Which of the following scenarios would support the argument that inherited traits are as important as parenting style in determining how a child turns out? Carly’s parents have always been affectionate with her and have given her a lot of autonomy. Carly sometimes skips school. Her response is that the class is dumb and she has better things to do with her time.

Rob’s father died when he was small. His mother is often depressed and shows little affection. She does not set a lot of rules. Rob has been making his own meals for years. He decides when to do his homework. Rob gets mostly As and is a peer mentor.

Anita’s mother sets tight rules and punishes Anita when she does not follow them. Anita seldom breaks rules. She is meek and well behaved.

Tim’s parents have a lot of rules but are willing to talk things out. For example, they said that he had to have a B average to play sports. They then realized that some subjects were hard for him and decided that his privileges would be based on his effort; not his grades. Tim is respectful and hardworking and has never been in serious trouble.

Tim
Carly
Rob
Anita

i just took the assignment and it said Rob was the answer

Explanation:

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
