An elderly widow is angry with her children for telling her she should not live alone in her home anymore, because she fell recently. she blames the fall on inadequate lighting and claims that if her children did some house repairs, she could stay in her house. this woman's inability to deal with her changed circumstances reflects her difficulty in which of the following processes
a. accommodationb. assimilationc. achieving intimacy with herselfd. making a successful status passage into older adulthood

a. accommodation

Explanation:

The concept of accommodation in psychology indicates the mechanism of inner change of the subject. He perceives life in society through his knowledge framework. Since these structures are not inherent in being, but constituted in their coexistence with the environment, the development of cognition is equivalent to the production of structures. The widow exposed in the question shows difficulty in expressing the concept of accommodation and realizing that she needs a change inside, so that she understands that she can no longer live alone.

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
