Differences between boys and girls are generally subtle, first
appear at puberty, and exert minimal influence on adult roles

life and form the basis for adult roles within a culture.

The family is the primary health care provider for infants,
children, and adolescents.

Illness
Health belief systems

11
Question #2

Question #3

All family members of a cultural group follow the culture of
the larger group.
Example: All Chinese North American children show respect
for authority, have polite social behavior, and a moderate-to-
soft voice.
16
False
Rationale: Each family modifies the culture of the larger group
in ways that are uniquely its own.
Individual differences, changing norms over time, the degree of
acculturation, the length of time the family has lived in a
country, and other factors account for variations from the
stereotype.
