Nickolas Church · Answer 1

The correct answer is: Holden has high effortful control.

Effortful control refers to children's ability to inhibit their most dominant emotion, and instead respond in an alternative, subdominant way. In other words, children suppress what they feel most strongly, and substitute it with another, more acceptable response. In this instance, Holden has high effortful control because he is able to curb his negative feelings and behavior when his parents forbid him from doing certain things he wants to, and is able to hold back his irritation and upset.
