age graded
Solution
The answer is the fourth one (D): age graded.
Explanation for each option:
History graded: These influences are related to historical events or experiences that affect a large number of people within a society at a particular time, such as wars or economic depressions. This does not fit the description of influences that are similar for individuals in a particular age group regardless of location.
Biological: While biological influences can affect individuals similarly, they are not necessarily tied to a specific age group. Biological influences can vary widely depending on genetics and other factors.
Environmental: Environmental influences are those that come from the surrounding environment, such as cultural or social factors. These can vary significantly depending on where individuals are raised, so they do not fit the description of being similar for a particular age group regardless of location.
Age graded: These influences are those that are common to individuals of a particular age group, regardless of where they are raised. Examples include starting school, puberty, or retirement. These are experiences that are typically shared by individuals of the same age group, making this the correct answer.
In summary, age-graded influences are those that are similar for individuals in a particular age group, regardless of their upbringing or location.
