EPPP EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (100% GUARANTEED PASS) When working with an Af-Am client, it is important to recog that their past exps in racist society are likely to have fostered feelings of powerlessness. Conseq, a good strategy for a therapist is to adopt a: a) non-directive, less active approach b) problem-solving, time-limited approach c) color-blind approach d) neutral, educative approach - Answer-b) problem-solving, time-limited approach ; goal-directed therapies are most effective with members of most minority groups An 11-year-old loves playing the piano and does so for at least one hour a day. His parents have begun to reward him for doing so by giving him a dollar for each 30 minutes that he practices and find that this increases the amount of time he spends playing the piano each day. Subsequently, the child's parents decide to discontinue the reward. Research by Lepper, Greene, and Nisbett (1973) suggests that, once the parents discontinue the reward, which of the following willl occur: a) the child will continue playing the piano at the increased rate b) the child will go back to playing the piano at the pre-reward rate c) the child will play the piano at a rate less than the pre-reward rate d) the child will initially play the piano at a reduced rate but will eventually go back to the pre-reward rate - Answer-c) the child will play the piano at a rate less than the pre-reward rate =overjustification hypothesis-providing an extrinsic reward will reduce intrinsic motivation A new job selection test with a validity coeff of 0.3 will most likely improve decision-making accuracy when: a) the job applicant pool is very large b) the job applicant pool is very small c) the number of successful employees hired without the new test is very large d) the number of successful employees hired without the new test is very small - Answer-a) the job applicant pool is very large -a predictor will increase decision-making accuracy when there are many applicants The correction for attenuation formula is useful for estimating a validity coeff when: a) sources of systematic error have been controlled b) sources of criterion contamination have not been adequately eliminated c) measurement error has affected the magnitude of the coefficient d) sampling error has apparently biased the magnitude of the coefficient - Answer-c) measurement error has affected the magnitude of the coefficient --The correction for attenuation formula is used to esitmate test's validity coeff when the reliability coeff for the predictor/criterion is increased to1.0 so that measurement error has been entirely removed so it is estimating the validity coeff when measure error has been eliminated
