acclimatize with the parents who raised them. Therefore, the given statement cannot be an evidence to support the view that humans are strongly motivated by a need to belong.

Option c. is given as “As adults, adopted children tend to resemble their biological parents” is an incorrect evidence to support the view that humans are strongly motivated by a need to belong, the correct answer is option c.

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as, “Students who rated themselves as “very happy” also tended to have satisfying close relationships”. 

Studies showed that university students identified themselves as very happy not based on money but based on their “rich and satisfying close relationships”. Therefore, the statement is an evidence to support the view that humans are strongly motivated by a need to belong.

Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as, “Social exclusion-such as exile or solitary confinement-is considered as severe form of punishment”. Social exclusion makes the person withdrawn, such as children in foster homes and immigrants. They do not have any sense of belonging and feel lonely and depressed. Therefore, the statement is an evidence to support the view that humans are strongly motivated by a need to belong. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as, “Children who are extremely neglected become withdrawn, frightened, and speechless”. Children in foster homes do not have any sense of belonging. They do not have any sense of belonging and are speechless and also frightened. Therefore, the statement is an evidence to support the view that humans are strongly motivated by a need to belong. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence the options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion
Human beings always have the constant urge to have a sense of belonging and form community.
