You presented this story to your class: "There was a man who was a heavy drinker, especially at parties. His wife had warned him that if he came home drunk one more time, she would leave him and take the children
Sometime later he went to an office party and came home drunk. What would she do?"
How would you expect an emerging adult to answer the question?
a. "She is probably so angry that she will call the cops and make her husband move out of the house so she can stay with the kids."
b. "She said she would leave, so she will probably take the kids and move in with her sister the next day."
c. "She married him, which means she loves him, so she'll probably forgive him and not move out.
d. "Well, she said she would leave him, but it would probably be really difficult to move that quickly with young kids, so she might try marital counseling."
