Ans: Stigma refers to the negative attitudes that may cause people to avoid those with psychological disorders. One example of this stigma is the belief that people with psychological disorders are violent; in fact, only a small percentage of mentally ill persons are ever involved with gun violence. Fear of stigma and possible embarrassment lead to low numbers of mentally ill people seeking treatment. It is estimated that only 20% of mentally ill people seek treatment. Because mental illness is seen as a personal failing, society is reluctant to allocate sufficient funds to the hospitals, clinics, programs, and so on that might treat the mentally ill.

Difficulty Level: Medium 2. List the three perspectives that form the themes of the textbook. Suggest how each perspective may enrich our understanding of anxiety or depression.

Ans: Behavioral and experiential perspective, neuroscience perspective, and evolutionary perspective. The behavioral and experiential perspective might emphasize the subjective symptoms of anxiety or depression, such as worry or sadness, as well as such objective signs as inhibited emotional expression or changes in sleeping patterns.

The neuroscience perspective focuses on the brain bases of disorders and contributes to the development of antianxiety or antidepressant medication. Finally, the evolutionary perspective considers the adaptive value of such disorders as anxiety or depression; anxiety may inhibit one from taking unnecessary risks, for example. The evolutionary perspective also examines the extent to which disorders are universal across cultures.

Difficulty Level: Difficult 3. What is meant by the notion that mental illness is a social construction? How does cross-cultural research suggest that psychopathology is universal rather than a social construction?

Ans: The view that mental illness is a social construction suggests that thought or behavior may be abnormal only in relation to social norms; mental illness may be defined very differently from one society or historical period to another. Cross-cultural research by Jane Murphy discredits this view by showing that similar disorders are found at similar rates in very different cultures, including non-Western groups. Diverse cultures have words to refer to neurosis, psychosis, and normalcy.

Identify the positive and negative consequences of the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill that began in the 1950s. How might the negative consequences be mitigated? Suggest how stigma might hamper the mitigation of these consequences.

Ans: While deinstitutionalization allowed many people with mental illness to live independently, others ended up homeless or incarcerated. Community clinics and other support systems were not built or were inadequately funded, perhaps because mental illness is seen as a personal failing rather than a social problem.

Ans: Jackson suggested that there are levels of the brain, from more primitive to more evolved, and that higher levels restrict lower levels. As such, it was possible for the psyche to also be in conflict with itself and to have different layers representing different processes. Freud’s notion of repression is a direct development of Hughlings Jackson’s notions of hierarchical integration and inhibitory control.

Ans: histrionic Learning Objective: 2.6: Ask critical questions about psychopathology from an evolutionary perspective.

Cognitive Domain: Comprehension Answer Location: Psychopathology From an Evolutionary Perspective Difficulty Level: Medium Essay 1. Discuss how scientists in the 19th and early 20th pursued the neuroscience approach to normal and disordered mental function. Make explicit reference to at least two of the following individuals: Broca, Wundt, and Jung. How might these scientists’ work be seen as limited in comparison to contemporary neuroscientific research?

Ans: Scientists in the 19th and early 20th century attempted to make inferences about the brain activity underlying thought by studying animals and people who had suffered brain damage. Broca studied the brains of his patients who had died. In addition, psychologists such as Jung and Wundt sought a window into cognition in the form of simple behaviors like word associations and reaction time. Finally, Jung tried to relate thought to the body’s physiological responses by measuring the electrical conductivity of the skin. These techniques are limited because they are indirect; they do not image brain activity directly, as current techniques do.

Learning Objective: 2.1: Explain why neuroscience, genetics, and an evolutionary perspective are increasingly important in understanding psychopathology.

Ans: (1) Neurotransmitters are created and stored; (2) an action potential travels down the axon to the terminal; (3) a neurotransmitter is released into the synapse; (4) the neurotransmitter binds with specific proteins in the next neuron; (5) this either increases or decreases the possibility the next neuron will create an action potential; and (6) the synapse is made neutral again.

question, identify and briefly describe a specific neuroimaging technique that would be appropriate.

Ans: Spatial research question: You are interested in differences in hippocampal volume in individuals with and without schizophrenia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) would provide an image of the brain structure in question. MRI uses a large magnet to measure blood oxygen levels in the brain. Temporal research question: Differences in processing time in spoken versus written text in individuals with autism.

Electroencephalography (EEG) would be appropriate—EEG records the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Spatial and Temporal Resolution Difficulty Level: Hard 4. Several ethical questions have been raised with regard to who should have access to one’s internal processes and implications for genetic discoveries. Describe one of these issues and the evidence to support both sides.

Ans: This could be a description of issues related to eugenics, sharing one’s own genetic information with other third parties, or sharing incidental findings with individuals. Be sure the test taker describes both sides of the ethical argument. For example, sharing information that an individual might have the potential to experience schizophrenia with an insurance company might lead to a system that charges higher premiums up front to then offset the potential cost of treatment later. However, it is possible that the person never will experience schizophrenia throughout his or her life.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Neuroethics Difficulty Level: Hard 5. Describe the small-world framework. Explain how the framework offers a metaphor for the organization of neurons in the brain. Illustrate your answer with an example drawn from your own social connections or network.

Ans: Just as the contact of any two random individuals in the world can be accomplished with a limited number of connections, any two nodes in the brain can be represented by only a limited number of connections. Neurons have many shortdistance local connections, just as an individual has many friends in their local community. These connections form a hub. Each hub may be connected by a few longdistance connections to another hub, just as an individual’s network of local friends may be connected to a social network in a distant city by the friendships of one or two people. For example, I have many friends in my hometown of Lafayette, LA—my hub.

This network is connected to a network in Athens, GA, by my friendship with a woman in that city.

For each network, describe a specific instance of a situation from the past day or two in which the network may have been especially active in your brain.

Ans: Default or intrinsic network. Involved in internal processing that does not require sensory input. Example situation: Allowing one’s mind to wander on a city bus or commuter train; allowing one’s thoughts to drift when one first goes to bed.

Salience network: Monitors and notes important changes in biological and cognitive systems. Example situation: Suddenly realizing one is hungry at 1:30 in the afternoon; one’s thoughts turn to food and where to get it.

Central executive network: Involved in planning, goal setting, directing attention, and inhibiting impulses. Example situation: Writing a to-do list for the day, planning to set a goal of reading half a chapter of a textbook between the end of a work shift and the beginning of an evening class.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: Neurons Connect in a Network Difficulty Level: Medium 7. Suppose that blue eyes and curly hair are recessive traits. Use this information to define and illustrate Mendel’s first and second laws.

Ans: First law—the law of segregation. For a recessive trait to appear, an organism must have inherited the trait from both its parents. A blue-eyed child must have inherited the blue-eye allele of the eye color gene from both its mother and its father.

Second law—law of independent assortment. The inheritance of one trait does not influence the inheritance of another. A blue-eyed child may be curly haired or not. The recessive blue-eyed trait is completely independent of the recessive curly haired trait.

Ans: The evolutionary perspective expands our understanding of mental illness by directing us to ask whether particular disorders are universal across cultures and persistent through historical time. In this way, we might learn how and when disorders originated in the human population. The evolutionary perspective also directs us to consider how disorders may be related to traits that might be adaptive.

Ans: A hypothesis is a statement that allows a prediction to be tested.

Ideally, the example hypothesis should include some notion of both an independent and a dependent variable, such as, "Partying is related to lower grades."

Both the independent and dependent variables should be operationalized or stated in quantifiable terms. Examples: partying = hours per week spent consuming alcohol or other psychoactive substances in the company of one or more other people; grades = GPA.

Ans: A hypothesis is a formally stated expectation. This idea or expectation forms the first general stage of the scientific process. Empiricism is the process of acquiring knowledge through observation or experimentation. Empiricism is the basis of the second broad stage of the scientific process, when a scientist finds or observes a situation that will allow her or him to evaluate her or his expectation or hypothesis.

Inference is the process of evaluating evidence using logic and arriving at a conclusion, the final stage of the general process of scientific inquiry.

Select two of the following aphorisms: (1) “Birds of a feather flock together”; (2) “Opposites attract”; (3) “The more the merrier”; (4) “Two heads are better than one”; (5) “Two’s company; three’s a crowd.” Translate each aphorism that you select into a testable hypothesis. Provide operational definitions of each of the variables in each hypothesis.

Ans: The answer should include examples similar to the following: • “Birds of a feather flock together.” Hypothesis: The more similar two people are, the more likely they are to be attracted to each other. Operational definitions: Similarity—(high) correlation between two people's scores on personality and intelligence measures. Interpersonal attraction—attraction ratings completed by the members of the couple; pupil dilation; whether a follow-up phone call takes place.

• “Opposites attract.” Hypothesis: The more dissimilar two people are, the more likely they are to be attracted to each other. Operational definitions: Dissimilar— (low or negative) correlation between two people's scores on personality and intelligence measures. Interpersonal attraction—attraction ratings completed by the members of the couple; pupil dilation; whether a follow-up phone call takes place.

