GUARANTEED GRADE A+
You have been working with a couple to resolve their marital
conflicts. Despite months of intensive therapy, the couple has come
to the conclusion that it is in everyone's best interests to end
their marriage. The couple has a 12-year-old daughter and has asked
you to perform a custody evaluation for the divorce proceedings. You
should:
Select one:
A. perform the custody evaluation as long as you are no longer
providing therapy to the couple.
B. perform the custody evaluation only if you obtain consent from
both parents to do so.
C. perform the custody evaluation after clarifying your roles and
responsibilities with all parties.
D. not perform the custody evaluation.
d. This answer is most consistent with Paragraph II.7 of APA's
Guidelines, which states "psychologists strive to avoid conflicts of
interest and multiple relationships in conducting evaluations." It is
also consistent with the ethical requirements regarding multiple
relationships provided in Standard 3.05 of the APA's Code of Ethics
and the Values Statement of Paragraph III of the Canadian Code of
Ethics.
A series of meta-analyses by Eagly and her colleagues of research on
gender differences in leadership style (initiating structure and
consideration) found that:
Select one:
A. men and women differ significantly with regard to leadership style.
B. men and women do not differ significantly with regard to
leadership style.
C. men and women differ significantly with regard to leadership style
and women leaders are consistently evaluated less favorably than male
leaders by superiors and co-workers.
D. men and women do not differ significantly with regard to
leadership style but women leaders are consistently evaluated less
favorably than male leaders by superiors and co-workers.
B
Which of the following best describes the difference between escape
and avoidance conditioning?
,Select one:
A. Escape conditioning is the result of positive reinforcement, while
avoidance conditioning is the result of negative reinforcement.
B. Escape conditioning is the result of negative reinforcement, while
avoidance conditioning is the result of negative punishment.
C. Escape and avoidance conditioning are both the result of negative
reinforcement, but only escape conditioning combines negative
reinforcement with classical conditioning.
D. Escape and avoidance conditioning are both the result of negative
reinforcement, but only avoidance conditioning combines negative
reinforcement with classical conditioning.
D. Escape and avoidance conditioning both result in an increase in
behavior because performance of the behavior results in the removal
or termination of a stimulus (negative reinforcer). The difference
between the two procedures is that avoidance conditioning involves
presentation of a cue (positive discriminative stimulus) that signals
that a negative reinforcer is about to be applied so that the
organism can perform the target behavior prior to delivery of the
negative reinforcer and, therefore, avoid exposure to it. The
connection between the cue and negative reinforcer is the result of
classical conditioning.
According to Dawis and Lofquist's (1984) Theory of Work Adjustment,
job tenure is related to an employee's:
Select one:
A. satisfaction and satisfactoriness.
B. motivation and ability.
C. organizational commitment.
D. career concept.
The Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA) is a person-environment fit
theory of career development that focuses on the correspondence
between an employee and his/her job and work environment. One of the
primary assumptions of TWA is that a person is best suited for jobs
that have demands and provide rewards that correspond to that
individual's characteristics.
A. In the context of the TWA, satisfaction refers to the employee's
satisfaction with the job, which is determined by the degree to which
the rewards provided by the job satisfy the employee's needs; while
satisfactoriness refers to the job's "satisfaction" with the employee
- i.e., the degree to which the employee's skills meet the skill
requirements of the job and, as a result, the degree to which the
employee adequately performs the job. According to the TWA,
satisfaction and satisfactoriness are determinants of an employee's
tenure.
, In his well-known 1973 study, Rosenhan had several "pseudopatients"
admit themselves to psychiatric hospitals with complaints of auditory
hallucinations. Which of the following is most useful for explaining
the results of Rosenhan's study?
Select one:
A. central tendency error
B. Hawthorne effect
C. contrast effect
D. halo effect
D. The halo effect is a rater bias that occurs when a rater's ratings
of an individual on one or several dimensions are affected by his/her
rating on another dimension. The halo effect does explain the
response of mental health professionals in this study; i.e., the
mental health professionals continued to "rate" pseudopatients on the
basis of their first ratings (diagnosis), regardless of the patients'
subsequent behaviors.
From the perspective of Tuckman and Jensen's (1977) model of group
formation, an emphasis on socializing and developing close
relationships is characteristic of the __________ stage.
Select one:
A. norming
B. forming
C. performing
D. storming
Tuckman and Jensen (1977) distinguished between five stages of group
development -- forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.
a. The norming stage is characterized by worker agreement, congruence,
and participation in social activities. It can become a "period of
play" as the task becomes temporarily abandoned by workers.
According to Helms (1990), the ability of Whites to develop a healthy
racial identity is most closely related to:
Select one:
A. identification with a particular White culture (e.g., Irish,
Swedish, French).
B. stage of ego-identity development.
C. level of self-monitoring.
D. the extent of racism in the society.
D. J. Helms's model reflects her belief that "the development of
white identity in the United States is closely intertwined with the
development and progress of racism in this country"
Although stuttering in children is often difficult to treat, there is
some evidence that ____________ is the most effective approach.
Select one:
A. stress inoculation
