Question

When she was a child, Anna's home was wrecked by a tornado and her neighbor was killed. More than 30 years later, she is still terrified of storms. This is an example of how a ________ event can influence a person's development. Group of answer choices - nonnormative life - normative age-graded - normative generational - normative history-graded

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "A": Non-normative life.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-normative life events are unexpected, unpredictable life episodes such as natural disasters, loss of a relative or war. These events could be negative -like the ones mentioned before- or can be positive in other cases like winning the lottery, for instance.

In the example, there are three negative non-normative life events: the tornado, Anna's house being wrecked by the tornado and, his neighbor's decease as a result of the tornado.