• “The more the merrier.” Hypothesis: As more people participate in a social event, each individual’s enjoyment of the event increases. Operational definitions: More people—the number of people attending an event. Enjoyment—enjoyment ratings; whether a subsequent get-together is endorsed.

• “Two heads are better than one.” Hypothesis: Problems are solved more rapidly when two individuals collaborate than when one individual attempts to solve the problems alone. Operational definitions: Rapidly—the time it takes to solve the problem. Collaboration—a second problem solver contributes to the solution.

• “Two’s company; three’s a crowd.” Hypothesis: Interpersonal attraction between members of a potential couple is higher when they meet alone than when they Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

meet in the presence of a third individual. Operational definitions: Interpersonal attraction—attraction ratings completed by the members of the couple; pupil dilation; whether a follow-up phone call takes place. Third individual—a confederate is either present or absent.

Learning Objective: 3.3: Explain why the experimental research method is generally considered more reliable than nonexperimental methods.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: Definitions in the Experimental Method Difficulty Level: Hard 5. Distinguish between statistical and clinical significance. Provide a hypothetical example of an effect that is statistically but not clinically significant or vice versa.

Ans: Statistical significance refers to the probability that an effect was observed by chance. Clinical significance refers to the applicability or practicality of a study outcome.

Example: A researcher may find that 5 hours of daily exercise leads to a measureable and statistically significant reduction in depression symptoms. However, this result is not clinically significant because it is unlikely that anyone can exercise that much on a daily basis.

Learning Objective: 3.4: Identify the steps in designing an experimental study.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: Clinical and Statistical Significance Difficulty Level: Medium 6. Participant selection and assignment is vital to experimental design. Define random selection, and explain how it increases the external validity of the research design.

Distinguish between a randomized control trial and a match subjects design; explain how both designs increase a study’s internal validity.

Ans: In random selection, each member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample of participants for the study. This procedure increases the likelihood that the results obtained with the sample will generalize to the population, strengthening the study’s external validity. In a randomized control trial, participants are randomly assigned to the experimental and control conditions, equalizing participant characteristics across the groups. This decreases the likelihood that a confounding rather than the independent variable is responsible for any differences in the dependent variable between the experimental and control groups. A match subjects design is used when the independent variable is a participant characteristic, such as the presence of particular disorder. All participant characteristics except the participant variable of interest are held constant across the groups. Like a randomized control trial, this procedure minimizes the likelihood that the results reflect the operation of a confounding variable.

contributes to our understanding of the genetic and environmental foundations of behavior.

Ans: Twin studies typically compare monozygotic and dizygotic twins to determine the genetic contribution of traits, such as intelligence and personality. Twins raised in the same environment that share some or all of their genetic material are a powerful participant group because when twins differ, it is easier to determine the source of the difference. Adoption studies are similar, except they assess twins that have been reared apart. This provides an opportunity to assess the influence of environmental factors on the development of various traits like personality, IQ, and possible pathology. A study of ~100 sets of twins reared apart demonstrated that 70% of the variance in IQ can be attributed to genetic factors.

Learning Objective: 3.5: Identify other types of research and considerations in studying psychopathology.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Behavioral Genetics Difficulty Level: Medium 8. Distinguish between the processes of replication and meta-analysis. Explain how these processes contribute to the progress of psychological science.

Ans: Replication—repeating a study with a different sample and/or with other modifications to the procedures; helps ensure that initial findings are reliable and not the result of some characteristic or bias of the initial study.

Meta-analysis—statistical technique to combine the results of a number of studies on the same topic to yield an overall effect size. Improves the reliability of scientific results.

Learning Objective: 3.5: Identify other types of research and considerations in studying psychopathology.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Replication and Meta-Analysis Difficulty Level: Medium 9. Several years ago, the social media platform was criticized for manipulating the emotional content of the news feeds of nearly 700,000 users without their knowledge.

Facebook claimed that its actions were consistent with the data use policy to which users agree when they become members. Does Facebook’s response allay any concern you may have with respect to their manipulation of news feeds? Why, or why not?

Ans: Answers should at least mention that a general data use policy may not constitute effective informed consent for the specific manipulation of news feeds. In addition, there is no indication that users could opt out of the manipulation at any point—participation was not voluntary. Answers should also mention that exposing users to negative emotional content constitutes harm and violates the Belmont principle of beneficence.

No measures were taken to mitigate this harm.

Learning Objective: 3.6: Discuss the ethical considerations that must be observed in performing psychological research.

Cognitive Domain: Knowledge Answer Location: DSM-5: The Current Version Difficulty Level: Easy Essay 1. Define the mental status exam. Imagine a hypothetical client visiting a clinician. The client is distressed by feelings of anxiety or depression. Highlight some of the things the clinician might note with respect to the first three categories of the mental status exam, as they are described in the textbook. Do not worry about exactly how accurately your descriptions reflect specific DSM-5 disorders—just imagine a client who is either anxious or depressed, and create plausible notes that accurately reflect the first three categories on the exam.

Ans: The mental status exam is a clinical interview organized into standard categories.

It is used all over the world.

The first category entails an assessment of appearance and overall behavior.

“The client appears neatly dressed and meticulously groomed. Posture is good. Motor Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

behavior seems mostly normal, but the client does seem to fidget and move around in her seat quite a bit.”

The second category is mood and affect. “The client’s affect is mostly positive.

The client appears somewhat tense, however. The client describes feeling tense and worried quite often over the past few weeks. She describes being unable to simply relax and enjoy the moment, even during situations usually considered happy or joyous.”

The next category is speech. “Speech is normal—perhaps a little rapid.”

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: The Mental Status Exam Difficulty Level: Medium 2. Several of Kay’s friends have completed a short quiz titled “How Friendly Are You . . .

Really?” on a popular social media platform. Although Kay knows the quiz is intended for entertainment value only, she is curious as to how sound it really it is. Suggest two ways that Kay might establish the quiz’s reliability and two ways that she might establish its validity. Make explicit reference to the types of reliability and types of validity described in the textbook.

Ans: Reliability refers to the consistency with which an instrument assesses a construct.

Kay might assess the quiz’s test—retest reliability by having a sample of participants take the quiz twice, with a week or two intervening between each completion. If the quiz has good test—retest reliability, an individual should receive very similar scores on the two attempts. Kay might also examine the quiz’s internal reliability—the questions should generally seem to relate to each other. With respect to validity, Kay could establish the concurrent validity of the quiz by finding a positive correlation between friendliness scores on the quiz and other plausible measures of friendliness—people with higher scores on the quiz should have more Facebook friends, for instance. Kay can check the quiz’s content validity by ensuring that the questions cover different aspects of friendship—a quiz that focused only on, say, whether the respondent helps other people may have limited content validity.

Ans: First, whereas the MMPI allows just “true” and “false” responses, the MMPI-2 has three response categories “true,” “false,” and “can’t say.” Second, the MMPI-2 has more items than the MMPI: 567, as compared to 500. Third, as compared to the MMPI, the MMPI-2 was normed on a more representative sample: The new norms represent a more diverse sample. Fourth, the methods used to develop the MMPI-2 were more empirically sound than those used to develop the MMPI. For example, in the development of the MMPI-2, a matched subjects design was used. Finally, it is possible to determine how extreme an individual’s responses are within a particular category on the MMPI-2 but not on the MMPI.

Ans: Advantage: less structured, allowing for flexibility in administration. Corresponding disadvantage: questionable reliability. Advantage: allows for assessment of motivations and desires. Corresponding disadvantage: questionable validity. Advantage: provides thorough understanding of person’s thoughts. Corresponding disadvantage: understanding a phenomenon does not necessarily lead to accurate predictions of future progress or behavior. Advantage: generates many hypotheses regarding a person’s function. Corresponding disadvantage: so many ideas and hypotheses may lead to erroneous testing avenues. Advantage: nonthreatening, builds rapport.

Corresponding disadvantage: detracts from objective analysis. Advantage: has long, rich clinical tradition. Corresponding disadvantage: projective tests are not based on evolving knowledge.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) Difficulty Level: Medium 5. “Brain imaging techniques—EEG, fMRI, and the like—promise to not only deepen psychopathologists’ understanding of particular disorders but also spur a reconsideration of the relationships among disorders and a reconceptualization of the schemes by which they are organized in such systems as the DSM-5.” Support this statement by drawing on the textbook’s discussion of using neuroscience techniques to identify mental illness.

Ans: People diagnosed with the same disorder often experience quite different symptoms. For example, some people with schizophrenia experience auditory hallucinations, whereas others experience visual ones. These differences may correspond to quite different brain mechanisms, suggesting that traditional diagnoses such as schizophrenia may actually subsume different disorders. Somewhat conversely, neuroscience research may also suggest similarities between disorders traditionally thought quite different. For example, genetic research suggests commonalities between bipolar disorder—long aligned in the DSM with depression as mood disorder—and schizophrenia, historically considered a psychotic disorder. Such traditional broad categories as neurosis, psychosis, and the like may need to be reconsidered, perhaps provoking a realignment of various disorders.

Difficulty Level: Hard 6. Define comorbidity. Distinguish between internalizing and externalizing disorders.

