Question

multiple choice question
normative history - graded influences are

○ common to members of a particular generation.

○ unusual occurrences that happen to individual people.

○ events that typically occur at the same age for most people.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definition of normative history - graded influences. Normative history - graded influences are experiences that are common to people of a particular generation because they live through the same historical time period (e.g., a war, a major technological revolution that affects an entire generation).

• The option "unusual occurrences that happen to individual people" describes non - normative life events (unique to individuals), not normative history - graded influences.
• The option "events that typically occur at the same age for most people" describes normative age - graded influences (like starting school, getting married at typical ages), not history - graded.
• The option "common to members of a particular generation" matches the definition of normative history - graded influences as they are shared by a generation due to historical context.

Answer:

A. common to members of a particular generation.
