| | | | | | | | | | | |
participation in a research study. | | | |

| | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-B. Participants should ordinarily be debriefed as soon as | | | | | | | | |
possible but, in some cases, debriefing may not be necessary.
| | | | | | | | |
Debriefing is addressed in Standard 8.08 of the APA Ethics Code and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Standards II.47 and III.25 of the Canadian Code of Ethics. Standard
| | | | | | | | | | |
8.08(a) requires psychologists to promptly debrief research participants
| | | | | | |
"about the nature, results, and conclusions of the research." However,
| | | | | | | | | | |
Standard 8.08(b) states that "if scientific or humane values justify
| | | | | | | | | |
delaying or withholding this information, psychologists take reasonable
| | | | | | | |
measures to reduce the risk of harm."
| | | | | |
,You have been hired by a company to determine whether current
| | | | | | | | | | |
employees should be considered for promotions. The human resources
| | | | | | | | |
director says, to cut down on costs, he wants you to base your decisions
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
primarily on the results of tests that were administered to the
| | | | | | | | | | |
employees when they applied for their original jobs with the company.
| | | | | | | | | | |
When you look at the employees' files, you realize that most of the test
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
results are outdated. As an ethical psychologist, you will:
| | | | | | | |
A. comply with the director's request but describe the possible
| | | | | | | | | |
limitations of your conclusions in your evaluation reports.
| | | | | | |
B. tell the director you cannot base your recommendations solely on the
| | | | | | | | | | |
outdated test results.
| | |
C. ignore the outdated test results and base your conclusions only on
| | | | | | | | | | | |
results you believe are still valid.
| | | | |
D. explain to the director why you cannot comply with this request and
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
recommend an alternative procedure for evaluating the employ -

CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-D. explain to the director why you cannot
| | | | | | | | |
comply with this request and recommend an alternative procedure for
| | | | | | | | | |
evaluating the employees. | |
This is the best answer of those given because using outdated test
| | | | | | | | | | | |
results would not be in the best interests of the employees and would
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
violate ethical guidelines regarding test use. For example, Standard 9.08
| | | | | | | | | |
of the Ethics Code prohibits psychologists from basing their assessment
| | | | | | | | | |
decisions on outdated test data, and Standards II.13 of the Canadian
| | | | | | | | | | |
,Code of Ethics requires psychologists to use appropriate assessment
| | | | | | | | |
methods.
The 22-year-old biological son of taller-than-average parents is shorter
| | | | | | | | |
than average. Which of the following helps explain the son's height?
| | | | | | | | | |
A. genotype
|
B. phenotype
|
C. gene expression
| |
D. canalization - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-B. phenotype
| | | | |
A phenotype is a characteristic that's directly observable and is the
| | | | | | | | | | |
result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
| | | | | | | | |
Consequently, a person whose genotype (genetic inheritance) is | | | | | | | |
consistent with above-average height may be shorter than average due
| | | | | | | | | |
to malnutrition during childhood or other environmental factor(s).
| | | | | | |
Members of quality circles (QCs): | | | |
A. use statistical analysis, project management, and problem-solving
| | | | | | | |
methods to reduce the defect rate of products.
| | | | | | |
B. provide management with recommendations for resolving the work-
| | | | | | | |
related problems they've identified.
| | |
C. have total control over their own work, including task assignments
| | | | | | | | | | |
and methods, work schedules, employee selection and training, and
| | | | | | | | |
performance appraisal. |
, D. identify the unique and best aspects of the organization and generate
| | | | | | | | | | |
ideas about how to build on them. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-B. provide
| | | | | | | | | | | |
management with recommendations for resolving the work-related
| | | | | | |
problems they've identified.| |
Quality circles are small groups of employees who volunteer to meet
| | | | | | | | | | |
regularly to identify problems and methods for resolving them. The
| | | | | | | | | |
employees then provide management with recommendations for
| | | | | | |
alleviating the identified problems.
| | |
The course of ____________ varies and may involve an acute onset of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
symptoms or a stepwise or progressive decline in functioning with
| | | | | | | | | |
fluctuations in symptoms or plateaus of varying length.
| | | | | | |
A. vascular neurocognitive disorder
| | |
B. alcohol-induced neurocognitive disorder
| | |
C. neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer's disease
| | | | | |
D. neurocognitive disorder due to Parkinson's disease - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-A. vascular neurocognitive disorder | | |
The course of vascular neurocognitive disorder depends on the nature
| | | | | | | | | |
and severity of the cerebrovascular disease, the areas of the brain that
| | | | | | | | | | | |
are affected, and other factors, and it may involve an acute onset of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
symptoms or a stepwise or fluctuating decline in functioning.