Illustrate your answers by describing, in one sentence, a hypothetical client with either comorbid internalizing or comorbid externalizing disorders.

Ans: Comorbidity refers to the presence of two or more disorders in the same person at the same time. In internalizing disorders, such as depression, the focus is on the individual’s inner world. In externalizing disorders, by contrast, the focus is on the external environment. Conduct disorder is one example. These concepts are illustrated

Explain how what is known about the brain bases of memory and reward enhance psychopathologists’ understanding of mental illness. How do these neuroscientific insights encourage a dimensional approach to psychopathology, rather than the traditional categorical one?

Ans: Neuroscientists have identified the hippocampus as a brain area critical in the consolidation of new memories. Scientists have also identified the neurotransmitters and biochemical changes involved in memory. These findings may shed light on the underpinnings of conditions as diverse as amnesia, age-related dementia, and delusional thinking. With respect to the reward system, scientists have pointed to the importance of dopamine release in an area called the nucleus accumbens. These brain mechanisms are similar in the rewarding experiences found in everyday life, such as enjoying a celebratory meal with a group of friends, and in more pathological experiences, such as abusing addictive drugs. These examples suggest that, more generally, neuroscience encourages a dimensional approach by suggesting more underlying similarity among disorders traditionally thought quite different and by showing the continuity between normal and disordered experiences.

Illustrate at least two of the purposes you describe using concrete examples.

Ans: Four of the following five purposes should be described. Examples will vary but should resemble those provided below. Only two examples are required because the information is fairly abstract, and students may not be familiar with many disorders at this point.

1. Nomenclature—Giving a name to a disorder gives professionals a way to describe their clients. For example, the label schizophrenia offers a convenient Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

way to discuss a cluster of behaviors including hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.

2. Information retrieval—Classifying disorders allow nonprofessionals to search for information regarding disorders. For example, a parent or teacher can Google the term attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

3. Descriptive system—A disorder’s name summarizes the symptoms and signs of the disorder. For example, the term bipolar disorder suggests moods that cycle from one extreme to the other.

4. Predictive system—A classification system helps one to know the course of the disorder and the types of treatments that might be effective. For example, a diagnosis of depression is associated with a particular time course, a variety of medications, and therapeutic techniques based on the cognitive-behavioral perspective.

5. Basis of theory—Classification systems offer a way to begin understanding a disorder. For example, the discussion of obsessive compulsive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder alongside anxiety disorders suggests that these disorders share common mechanisms.

Describe a few of the major changes made to the DSM from the 1980s to the present—from the DSM-III through the DSM-5. Which of these changes do you think is most significant, and why?

Ans: The DSM-IV strengthened the scientific evidence underlying the diagnoses it contained. Additionally, the DSM-IV was better articulated with the ICD-10 than was the DSM-III. The DSM-5 dropped the multiaxial system featured in DSM-III and DSM-IV and organized disorders in terms of underlying vulnerabilities rather than merely outward signs and symptoms. The DSM-5 also began reflecting a dimensional approach to assessment. For example, some disorders are described as lying along spectra rather than as discrete categories. The incorporation of a dimensional element is probably the most significant recent change to the DSM because it aligns with growing neuroscientific evidence and reflects the underpinnings rather than merely the symptoms of disorders.

Ans: Neurons called mirror neurons support imitation learning. Each time an individual sees an action done by another, the neurons that would be involved in that action are activated. This in turn creates a motor representation of the observed action. That is, we see an action and consider how we might make it ourselves, although we don’t do this consciously. In essence, the observer’s brain turns a visual image into a motor plan.

Learning Objective: 5.1: Summarize the major brain and developmental changes in childhood and adolescence.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Imitation Learning Difficulty Level: Medium 2. What processes and brain structures are involved in the processing of social information, and what do these processes tell us about the role of social skills in our lives?

Ans: Brain structures involved in social interactions can be organized in terms of three processes. The first process involves processing sensory information in higher-level neocortical regions. This is how we know who we experience through vision, hearing, touch, and other sensory processes. Research suggests that when looking at a face, we process broad categorizations related to gender and to the emotion expressed before we complete the detailed construction of the entire face and determine who we are seeing. Second, our sensory system also helps us predict what people will do socially, based on their physical movements. As we see a social interaction, what happens on the level of the brain? What happens first involves the amygdala, striatum, and orbitofrontal cortex. The amygdala is involved in processing the emotional significance of an event. Overall, these areas help us know the emotional context of our perceptions and what we need to do about them. The third process involves the higher cortical regions of the neocortex. These are the regions that let us construct an inner model of our social world. Included in this model would be some social understanding of others, their relationship with us, and the meaning of our actions for the social group. It is these areas that are most likely associated with the theory of mind, our ability to attribute mental states to other people. Indeed, damage to the orbitofrontal cortex does reduce our ability to detect a faux pas in a given situation. The prefrontal cortex has also been shown to be activated during humor, social-norm transgressions resulting in embarrassment, and so-called moral emotions. The widely distributed network of areas involved in processing social information suggests that a sophisticated system evolved and that social information is important to human survival.

Learning Objective: 5.1: Summarize the major brain and developmental changes in childhood and adolescence.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Brain Systems Involved in Social Relations Difficulty Level: Medium 3. Sandy, a middle-aged woman, recently posted this status update: “In 13 days, Ty turns 13: I will officially be a parent of a teenager!” Describe two broad trends in brain development during adolescence, and suggest how these changes may be reflected in Ty’s behavior.

Ans: While the popular notion of adolescence as a time of “storm and stress” may be exaggerated, few can deny that adolescence is marked by increased emotionality, sociality, and impulsivity. These characteristics reflect two broad trends in brain development during adolescence: (1) Subcortical structures, such as the limbic system, mature more quickly than does the cortex, and (2) brain networks become increasingly differentiated and specialized. Emotionality and impulsivity largely reflect the first trend.

In the limbic system, the amygdala is closely associated with emotional processing; in the cortex, the prefrontal cortex is associated with planning and restraint. That the amygdala matures years before the prefrontal cortex does means that adolescence is marked by increased responsivity to emotional cues and to signals for reward and punishment; the lagging development of the prefrontal cortex means that adolescents are prone to act on these cues. Ty might take risks or seek thrills—from more positive ones, such as those involved in such pursuits as demanding athletics, bungee jumping, riding roller coasters, and so on, to less positive ones, such as street racing or experimentation with drugs of abuse. The sociality of adolescents and the importance of peers reflect the differentiation of the brain’s networks and the emergence of the social brain. Ty might spend little time at home, preferring involvement with a large circle of friends.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Mary Ainsworth’s Work and Styles of Attachment Difficulty Level: Medium 5. Compare and contrast (1) reactive attachment disorder and (2) disinhibited social engagement disorder, then (1) conduct disorder and (2) oppositional defiant disorder.

Ans: Reactive attachment disorder and disinhibited social engagement disorder: Both disorders develop when an infant or young child is not well cared for. RAD is characterized by a lack of responsiveness or emotion. The child does not seek comfort from traditional attachment figures and may respond to caregivers with inappropriate negative emotions. In disinhibited social engagement disorder, by contrast, a child is too willing to seek closeness and comfort and is willing to attach to total strangers.

Conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder: Both disorders involve angry, disruptive behavior. In conduct disorder, however, the behavior includes aggression and may entail antisocial behavior, such as destroying property and breaking the law.

Briefly describe how the DSM-5 diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder differs from corresponding diagnoses in the DSM-IV. How does the revision of the DSM-IV diagnoses relate to the distinction between categorical and dimensional approaches to diagnosis?

Ans: The DSM-5 uses autism spectrum disorder as a single “umbrella” diagnosis, conceptualized as a continuum. By contrast, the DSM-IV specified three distinct disorders: autism, Asperger’s syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder. The DSM-5’s notion of a spectrum is essentially an autism dimension or continuum, whereas the DSM-IV divides this continuum into three discrete categories.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 7. It is widely recognized that people with autism spectrum disorder display deficits in communication and social behavior. It is perhaps less often noted that in some areas, their abilities may surpass those of people without autism spectrum disorder. Draw off what you have learned to support this statement. Very generally, how do the enhanced abilities of those with autism spectrum disorder lend credence to an evolutionary approach to psychopathology?

Ans: According to Baron-Cohen’s (e.g., Baron-Cohen, 2009) empathizing-systemizing theory, people with autism spectrum disorder may show deficits in empathizing but superior abilities to systemize—that is, to understand objects or events with respect to their underlying structures, rules, or patterns. Additionally, some 10% of individuals with ASD show special abilities in art, music, calculation, or memory. This is called savant syndrome. An evolutionary perspective on psychopathology encourages scientists to consider the adaptive advantage of mental disorders. The enhanced abilities of those with ASD might contribute to scientific and artistic achievement and advances. Perhaps the species’ survival is aided by the existence of some people who are less engaged and involved in everyday social concerns and more attuned to understanding the more abstract rules, patterns, regularities, and structures underlying the world around us.

These individuals may contribute disproportionately, for example, to the scientific progress that has more than doubled the human life expectancy.

What specific things might you tell Jaden’s parents to try at home?

