COUC 691 QUIZ QUESTION BANK 300 MULTIPLE-
CHOICE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS AND
RATIONALES

---


SECTION 1: HISTORY AND ETIOLOGICAL MODELS OF ADDICTION
(Questions 1-50)


---


Question 1
Which of the following is NOT a psychological model of addiction etiology?
A. Psychodynamic
B. Learning theory
C. Personality theory
D. Family Disease


Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Family Disease is considered a family systems model rather than a
psychological model. The psychological models include psychodynamic, learning
theory, personality theory, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. Family Disease
falls under family systems theory, which views addiction as a systemic issue
affecting the entire family unit .

Question 2
Which etiological model explains addiction as a consequence of personal choice,
viewing individuals engaging in addictive behaviors as capable of making
alternative choices?
A. Learning theory model
B. Disease model
C. Cognitive behavioral model
D. None of the models listed


Correct Answer: D
Rationale: None of the listed models fully conceptualize addiction as purely a
matter of personal choice. The moral model traditionally holds this view, but it is
not represented in the options. The disease model views addiction as a biological
condition, learning theory focuses on environmental factors, and cognitive-
behavioral models emphasize thought patterns and reinforcement .


---


Question 3
Which U.S. Act required drugs to be classified according to their medical use,
potential for abuse, and possibility of creating dependence?
A. Anti-Drug Abuse Prevention Act

,B. Harrison Act
C. Controlled Substance Act
D. None of the Acts listed


Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Controlled Substance Act (CSA) of 1970 established the five-drug
scheduling system that classifies substances based on their accepted medical use,
abuse potential, and dependence liability. This act created the framework still
used today for regulating controlled substances in the United States .


---


Question 4
Cognitive-behavioral models suggest a variety of motivations and reinforcers for
taking drugs. One explanation suggests that people take drugs to experience
variety.
A. True
B. False


Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This is true. Cognitive-behavioral models identify multiple motivations
for drug use, including seeking variety, pleasure, relief from negative affect, social
enhancement, and performance enhancement. The variety-seeking motivation
reflects the desire for novel experiences and stimulation .


---

, Question 5
According to the syndrome model of addictions, there are multiple and interacting
antecedents of addiction organized in at least three primary areas. Which of the
following is NOT a primary area?
A. Shared neuro-biological antecedents
B. Shared psychosocial antecedents
C. Shared spiritual antecedents
D. Shared experiences and consequences


Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The syndrome model identifies three primary areas: shared
neurobiological antecedents, shared psychosocial antecedents, and shared
experiences and consequences. While spirituality may be relevant to addiction
recovery, it is not one of the three primary areas in the syndrome model's
framework .


---


Question 6
In 1926, the United States Congress passed the Purity in Food and Drug Act
designed to control addiction by requiring labels on drugs contained in products
including opium, morphine, and heroin.
A. True
B. False
