You are the social worker for Joe’s family and are tasked with completing an assessment on the family.

How might these cognitive factors influence family dynamics?

Response Guidelines
Respond to a fellow learner who either identified a cognitive factor that you missed, or whose answers to either of the other two questions differed from your own.
In the first case, discuss your response: Is that cognitive factor actually at play? If so, why do you think you missed it? If not, support your explanation with examples from the text or the movie itself.
In the second case, discuss the differences: What might be influencing the difference in perception? Support your answer as above.