Ans: The most effective treatment is a combination of stimulant medication, such as methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Stimulants reduce hyperactivity, improve focus, and improve coordination. They appear to be effective for about 70% of children with ADHD. Cognitive behavioral therapy can involve the whole family; parents can learn ways to manage the child’s behavior and to reduce the frequency of negative interactions within the family. Jaden’s parents can be consistent in establishing and enforcing a reward and time-out system in the home and can reinforce Jaden’s positive behaviors to avoid destructive escalations of negative interactions.

Ans: Most types of intellectual developmental disorder can be traced to biological causes (see Mefford, Batshaw, & Hoffman, 2012, for an overview). However, the variation is huge. Examining genetic, chromosomal, and metabolic abnormalities has led researchers to identify more than 1,000 forms of impairment (Dykens & Hodapp, 2001). It has been suggested that mild disorders are more related to environmental influences. More severe forms are more related to biological factors (see Shapiro & Batshaw, 2011, for an overview). One way to organize these disorders is in terms of those directly related to chromosomes, those related to metabolism, and those related to events that take place in the womb, such as malnutrition or the mother taking drugs, such as alcohol or crack.

Cognitive Domain: Knowledge Answer Location: Suicide Difficulty Level: Medium Essay 1. Compare the potential loss in economic productivity caused by major depressive disorder to that caused by medical disorders. Give two reasons for the economic loss represented by depression. Suggest one way to mitigate this loss.

Ans: Major depressive disorder is responsible for at least as many lost days of work as are more traditional medical disorders. In fact, major depressive disorder is second only to neck and back pain in number of work days lost. Two reasons for extent of the loss represented by major depression are (1) only one-third of those who experience the disorder seek help in the first year and 50% of those who delay wait 5 years or more to get help, and (2) the likelihood of a “relapse”—another episode—is high, even with treatment. An obvious way to mitigate this loss is to encourage people to seek help sooner. The cost of a public service or public health campaign with this objective may well be offset by the reduced losses in productivity that might result.

Ans: The cognitive model is similar to a learning theory model. It suggests that adverse events that occur early in life can lead to the development of depressive schemas.

These depressive schemas are characterized by negative self-referential beliefs. When a new stressor appears, it can activate the prior negative schemas. Negative schemas Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

Ans: There are similarities to the response of physical sickness and depression.

Cytokines acting on the brain produce the experience of sickness, leading to behaviors similar to those seen in depression. This has led to the theory that cytokine malfunction may be involved with depression. At present, the theory enjoys only mixed support; the evidence suggests that depression leads to rather than stems from depressed immune system responses.

Ans: Traditional cognitive therapy focuses squarely on the client’s negative thoughts about the self, the world, and the future. It helps the client develop ways to dispute or remove these thoughts. “New wave” cognitive therapy acknowledges the importance of negative thoughts but focuses on helping accept and “be okay” with them. Emotionfocused therapy focuses on emotional experience, helping clients avoid becoming overwhelmed by anxiety or sadness. Finally, psychodynamic therapy emphasizes the importance of key relationships.

Learning Objective: 6.4: Identify the types and characteristics of bipolar disorder.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 6. Suggest how a biopsychosocial model may illuminate the causes of bipolar disorder.

Ans: The biopsychosocial model suggests that complex phenomena such as bipolar disorder are generally caused by a combination of factors at biological, psychological, and cultural levels.

At the biological level, there is a genetic predisposition to bipolar disorder. First-degree relatives of a person with bipolar disorder are at about 10 times the risk for developing the disorder themselves than they would be otherwise. Mitochondrial functioning appears unusual in those with bipolar disorder. Receptor sensitivity to dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin is unusual among those with bipolar disorder. At the psychological level, the popular notions of a link between “creativity and madness” and the seeming overrepresentation of people with bipolar disorder in the arts suggests that certain personality traits or combinations of traits may predispose one to bipolar disorder. It doesn’t seem far-fetched, for instance, that high levels of both openness and neuroticism may predispose one to artistic creativity and to bipolar disorder. At the social level, a family atmosphere of hostility, criticism, and emotional “drama” is associated with relapse among patients with bipolar disorder who have been released from hospitalization to their family’s care.

Dr. Velez is a psychiatrist with a new patient, a college student who has been diagnosed recently with bipolar I disorder. When Dr. Velez begins describing treatment options, the client mentions that he has heard that people with bipolar disorder are often treated with lithium. What considerations might Dr. Velez advise her patient to keep in mind when deciding whether lithium is a treatment he’d like to try?

Ans: Lithium is best seen as a mood stabilizer. It is more effective at treating manic than depressive episodes. As a patient with bipolar I, Dr. Velez’s client may not even have depressive episodes; he should consider the extent of his experience with depressed mood in his assessment of the potential utility of lithium. The client should also consider how rapidly he cycles between manic and depressed episodes; lithium is less effective in cases of rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. Finally, although lithium is in widespread use for treating bipolar disorder, its effectiveness is lower than its long-time use might suggest. The client should compare its effectiveness with that of other medications, such as anticonvulsants like valproate.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: Medications for Bipolar Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 8. The suicide rate in the armed forces has increased since 2008. Briefly summarize what is known about suicide in the military. Suggest at least two implications of this knowledge for preventing suicide among military personnel.

Ans: Somewhat counterintuitively, it does not seem that deployment itself or combat experience is related to suicide among armed forces personnel. Suicide attempts tend to happen most often early on in service and are related to leaving the military after less than 4 years of service. Females and those with less than a high school education are more likely to attempt suicide, as are those who leave without an honorable discharge.

These findings suggest that improving enlistees’ orientation to service and to the military culture may be more effective avenues of suicide prevention that limiting or spacing out deployments. Development of coping and problem-solving skills and techniques for finding and marshaling social support might be ingredients of this orientation, especially for female personnel and for those with less education.

Briefly outline the sequence of events that occur in the HPA axis when a stressor occurs. Suggest how dysregulation of the axis may be involved in hypothalamus.

Ans: (1) The hypothalamus produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH); (2) CRH, in turn, produces adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the pituitary gland; (3) ACTH in the blood, in turn, causes the adrenal glands to produce glucocorticoids, such as cortisol. The HPA is ultimately under the excitatory control of the amygdala and the inhibitory control of the hippocampus. Dysregulation of the HPA axis has been related to vulnerability to psychosis among adolescents, and HPA overactivity is associated with depression.

Anne is waiting to give an oral presentation in one of her college classes. Anne is feeling increasingly “stressed” as the moment nears. Distinguish between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the nervous system. Identify the effects of these divisions on three organs or structures of Anne’s body (1) as she readies to give the presentation and (2) after she returns to her seat with relief after its conclusion.

Ans: The sympathetic nervous system readies the body for action. It mobilizes necessary resources to power the fight-or-flight response. By contrast, the parasympathetic system restores the body’s reserves and enables the elimination of wastes. When Anne is about to give the presentation, the sympathetic nervous system is active. Anne’s heart beats quickly, she may be sweating, and her mouth becomes dry. After the stressful presentation, Anne’s parasympathetic system takes over, slowing her heart, constricting her pupils, and making her mouth less dry.

Difficulty Level: Medium 3. Phrases such as “broken hearts” and “hurt feelings” liken emotional pain to physical pain. To what extent is the metaphor implied in these phrases supported neuroscientifically?

Ans: Over evolutionary time, social pain appears to have co-opted the brain and body mechanisms for processing physical pain. The brain and body therefore experience social and physical pain similarly. At a perceptual level, experiencing physical pain increases sensitivity to social pain and vice versa. Social support reduces the experience of physical pain. The unpleasantness of both physical pain and social pain appear to involve activity of the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex.

Difficulty Level: Medium 4. The final examination period is stressful for many students. Use Hans Selye’s general adaptation syndrome to describe students’ experience of stress and physical health from the beginning of the examination period to the period immediately following the last examination.

Ans: Selye’s general adaptation syndrome contains three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. The alarm stage is an initial response to the stressor. It is essentially a fightor-flight response. A student’s heart rate might increase, for instance, when she or he sees the final examination schedule. Resistance refers to the body’s efforts to adjust to the stress. Energy is mobilized, and a student may experience the motivation to pour himself or herself into studying, perhaps neglecting sleep, healthy eating, and exercise.

Finally, the body’s resources are depleted during the exhaustion stage. A student may become sick and perhaps feel let down after the examination period.

Learning Objective: 7.3: Discuss major findings about fight or flight and social versus physical stress.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: The Study of Stress Difficulty Level: Medium 5. In what way is the stress response paradoxical? How does the distinction between allostasis and allostatic load help clarify the paradox of stress?

Ans: Selye noticed that stress is paradoxical, in that the mechanisms evolved to protect and restore the body can damage it. At an experiential level, many people find some stress both motivating and exhausting. McEwan’s (2015) distinction between allostasis and allostatic load not only better captures the notion of stress as a dynamic process within the body—rather than a force imposed from without—but it also clarifies Selye’s paradox by bringing the difference between the immediate effects of short-term stress, on the one hand, and the cumulative effects of chronic stress, on the other. Allostasis refers to the body’s ability to adjust to a short-term stressor. Our bodies mobilize Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

resources to adapt to a stressor and to protect use. With repeated stressors and repeated allostatic adjustments, however, allostatic load builds up; chronic stress causes cumulative wear and tear on the body.

