sasha, a 3 - year - old girl, was having difficulty settling down at bedtime. she ran around her house, trying to make her parents catch her before getting into bed. sashas behavior awakened her baby sister, asleep in the next room. john, sashas father, felt pushed to his limit and screamed at sasha to stop and threatened her with a spanking. his loud voice made the young girl cry and run to her bed. how would you explain sashas compliance?
sasha complied because she was afraid
sasha complied because she didnt want to wake up her baby sister
sasha complied because she understood her fathers frustration
sasha complied because it was the right thing to do

Explanation:

A 3 - year - old child is likely to respond to fear - inducing stimuli. Sasha's father screaming and threatening a spanking would likely instill fear in her, leading to compliance. At this age, understanding of others' emotions like father's frustration or moral concepts of right and wrong is not fully developed, and there is no indication she was concerned about waking her baby sister out of empathy.

Answer:

Sasha complied because she was afraid
