Question 2

Correct Answer:

Verified

Characteristics of formal operational thought:
Focuses not on specific contents but on relationships governing contents
Involves coordinating multiple relationships
Can be difficult even for adults (easier to deal with concrete features)
The processes involved in identity achievement can illustrate the use of formal operational thinking.For example,in making a decision about a career path,an individual must think about his own skills,experiences,and interests.These contents must be weighed in light of opportunities,economic resources,concerns for those who depend on him now,and how to deal with their expectations.He needs to coordinate these relationships with his own future goals regarding marriage and family,lifestyle,and level of commitment to other priorities.In other words,he is coordinating many abstract relationships as he navigates a career pathway.