Learning Objective: 7.3: Discuss major findings about fight or flight and social versus physical stress.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: The Study of Stress Difficulty Level: Hard 6. Compare and contrast the fight-or-flight and tend-and-befriend responses to stress.

Ans: Like the fight-or-flight response, the tend-and-befriend response is a reaction to stress. They are quite different, however: Whereas fight or flight entails combatting or escaping an adversary or a threat more generally, the tend-and-befriend response is a reaction to stress in which an individual protects others and forms social connections.

Both responses are adaptive, helping to ensure survival, and both involve generally similar neuroendocrine responses. However, whereas fight or flight reflects a sympathetic nervous system response that relies on testosterone, tend and befriend may be seen as a parasympathetic response reflecting the hormone oxytocin. Males tend to display fight-or-flight responses, whereas females more often demonstrate tendand-befriend responses.

Difficulty Level: Medium 7. Distinguish between adjustment disorder, acute stress disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder with respect to the nature of the precipitating event, the symptoms required for diagnosis, and the duration of the symptoms.

Ans: Adjustment disorder may be considered the least severe of these three traumaand stressor-related disorders. Unlike acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorder does not require the experience of a traumatic event but merely an event that is experienced as distressing. Moreover, its diagnosis does not require the specific types of symptoms required for the diagnoses of acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder; its diagnosis requires a more global experience of distress. The distress must occur within 3 months of an event and last no longer than 6 months. Both acute and post-traumatic stress disorder require the experience of a traumatic event, such as a violent assault. Both disorders involve the experience of specific categories of symptoms, such as negative moods, intrusions, and dissociative symptoms. The difference between the two disorders is their duration; acute stress disorder lasts from 3 days to 1 month, whereas PTSD lasts longer.

8. Describe key differences in the amygdala and the hippocampus between those with PTSD and those without the disorder. How might these differences relate to the signs and symptoms of the disorder?

Ans: In individuals with PTSD, the hippocampus is smaller than in those without disorder, whereas the amygdala is hyperresponsive, perhaps because of a lack of inhibition from frontal areas of the cortex. The hippocampus is important in encoding the memories of traumatic experiences. Perhaps the smaller hippocampus in individuals with PTSD relates to the intrusiveness of traumatic memories seen in the disorder. The amygdala is involved in the assessment of threat and the conditioning of fear. The hyperresponsive amygdala seen in those with PTSD may help explain the exaggerated fear response characteristic of the disorder.

Learning Objective: 7.4: Describe the characteristics of PTSD and other DSM-5 stress disorders, causes, and treatment.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: The Physiological Aspects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 9. Stephen has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after surviving a mass shooting at a nightclub. For each of these three treatments for PTSD, write one or two sentences describing what Stephen might experience during the therapy: (1) exposure therapy for PTSD, (2) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and (3) eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

Ans: Exposure therapy for PTSD: Stephen may be asked to picture the experience and remember details from it. Stephen and his therapist may visit the nightclub’s location and relive the experience. In this way, Stephen might gain a sense of mastery over the experience.

CBT: CBT aims to restructure the client’s thinking about the event, replacing dysfunctional thoughts with more productive ones. Stephen might be asked to identify his thoughts and feelings regarding the incident. The therapist might help him replace thoughts that he could have stopped the shooter, for instance, with less destructive thoughts.

EMDR: Steven may be asked to reimagine the nightclub trauma while following a moving target with his eyes until he no longer experiences distress at remembering the trauma. The goal is to reactivate and fully process memories associated with the incident.

1. How might one explain anxiety disorders using an evolutionary approach? Support your answer by reviewing the research by Susan Mineka and her colleagues.

Ans: In general, an evolutionary approach suggests that disordered thought and behavior have their roots in tendencies that are adaptive—that is, that facilitate survival.

According to the evolutionary perspective, to be fearful of dangerous objects or situations is protective and therefore adaptive. This adaptive tendency becomes disordered when the fear is disproportionate to the situation. For example, the potential for negative social evaluation poses no immediate threat to survival; when this situation elicits extreme anxiety, an individual may be diagnosed with social anxiety disorder.

Susan Mineka’s research supports the evolutionary approach to anxiety disorders by showing that the observational learning of fear responses among young lab-reared monkeys is only possible when the feared object is one that poses a real threat in the wild. The young lab-reared monkeys could not learn to fear a flower after watching video of a monkey demonstrating a conditioned fear of a flower. They could, however, acquire a fear of snakes through observational learning.

Explain how these laboratory tasks may be used to assess cognitive bias among individuals with anxiety disorders.

Ans: A cognitive bias is a tendency to attend to different aspects of the environment than might be the norm. Cognitive bias manifests in anxiety disorders as a heightened sensitivity to threats. The threat Stroop and dot-probe tasks are two laboratory procedures used to assess the bias toward threat seen in anxiety disorders. Modified Stroop task: The traditional Stroop test has color names shown in the name of a different color. That is, the word green might be shown in green or in red letters. When asked to name the color of the ink, individuals are slower when the name and color do not match, as compared with when the ink and color name are the same. When using a “threat” Stroop, the name of the color is replaced by a threat word. People with anxiety disorders are slower to name the color of the letters than people without such disorders because they are focused on the threat word. Dot probe: One version of the task asks individuals to focus on an X in the middle of the computer screen. On each side of the X are words. The person is to press a computer key whenever a word is replaced by a dot. In anxiety studies, both words can be neutral, represent different types of threat, or one neutral and one threat. People with anxiety disorders are slower than others to detect the dot in the presence of threat words.

3. Phil’s psychiatrist prescribes him a benzodiazepine for generalized anxiety disorder.

“What does it do, exactly?” Phil asks. The psychiatrist begins by stating that the drug influences certain chemicals in his brain, then provides a more detailed explanation.

Supply the more detailed explanation that Phil’s psychiatrist probably provided.

Ans: The psychiatrist might explain that people like Phil, who have anxiety disorders, generally have reduced levels of a brain chemical, or neurotransmitter, called GABA. GABA normally inhibits or helps block the brain structures that respond to threats in the environment. These structures include the prefrontal cortex and deeper brain structures such as the amygdala and hippocampus. Because GABA helps block threat responses, people with anxiety disorders have exaggerated threat responses because they have too little GABA. The benzodiazepine that the psychiatrist prescribes will help boost the GABA that Phil does have, thereby blunting his exaggerated threat responses.

Learning Objective: 8.2: Discuss the cognitive, neurobiological, and developmental aspects of anxiety.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: Neurobiology of Anxiety Disorders Difficulty Level: Medium 4. “I can’t stop worrying. I worry all the time. It seems so pointless, but there must be a reason,” a client tells his or her therapist. Draw on (1) research comparing worry among people with generalized anxiety disorders with worry among normal controls and (2) the cognitive avoidance model of generalized anxiety disorder to suggest what the therapist might tell the client with respect to worry.

Ans: The therapist might begin by reassuring the client that almost everyone worries and that not all worry is bad. One of the functions of worrying, in fact, is to prepare an individual for negative events or to enable her or him to prevent negative events from happening. Worry becomes a problem, however, when a person cannot control it or cannot move from worrying about events to actively coping with them. Psychologists suggest that worry sometimes functions to reduce one’s negative feelings about bad events. In a sense, people use the worrying itself as a way to cope, rather than adopting more effective coping strategies.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: Generalized Anxiety Disorder Difficulty Level: Hard 5. Imagine that you are a psychiatrist or a psychologist with prescription privileges. You are treating a client with generalized anxiety disorder. Identify the three classes of medications you might prescribe, and briefly note their general mechanism of action in the brain. For each class, write one or two sentences reflecting how you might describe its advantages and disadvantages to the client.

Ans: (1) Benzodiazepines—encourage GABA activity. “On the one hand, benzodiazepines have been used for a long time and are very effective in reducing anxiety symptoms for people with generalized anxiety disorders. They also work quickly.

Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

Learning Objective: 8.3: Distinguish among the major anxiety disorders, their causes, and treatment.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Biological Treatment Difficulty Level: Medium 6. Exposure therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy offer effective psychological treatment alternatives for many of the anxiety disorders. In one or two sentences, contrast the general focus and overall approach of exposure therapy with that of cognitive behavioral therapy. Illustrate the distinction with specific reference to the treatment of social anxiety disorder.

Ans: In exposure therapy, a client directly confronts a feared or anxiety-provoking object or situation until he or she can respond to it without fear or anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to change a client’s automatic, irrational thoughts surrounding an anxietyprovoking situation. Exposure therapy for social anxiety disorder might begin by having the client create a hierarchy of anxiety-provoking situations, from the least anxiety provoking to the most. The hierarchy might progress, for example, from interacting with a cashier at a store to giving an important oral presentation. The client would then progress through the hierarchy via role-playing or actual experience until the situations no longer cause distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy would help the client confront and restructure her or his automatic, negative thoughts regarding social situations.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 7. Juliette has a disabling fear of dogs. Describe how a psychotherapist might treat Juliette’s phobia.

