Chapter 1: Sociology: Perspective, Theory, and Method
In this revision of the test bank, I have updated all of the questions to reflect changes in
Society: The Basics, Sixteenth Edition and increased the number of questions by 50
percent so that this test bank covers all the new material that has been added and
better meets your needs. The questions are tagged according to four levels of learning
that move from lower-level to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The four levels:
SC
Recollection: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material
O
Understanding: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas
R
Application: a question applying sociological knowledge to some new situation

Analysis: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their
interrelationship
The 279 questions in this chapter’s test bank are divided into four types. True/False
questions are the least demanding. As the table below shows, two-thirds of these are
“Recollection” questions, and all of them fall within the lowest three levels of cognitive
reasoning (“Recollection,” “Understanding,” and “Application”). Multiple-choice
SC
questions span a broader range of skills (almost half are “Recollection” questions and
the remainder are divided among the three higher levels). Short-answer questions
also span a broad range of skills (from “Understanding” to “Analysis”). Finally, essay
questions are the most demanding because they require analysis and other higher
levels of cognitive reasoning.
