What are some situations in which therapists might feel uncomfortable challenging family members who come from other racial or ethnic groups or whose sexual/romantic affiliation is unusual or unexpected?

 

I would appreciate if anyone could help me with the following social psychology question please.

Thomas feels comfortable relying on and being close to his immediate family members, yet he seeks extremely intimate, clingy romantic relationships. He also keeps his distance from his friends, not disclosing too much to them or counting on them. How would you analyze his differing attachment styles?

SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

Give an example of social influence from both real and imagined situations. Make a distinction between the two.

A real situation is in which someone is present

A imagined situation is a social situation

I find this question a bit difficult to understand, To sun it up, i believe someone who directly influences you (real) vs. A situation where you're influenced because you think it's expected? (imagined)

Please help me out. Thank you