Ans: The treatment of specific phobia most often involves exposure to the feared object.

Ost (1986, 1989) has shown that a single 3-hour session was sufficient to significantly reduce fear of snakes and spiders, although a larger number of shorter sessions are often used. Juliette and her therapist would first discuss her fears, her catastrophic expectations surrounding encounters with dogs, and the situations that provoke her fears. The therapist would then slowly introduce dogs—beginning, perhaps, with pictures of dogs or a dog at a distance. The therapist would bring a dog progressively closer to Juliette until Juliette could touch the dog without fear. Throughout the procedure, the therapist would ask Juliette to assess her level of fear.

Although his build is attractive, he continues to bemoan his perceived lack of muscularity. In addition to the time he spends at the gym, he spends an additional two or three hours researching bodybuilding supplements and techniques online. He claims he has no time for personal relationships; his entire life is consumed by either work or fitness.”

(3) Trichotillomania (hair-pulling): “When Julie feels stressed, she tends to pull at her hair. She often does this when sitting at her vanity alone at night. Her pulling has resulted in an area of thinning hair alongside the part in her hair.”

(4) Excoriation (skin-picking): “Luis picks at small blemishes on his forearms. His picking has resulted in deep lesions, which have scabbed over.”

the core features of dissociative identity disorder, such as that summarized by Gleaves et al. (2001)?

Ans: Dissociation refers to a failure to integrate sensory and psychological processes, such as memory, awareness, and identity. Janet viewed dissociation as a failure of memory processes when a weak ego could not withstand a traumatic experience.

Sensory, motor, and identity processes “forgot” to function normally after a distressing event. Like Janet, Freud highlighted the role of trauma in initiating dissociation. Unlike Janet, Freud saw dissociation as the result of a strong ego able to block the event and the memory of its experience. Gleaves et al. (2001) found that across studies, trauma and amnesia are universal elements of dissociative identity theory, supporting the basic elements of Janet’s and Freud’s views.

Learning Objective: 9.1: Describe the characteristics of depersonalization/derealization disorder.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Dissociative Disorders Difficulty Level: Medium 2. The role of trauma and the experience of unusual states of awareness or identity in the dissociative disorders have led psychologists to explore the relationship between dissociation and post-traumatic stress, on the one hand, and hypnosis, on the other.

Briefly summarize the results of this research.

Ans: The research shows that dissociation is separate both from post-traumatic stress and hypnotic suggestibility. A study of people who had been tortured showed that while they all experienced PTSD, they varied greatly in the number of dissociative experiences. The number of dissociative experiences related positively to left frontal lobe activity and negatively to right frontal lobe activity, suggesting that dissociation reflected changes in brain networks integrating the linguistic and the emotional aspects of experiences. Hypnotic suggestibility appeared largely unrelated to dissociation, perhaps because hypnotic states are entered voluntarily, whereas dissociative states are involuntarily.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Dissociative Disorders Difficulty Level: Hard 3. Explain the difference between depersonalization and derealization. How prevalent are nonpathological experiences of depersonalization and derealization? How prevalent is derealization/depersonalization disorder?

Ans: In depersonalization, one feels as if one is watching oneself from the outside; one feels detached from the reality of one’s own self. In derealization, the world is experienced in a fog or a dream; one’s experience of the world does not seem real or solid. Isolated experiences such as these are quite common; as many as 50% of all adults report having had them. Full-blown depersonalization/derealization disorder usually begins in adolescence and affects about 2% of the population. It is equally common across genders.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 4. At one time, dissociative identity disorder was often called multiple personality disorder. Support the notion that dissociative identity disorder is better seen as a development or memory disorder than a personality disorder.

Ans: Dissociative identity disorder originates in a traumatic experience occurring before 5 or 6 years of age. Because the traumatic experience occurs so early, a coherent, consistent sense of self fails to emerge, and different identities are experienced at different times. Dissociative amnesia is seen in almost all cases of dissociative identity disorder. The memory disruptions can take different forms: forgetting a portion of one’s life, forgetting learned skills, or forgetting things that one has done are all possible.

Learning Objective: 9.3: Describe the characteristics of dissociative identity disorder.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Dissociative Identity Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 5. Review the evidence suggesting that illness anxiety disorder is better categorized as a somatic symptom disorder than an anxiety disorder.

Ans: Individuals with illness anxiety disorder conceptualize health, illness, and bodily symptoms differently than do individuals with anxiety disorders. Individuals with illness anxiety disorder almost always consider bodily symptoms or complaints a sign of illness; people with other types of disorders do not. In addition, people with illness anxiety disorder view bodily complaints as incompatible with good health and as more severe in themselves than in others. In sum, people with illness anxiety disorder seem to have a more restrictive view of good health than do other people; this narrow view of health is not typical of people diagnosed with anxiety disorders.

Where relevant, note how the terms are used. Define two of these three terms: (1) glove anesthesia, (2) la belle indifference, and (3) conversion reaction.

Ans: Historically, conversion disorder was referred to as hysteria. Currently, conversion disorder is also known as functional neurological symptom disorder. This term is used in neurology and also appears in the DSM-5. The medical literature also uses the categories psychogenic disorders and functional disorders to refer to conversion disorder.

Glove anesthesia—a specific type of conversion disorder in which the patients claim no feeling in the hand, but the symptom does not follow known physiology.

Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

La belle indifference—patients with conversion disorder are sometimes unconcerned with the effects of the symptoms they report.

He spends an excessive amount of time researching bleeding ulcers online and has scheduled needless and time-consuming appointments and examinations with gastroenterologists.

2. illness anxiety disorder—Gina is preoccupied with the notion that she may develop a brain tumor, even though she has no symptoms that might indicate such a disorder. She spends a lot of time reading a medical encyclopedia and seems obsessed with serious diseases and conditions.

3. conversion disorder—Marilyn complains that she cannot feel anything below her left knee. Such a lack of feeling does not reflect what is known about the innervation of the limbs.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: Conversion Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 8. Distinguish between malingering, on the one hand, and factious disorder, on the other.

Ans: Factitious disorder differs from malingering in that malingering involves deception to obtain external rewards (e.g., insurance claims, days off of work, or access to drugs) while the deception associated with factitious disorder is evident despite a lack of external reward for such behavior. In factitious disorder, symptoms are created so that an individual may obtain attention or sympathy.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Factitious Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium 9. Compare and contrast the treatment of somatic symptom disorders with the treatment of other psychological disorders.

Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

Ans: Somatic symptom disorders represent an intersection between psychological and medical process. Their treatment therefore differs somewhat from the treatment of other psychological disorders. Individuals with somatic symptom disorders often seek the attention of medical rather than mental health professionals. The professional performing the diagnosis is therefore not one who is specialized in the treatment of the disorder. The medical professional will likely provide some education regarding the client’s stress and any symptoms they might report and may suggest that the symptoms will improve on their own. By the time they are discharged from medical care, about 50% of those with conversion disorder are asymptomatic. Education provided by medical doctors is therefore an important part of the treatment of somatic symptom disorders, and it distinguishes the treatment of these disorders from other mental disorders. The continued psychological treatment of those with somatic symptom disorders resembles that use in the case of anxiety disorders. It usually involves antidepressant medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT has been shown to reduce symptoms and psychological distress.

Answer Location: Binge Eating Disorder Difficulty Level: Medium Essay 1. Distinguish between eating and feeding disorders. Provide one example of each.

How did feeding and eating disorders come to be included in one category in the DSM-5?

Ans: Feeding disorders tend to revolve around unhealthy attitudes or behaviors with respect to the substances that are ingested. For example, pica involves eating nonnutritive substances that are not considered food. Eating disorders reflect unhealthy thoughts or behaviors with respect to eating more generally. Anorexia nervosa is one example of an eating disorder, whereas pica is one of the feeding disorders. Previously, feeding disorders were included among the disorders usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. However, because the feeding disorders can actually appear at any age, they have been included in an expanded feeding and eating disorders category in the DSM-5.

Learning Objective: 10.1: Describe the characteristics and prevalence of the major feeding disorders.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Feeding Disorders Difficulty Level: Medium 2. What is pica? Describe the conditions under which it most frequently occurs.

Ans: Pica is a feeding disorder that involves eating substances that are not considered food, such as clay or paste. Pica is seen around the world, but it is more common in the developing world than in developed nations. It is more often seen in childhood than in adulthood, and it is sometimes seen during pregnancy.

Twice each month, the Department of Psychology at State University hosts a panel discussion among several faculty members on a topic of contemporary interest. The goal is to show students that thought and behavior may be explained at different levels and from different perspectives. At today’s discussion, the topic is obesity. The discussants are Dr. Park, a biological psychologist; Dr. Lewis, a behavioral psychologist; and Dr. Bothwell, an evolutionary psychologist. For each psychologist, provide one or two sentences suggesting how he or she might explain obesity.

