supports or refutes the hypothesis.
True - T/F The SES of a college graduate student completing an internship is
higher than that of a high-school dropout working in a fast-food restaurant, even if
their annual income is the same.
False - T/F According to Social Learning theory, individuals model any behavior
they see repeatedly.
False - T/F If we were to find a correlation between level of education and verbal
skills, we can then conclude that more education causes increased verbal skills.

human development has a code of _______, a set of moral principles.
D. report the results - The final step in the scientific method is to:
C. social class - Socioeconomic status (SES) refers to an individual's:
, A. culture - The values, assumptions, customs, clothing, technologies and are that
a group of people have developed over the years as a design for living are referred
to as their:
D. ability of human traits to be molded during development - The notion of plasticity
refers to the:
A. potential conflicts - According to Freud each stage of development involves:
True - T/F A research question becomes a hypothesis when it is stated as a
prediction or idea that can be tested.
False - A theory contains information that has been proven to be true by extensive
research.
A. development of thought processes and their effect on behavior, attitudes and
beliefs. - Cognitive theories emphasize the:
D. determine a cause-and-effect relationship - Experiments allow researchers to:
True - T/F Race involves, in addition to outward appearance, shared attributes of
heritage, national origin and culture.
False - T/F The main advantage of observation is that the scientist can make
determinations about cause and effect.
Genetics, what we gain from our parents at the time of conception - When we say
"nature" in psychology, what do we mean?
All environment: social, physical, etc. - When we say "nurture" in psychology, what
do we mean?
C. empirical - Psychology is based on systematic observation rather than pure
reasoning or common sense. We can say, therefore, that psychology is:
True - T/F Our cultural heritage has a pervasive impact on our thoughts, feelings
and behavior.
B. independent, dependent - If we view an experiment as an attempt to establish a
cause-effect relationship, the _______ variable would be the cause and the _______
variable would be the effect.
Naturalistic observation
Child development
Scientific method - Please tell me 1 thing (besides survival of the fittest and natural
selection) we learned from Charles Darwin.
False - T/F Generally it is a good idea to study in as many different locations as
possible, rather than always studying in the same location.
, A. hypothesis - A specific and testable prediction is:
A. exists when two events are regularly associated with each other. - A correlation
_______
B. naturalistic observation - A psychologist monitors a group of nursery school
children during the school day, recording each instance of helping behavior as it
occurs, without any intervention. The psychologist is using:
D. every individual and every trait within each individual, can be altered at any point
in the lifespan. - Professor Jorgenson believes development is plastic. By this she
means that:
B. the same group of people, at different ages, on a test of memory. - An example
of longitudinal research would be when an investigator compares the performance
of:

behavior.

reproductive cells.

teratogen is:
True - T/F Environment affects every human characteristic.
False - T/F In the past decade, scientists have successfully cloned human infants.
True - T/F X-linked diseases are more common for females than males, because
females have two X-chromosomes.
False - T/F A teratogen is a substance or disease that, when present, always
results in a birth defect.
