Before their spring vacation, Jennifer takes her college-age daughter Cleo shopping at a new, hip boutique downtown. Cleo holds up a short skirt and colorful top and says, "Mom, you'd look great in this!" Jennifer laughs and says, "Oh no! I couldn't be seen wearing anything from this store. But it would be cute on you!"Which of the following is the cause of Jennifer's response to the outfit?a. perceived ageb. biological agec. sociocultural aged. chronological age

sociocultural age

Explanation:

the sociocultural age of Jennifer here is not her biological age but her age as defined by her sociocultural environment. The sociocultural environment consists of all sociocultural factors in the form of cultures and societal norms that influence behaviour, thought patterns and attitudes of individuals in the larger society. For example, Jennifer might be able to fit into a mini skirt perfectly but can't be seen on mini skirt because her sociocultural environment does not accept it for a mother her age