Ans: Dr. Park might point to the genetic basis of weight and the amount and distribution of body fat. Children’s weight resembles that of their biological parents, even when they are adopted. Dr. Park might also note that obese individuals show underactivity of the brain’s reward system during eating, leading to increased consumption to obtain satisfaction.

Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

Dr. Lewis might suggest that obesity may be partly maintained by reinforcement—by the feelings of comfort or relief from anxiety that occur after eating. Finally, Dr. Bothwell might refer to the thrifty gene hypothesis—the idea that our genetic makeup developed when food was scarce. We are therefore motivated to seek and consume high-energy foods such as sugars and fats. These foods are now overconsumed because they are readily available.

Learning Objective: 10.2: Discuss the factors that influence obesity.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: The Problem of Obesity Difficulty Level: Medium 4. Describe differences in how men and women think about weight.

Ans: Males and females think about their weight differently. Females tend to overestimate their weight, whereas males tend to underestimate their weight. Women, moreover, tend to view their own weight as higher than either their ideal weight or the weight they believe would be attractive to males. Men tend to view their own weight as similar to the ideal weight and to the weight they think that women would find attractive.

When looking at the role of BMI in weight estimates, it was found that no matter what their BMI, more women than men felt overweight; women tend to overestimate their weight. These findings tend to be similar the world around.

Gloria has been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. The therapist recommends the Maudsley approach to Gloria’s treatment because it has had some success in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Briefly explain how Gloria’s treatment might proceed using the Maudsley approach.

Ans: Gloria’s treatment would proceed in three phases. The first phase is weight restoration. In this phase, the therapist would work with Mr. and Mrs. Carvalho to encourage Gloria to eat during family meals, without blaming Gloria for having anorexia nervosa. In the second phase, the therapist would help Gloria take more control over eating. By this point, Gloria has started to gain some weight. Finally, in the third and final phase, the therapist would help Gloria develop a healthy adolescent identity.

Biological

Some genetic basis is assumed because the disorder is more prevalent in twins and relatives of those who have the disorder.

The specific genetic basis appears to be different from that found in anorexia nervosa, however.

Psychological

Anxiety, self-esteem, and sexual abuse seem to play a role. Having one’s selfworth tied to weight and body image is one aspect of the disorder.

Sociocultural

Social and cultural pressures to maintain a certain body weight or type may be a factor.

One of the first scientists to study human sexuality was Havelock Ellis. From 1897 to 1910, he published a series of volumes entitled Studies in the Psychology of Sex. Identify several ways that Ellis foreshadowed contemporary views of sexuality.

Ans: First, Ellis viewed sexual behavior and sexual variation as a natural phenomenon amenable to scientific study. He suggested that sexual variations should be examined statistically with respect to their frequency. Second, he viewed sexual variations as rooted in normal sexual behavior, making it possible to study the range of sexual behavior using a common scientific framework. Third, he believed that women have sexual desires and interests, a view more consistent with that of the contemporary era than with his own day. Finally, he believed that homosexuality was not a disorder and was most likely present at birth—again, a view similar to the prevailing view today.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Historical Perspectives Difficulty Level: Medium 2. Identify and describe, in order, each of the four stages of the human sexual response.

Ans: 1. Excitement: In the excitement phase, blood flow is increased in the genital region in both males and females. Excitement is both a physiological and a psychological state. Excitement is felt throughout the body with increased muscle tension. 2. Plateau: During this phase, most individuals pay little attention to external stimuli as the pleasurable internal experiences continue. In the male, the Cowper’s glands, which are two pea-sized glands, release a substance that changes the pH of the urethra from the acidity of urine to protect the sperm that will be released during orgasm. During the plateau phase, there is also an increase in heart rate and breathing.

Some individuals also show a flush throughout their body. 3. Orgasm: A climax in the tension that was building during the plateau phase. Muscular contractions in the male cause the sperm from the testes to be released, become part of the seminal fluid from the prostate, and be expelled. This experience lasts only a few seconds. In females, pelvic muscles also contract in a somewhat rhythmical manner, which may lead to the experience of a climax. Both men and women show muscular spasms throughout their bodies. 4. Resolution: Both males and females return to prearousal levels during the resolution phase. This includes a decrease in blood flow and muscle tension. During resolution, males, unlike females, experience a time period in which they cannot achieve another orgasm. This time period generally increases with age.

Learning Objective: 11.2: Summarize the major scientific findings about human sexual desire, arousal, and response.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Normal Sexual Functioning Difficulty Level: Easy 3. Explain how a biopsychological approach may shed light on the causes of sexual dysfunction. For each level of the approach, give two examples of factors potentially related to sexual dysfunction.

Ans: Sexual dysfunctions have medical, psychological, and social causes. Therefore, only a biopsychosocial approach yields a full understanding of these disorders. At the biological level, a number of medical disorders, such as diabetes and vascular disease, can interfere with normal sexual functioning. Also, health conditions reflecting the failure to exercise, maintain a normal weight, or limit alcohol or tobacco use can influence sexual response. Psychologically, previous experiences such as childhood abuse can negatively influence sexual behavior, as can such factors as performance anxiety and depression. At a sociocultural level, conflict in the relationship can inhibit responding, as can cultural and religious strictures.

We sometimes hear that those with pedophilic disorder are “wired that way.” Support this contention with respect to the developmental trajectory and neuroscientific basis of the disorder, as well as to the efficacy of treatment for the disorder.

Ans: In at least half the cases, the onset of pedophilic disorder occurs before adolescence, and the disorder tends to persist throughout life. Robust negative correlations are found between pedophilic arousal and amygdalic activity, on the one hand, and cortical thickness in several areas, on the other. Treatment for the disorder does not appear effective.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Pedophilic Disorder Difficulty Level: Hard 7. Distinguish between sexual masochism disorder and sexual sadism disorder. Supply what is known about the prevalence, comorbidity, and neuroscientific underpinnings of these disorders.

Ans: In sexual masochism disorder, a person derives sexual satisfaction from being humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise made to suffer; in sexual sadism disorder, by Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

contrast, a person derives satisfaction from inflicting pain or humiliation on another person. About 5% to 10% of men and women find sadistic or masochistic activities pleasurable on occasion. Sexual masochism disorder is one of the paraphilic disorders sometimes seen in women, even though it is more prevalent among men. Sexual masochism disorder may have dangerous consequences in the form of asphyxiation, in which individuals cut off their air supply to heighten the sensation of orgasm.

Neuropsychologically, pain and sex show substantial brain overlap. Sexual sadism disorder is comorbid with antisocial and borderline personality disorders, as well as with impulse control disorders.

Ans: Transvestism—Transvestism refers to dressing in the clothing of the other gender.

As an example, Mark sometimes lip-syncs popular songs “in drag” as a female at a local nightclub.

Transsexual—A transsexual is an individual who has undergone surgery to be anatomically reassigned to the other sex. For example, Caleb is a transsexual male, born a female. He has recently undergone “top surgery” so that he may appear publicly as male; he is awaiting genital surgery.

Transvestic disorder—In transvestic disorder, an individual experiences distress as a result of becoming sexually aroused by clothing associated with the other gender.

Essay 1. “Humans have always been motivated to seek altered states of consciousness.” Support this statement with reference to what is known regarding the use of psychoactive substances in prehistoric times.

Ans: People have used psychoactive substances throughout history. Early in our evolutionary history, we discovered that certain plants had reinforcing effects on the way we thought and felt.

Betel nuts have been chewed for their mild stimulant effects for at least 13,000 years. Peruvian foraging societies chewed coca leaves 8,000 years ago. Opium was used in Europe during the Neolithic, Copper, and Bronze Ages. With the shift from hunting and gathering to agricultural societies about 10,000 years ago, people quickly learned to make alcohol in all regions of the world. That psychoactive substances have been used universally throughout history suggests a basic motivation to alter consciousness.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders (Chapter Introduction) Difficulty Level: Medium 2. Distinguish among the three components of substance dependence. Illustrate each component with a concrete example.

Ans: The first component is the desire to seek and take a certain substance. For example, an individual might wish to use cocaine and therefore contact a dealer to arrange a purchase. The second component is the inability to avoid or limit the intake of the substance. For example, an individual may continue to use methamphetamine daily despite the intention to use the drug less often. The third component is the experience of negative emotional states when the substance is not available. When individuals forgo their morning coffee, they may experience a severe headache later in the day.

Learning Objective: 12.2: Describe the characteristics of substance abuse, dependence, and addiction.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Substance Abuse, Dependence, and Addiction Difficulty Level: Medium 3. Define the term withdrawal. Illustrate your definition by highlighting some of the symptoms associated with withdrawal from alcohol.

Ans: Withdrawal refers to the symptoms experienced when a psychoactive substance is no longer used. Withdrawal symptoms can also be seen when the amount of a drug is reduced, especially when this follows a long period of use. The symptoms are typically drug specific. For example: Alcohol withdrawal can produce tremors, problems with sleep, nausea or vomiting, anxiety, and autonomic nervous system overactivity, such as sweating or a high heart rate. An extreme form of alcohol withdrawal is referred to as delirium tremens (DT). After a long period of heavy drinking, withdrawal from alcohol can produce not only the normal symptoms of withdrawal but also hallucinations, confusion, and seizures.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Effects of Alcohol on the Human Body Difficulty Level: Medium 5. Distinguish among moderate, heavy, and binge drinking. Explain how light drinkers differ from heavy drinkers with respect to wanting to drink, on the one hand, and liking to drink, on the other.

