Theory, are the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and the chronosystem.

3. Identify two of the new principles of learning that were introduced during the rise of
behaviorism in the 1900s.

Solution

The development of evidence-based treatments for children, youths, and families can be traced
to the rise of behaviorism in the early 1900s. John Watson demonstrated the principles of
operant and classical conditioning with his famous Little Albert study.

Section 1.2

1. True or False: The primary reason for defining psychological disorders is to allow professionals
to efficiently use labels to describe individuals.

Solution

False: Terms used to describe psychopathology are meant to define behavior, not to be used as
labels to describe individuals.

2. Define the study of psychological disorders.

Solution

The study of psychological disorders involves attempts to describe the mental health concerns,
to understand contributing causes, and to treat or prevent them.

3. Describe the difference between multifinality and equifinality.

Developmental pathways help describe the course and nature of child development;
multifinality means that various outcomes may stem from similar beginnings, whereas
equifinality means that similar outcomes stem from different early experiences.
