Chapter 1: The Sociological Perspective
In this revision of the test bank, I have updated all of the questions to reflect changes in
Sociology, Nineteenth Edition. The questions are tagged to indicate one of four levels of learning
that move from lower-level to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The four levels:
Recollection: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material
Understanding: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas
Application: a question applying sociological knowledge to some new situation
Analysis: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their interrelationship
The 195 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 questions span a broader
range of skills (most are “Recollection” questions and the remainder are divided among the three
higher levels). Short-answer questions are spread across the highest three levels of reasoning.
Finally, essay questions are the most demanding because they require analysis and other higher
levels of cognitive reasoning.
