Question

Jordan's parents are both college-educated professionals who make a comfortable living and have a sizeable net worth. Jerome was raised by his mom who dropped out of high school and has worked in various low-wage jobs in the restaurant industry. As they approach high-school graduation, Jordan is trying to decide which admission offer she should accept from several elite universities, whereas Jerome is worried that he won't even graduate because of low grades in several of his classes.

This illustrates _________.

Answer 1

It illustrates parent-child mirroring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jordan's parents are college educated professionals who make a comfortable living with a sizeable income. Their daughter Jordan is already looking at admission choices from elite universities to go to immediately after college. This shows that she is trying to mirror her career and life choices based on her parents success. It indicates parent-child mirroring.

Jerome was raised by his mum who did not complete high school and works several low pay jobs. Now, Jerome is not thinking beyond high school as he is worried he might not graduate because of his bad grades. His mother's inability to complete high school is having an effect on him because he is scared he will turn out to be like his mum. This is also parent-child mirroring.
