Test Bank by Raymond E. Fancher, Alexandra Rutherford, Katherine Harper York University & Jacy
L. Young University of Surrey
The questions included in this test bank were written to sample the contents of the textbook both
fairly and comprehensively. They vary considerably both in difficulty and content, with some
questions relating primarily to historical fact and others to substantive issues and concepts from
modern psychology. Every effort has been made to avoid ambiguous, trivial, or trick questions—but
it is generally a good idea to make sure that examination instructions ask for “the best answer” rather
than “the correct answer” to each item.
