Question

Andrew recently started hanging out with a group of peers who are all motivated to do well in school and are involved in academic extracurricular activities, such as the debate team and the science fair. Andrew's gravitation to this group of peers is known as:

A. selection.
B. peer pressure.
C. facilitation.
D. deviancy training.

Answer 1

A. selection

Step-by-step explanation:

Selection is a process whereby an individual in a society become associated with a group of individuals or people based on a preference or attribute they consider pleasant in them or they share the same attributes, and as such, interact with such group of individuals. This interaction often yields some degree of cooperation or helpfulness.

According to the information given about Andrew in the question, we can infer that Andrew's gravitation to this group of peers is known as selection.

Answer 2

A. Selective.

Step-by-step explanation:

This could be looked at in the sense of a little disorder from little Andrew, though the act is selective, it could also come up as mutuism. Some adults with selective mutism are fully capable of speech and understanding language but are physically unable to speak in certain situations, though speech is expected of them.

The behaviour may be perceived as shyness or rudeness by others. A child with selective mutism may be completely silent at school for years but speak quite freely or even excessively at home. There is a hierarchical variation among people with this disorder: some people participate fully in activities and appear social but do not speak, others will speak only to peers but not to adults, others will speak to adults when asked questions requiring short answers but never to peers, and still others speak to no one and participate in few, if any, activities presented to them.
