Low-frustration tolerance is a concept developed by psychologist Albert Ellis who
is famous for developing Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Frustration
occurs when a person has a goal that is being blocked or when there is a barrier
that a person cannot overcome or when there is a gap between what you desire
and what you actually get. Frustration is a common human trait. Low-frustration
tolerance is the inability to emotionally accept the delay or blockage to getting
what an individual wants. Low frustration tolerance is also the act of seeking
immediate gratification or pleasure or the attempt to avoid something painful at
the cost of long-term stress. Procrastination is a form of low frustration tolerance.
It is putting off or avoiding the necessary when it is in one's best interest to face it.
When people make statements like, "It's hard....I can't do it.....I can' take this,"
they are believing that the thing or event is difficult to tolerate and therefore
must be intolerable.
,. Harlow is to _________ as Lorenz is to ________________. a. temperament;
attachment b. attachment; temperament c. bonding; attachment d. attachment;
bonding correct answer D
Harry Harlow worked with rhesus monkeys and focused his research on
attachment studies. Harry removed infant monkeys from their mothers and
placed them on either a cloth mother or wire mother substitute. He found that
the infant monkeys stayed close to the cloth monkey for perceived comfort over
the wire mother, which provided nourishment. His work was influenced by the
earlier work of Konrad Lorenz, who studied imprinting in birds and found that
birds will bond with the first moving thing they see upon birth.

group, where the client is safe from real world responses, the client can try out
the behavior and then take it with him to the outside world.

A ______ test is always ________ and ________ a test's length increases
reliability.
a. Valid, reliable, increasing b. Valid, reliable, decreasing c. Reliable, valid,
increasing d. Reliable, valid, decreasing correct answer A
A valid test is always reliable. A valid test is one that measures what it claims to
be measuring. A reliable test produces consistent results over time. A test can be
reliable and measure something consistently but might not be valid if it measures
something other than what it claims to measure. Increasing a test's length
increases its reliability. Conversely, if you shorten a test, you reduce its reliability.

interpretations, recommendations and a summary.
A client, who has recently sought out therapy for marital stress due to his wife
finding out that he had been having an extramarital affair, enters the office with
his wife. He had not told you previously that he would include her in sessions. He
asks to have her join the session. She starts the session by asking you what your
client has told you about him still seeing the other woman. Which of the following
accurately states the ethical guide in this matter?
a. Answer her that he said he had not been seeing her for some time, because
this is true. The client just gave you permission to answer, and it will help them
continue to heal. b. Refuse to answer the question and ask the clients' wife to
leave. c. Answer the question only after checking with your client whether he
would like you to answer. He had been telling you he hadn't been seeing her. d.
Refuse to answer the question, explain why, and process trust issue correct
answer D
Answers a and c are incorrect, as there is a strong possibility that the client feels
pressured by his wife's presence and is not offering true informed consent for you
to divulge such details. In the future, it is unlikely that the client would feel
comfortable being honest with you should he have feelings or continued
interaction with this other woman, given he believes that at any point you might
tell his wife if she shows up for another session. Answer b is too abrupt and could
undermine the therapeutic relationship and avert issues that need addressed.
