Jane is just learning to ride a tricycle. While riding on the sidewalk the surface changes from smooth concrete to bumpy brick. Jane is unsure if she should continue and looks at her mother who is smiling and urging her forward. This is an example of:

a. encouragement
b. scaffolding
c. social referencing
d. theory of mind

The answer is c. social referencing.

Explanation:

Social referencing is a learning method, especially common for children, in which a person looks for social cues, such as signs of affection, to confirm or encourage their behaviours.

Social referencing is an important mechanism for infants to understand the world, as they see adults as teachers. In this matter, parents are the most prominent reference.

this is a pretty broad question and can be a pretty lengthy answer. since 1900, women have gained a lot more rights and have become active in the workforce. with women being in the workforce, men play a larger role in family life. many family tasks are shared between men and women, whereas, women used to be the sole family caretakers.

that should get you started at least.
