Explanation / Answer

I think Cora may use Family system theory, Attachment theory, Social Construct theory and social exchange theory for her research study and data analysis.

I suggested the Family System theory developed by Murray Bowen, because individual behaviour cannot be studied in isolation. Since an individual is a part of family, an individual's behaviour can be best understood by the family system theory which assumes family as a emotional unit.

Similarly, I have chosen Attachment theory, because of the fact that the Attachment theory suggests that a strong emotional and emotional attachment to at least one of the primary caregivers (parents) is critical for personality development.