Ans: Moderate drinking is operationally defined for a man as no more than four drinks on a single day and no more than 14 drinks in a week. For a woman, moderate drinking is defined as no more than three drinks in a day and no more than seven in a week. People who exceed these amounts are considered “heavy” drinkers. Binge drinking is defined as consuming enough alcohol in a 2-hour period to have a BAC of 0.08 g/dL; this is roughly equivalent to four drinks in a row for a man or three for a woman. A 2-year longitudinal study of weekly binge drinkers and light drinkers found that weekly binge drinkers wanted and liked alcohol more than the light drinkers, who liked drinking but found it less stimulating and more sedating than the heavy drinkers.

7. Addiction to methamphetamine is particularly difficult to treat. Review some of the cognitive deficits seen in methamphetamine addiction and explain how these deficits complicate efforts to treat the addiction.

Ans: Cognitive deficits in people who use methamphetamine include problems with motor activities such as skilled movements or perceptual speed. Methamphetamine use also decreases the ability to shift attention. Finally, research also suggests memory, attention, and decision-making problems. These types of problems make it difficult for individuals to objectively see their addiction as well as be able to engage in therapy requiring cognitive responses.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Amphetamines as a Medicine Difficulty Level: Medium 8. Justify the reclassification of pathological gambling as an addictive rather than an impulse control disorder in the DSM-5.

Ans: Pathological gambling was classified as an impulse control disorder in the DSM-IV. However, pathological gambling shares several hallmark features of addiction, prompting its reclassification the DSM-5. Both drug addiction and gambling show tolerance and withdrawal.

Gamblers need to increase the size of their bets to maintain the same level of excitement, just as those addicted to drugs need to increase the dosage to achieve the same effect. Gamblers can become irritable and anxious when they decrease or eliminate the activity. In addition, the disorders most often comorbid with gambling are substance use disorders. Finally, both gambling and drug addiction can lead to illegal activity to keep the activity or substance available.

Learning Objective: 12.6: Discuss gambling as an addictive disorder.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Gambling Difficulty Level: Medium 9. Give four reasons why the treatment of substance-related and addictive disorders is especially challenging.

Ans: Sample reasons include the following: (1) Drug use causes brain changes that make it difficult for drug users to see the way in which they are addicted. People who are addicted to drugs are therefore slow to realize that they need help until they experience devastating consequences.

(2) Drug use causes brain changes that make it difficult for users to focus on anything other than drug use.

(3) Many drug users have comorbid mental disorders.

(4) Relapse is a frequent element of drug users’ recovery.

Difficulty Level: Medium 4. In what way does schizophrenia represent a paradox from an evolutionary standpoint? Briefly distinguish between the evolutionary theory of schizophrenia offered

by Tim Crow and that proposed by Johnathon Burns.

Ans: People with schizophrenia have fewer children than do those without the disorder.

Over time, the disorder should have died out, but, paradoxically, it has persisted for tens of thousands of years and is found across the world with roughly the same prevalence.

Evolutionary theorists therefore believe that schizophrenia is closely related to developments in the evolution of the human brain that have been adaptive for the species. Tim Crow believes that the disorder along with developments in the brain’s ability to process language. The universal symptom of hearing voices and the prevalence of disordered speech is consistent with this view. Johnathon Burns argues that schizophrenia arose during the evolution of the complex brain connections required to support human social life.

Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

Ans: According to the neurodevelopmental hypothesis, an insult or negative event in the second trimester of pregnancy sets the stage for the incomplete development of the frontal lobe when the brain undergoes a period of reorganization during adolescence.

Potential negative events during prenatal development that might contribute to schizophrenia include maternal infection or malnutrition; Vitamin D deficiency, for example, has been implicated in the eventual development of schizophrenia. During adolescence, these prenatal risk factors may be associated with enlarged ventricles and a loss of gray matter, especially in frontal and parietal areas of the brain.

Learning Objective: 13.4: Identify genetic and environmental factors in the development of schizophrenia.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Schizophrenia and Brain Function Difficulty Level: Medium 6. Briefly review the differences between individuals with schizophrenia and those without the disorder in the brain’s (a) gray matter, (b) white matter, and (c) ventricles.

Ans: • Gray matter: Gray matter volume is reduced among individuals with schizophrenia, especially in the brain’s frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. The loss of gray matter reflects not the death of neurons but rather a reduction in neuropil, the substance between the neurons in the brain.

• White matter: White matter is also reduced among individuals with schizophrenia.

It is reduced in the four lobes of the brain but not the cerebellum or the brain stem. Reduced white matter density results in weaker connections in the brain’s networks.

• Ventricles: The ventricles are enlarged in individuals with schizophrenia, reflecting a loss in brain volume outside the ventricles. This volume loss is not a side effect of the medications prescribed to individuals with schizophrenia.

Learning Objective: 13.5: Describe the brain changes seen in individuals with schizophrenia.

Difficulty Level: Medium 7. Explain the dopamine imbalance hypothesis. Cite at least one piece of empirical evidence in support of the hypothesis. Finally, explain why the dopamine and glutamate hypotheses may be seen as complementary rather than competing proposals.

Ans: The dopamine imbalance hypothesis is the idea that dopamine neurons are overactive in schizophrenia in midbrain areas and underactive in higher cortical areas.

Supporting this hypothesis, drugs treat schizophrenia effectively to the extent that they bind to dopamine receptors in the brain. Further, stress not only increases symptoms in schizophrenia but also causes an increase in dopamine activity. Finally, creative ability in humans has been associated with a decreased density of dopamine receptors in the thalamus.

The dopamine and glutamate hypotheses may be seen as complementary because psychotic symptoms may be produced in healthy controls by providing substances that Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

9. The newest psychosocial treatments for schizophrenia aim to intervene at the disorder’s earliest stages, or even before it has developed. Briefly describe the earlyintervention and NAVIGATE treatments for schizophrenia.

Ans: Early intervention targets those who are at high risk for developing schizophrenia.

The basic approach is to help these individuals develop cognitive skills as a way to increase attention, memory, executive control, and other cognitive processes. In addition, cognitive therapy is being used to reduce the reactivity to stress seen in the period prior to the development of psychosis and to better understand their thoughts and feelings.

NAVIGATE is designed for the treatment of first episode psychosis. NAVIGATE is a multidisciplinary, team-based approach that emphasizes low-dose antipsychotic medications, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, family education and support, and vocational and educational support. The program also helps the person to engage in his or her community.

Ans: The big five are extraversion, neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. According to work from Nettle, each of these five traits may be well and/or poorly suited to the environment depending on current conditions. Most people are a mix of many if not all of these traits. Extraversion advantages: Social allies, mating success, greater exploration of the environment; Disadvantages: Risky behavior, family instability. Neuroticism advantages: Vigilance to danger, competitiveness, striving for success; Disadvantages: Stress and depression, often with profound interpersonal and health consequences. Openness advantages: Creativity, greater perceived attractiveness; Disadvantages: Unusual beliefs, greater propensity for psychosis.

Conscientiousness advantages: Attention to long-term survival benefits, patient, and detail oriented, attention to beneficial social characteristics; Disadvantages: Obsessiveness, rigidity, often misses immediate survival advantages. Agreeableness advantages: Attentiveness to the mental states of others (high empathy) and easy interpersonal relationships; Disadvantages: Often cheated or taken advantage of, failure to act in own best interest.

Briefly outline the evidence for genetic and environmental contributions to personality disorders. Identify the specific experiences that seem to underlie personality disorders.

Which personality disorder seems the MOST genetic?

Ans: Heritability estimates for the personality disorders range from about 0.40 to about Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

0.60, suggesting both genetic and environmental contributions to the disorders.

Borderline personality disorder seems to be the only one that is more genetic than environmental. Emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect are related to the later development of personality disorders. In one study (Battle et al., 2004), three quarters or more of a sample of participants with personality disorders had experienced childhood abuse or neglect.

Ans: Like people with schizophrenia, people with schizotypal personality disorder have unusual ideas and make connections between unrelated ideas or events. They also may be similarly odd, socially detached, and prone to unusual perceptual experiences.

In contrast to people with schizophrenia, however, people with schizotypal personality disorder do not demonstrate as severe a loss of gray matter in the brain. Although their thought and speech may be odd, people with schizotypal personality disorder are understandable and are not out of touch with reality, as is the case with people suffering from schizophrenia.

Ans: While psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder have often been used interchangeably, the terms differ in emphasis.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy Difficulty Level: Medium 7. Where did borderline personality disorder get its name? Explain the origins of the term.

Ans: Historically, the term borderline was used to denote individuals who were neither neurotic nor psychotic: the “border,” therefore, has been neurosis and psychosis.

Although not normally out of touch with reality, as is implied by the term psychosis, people with borderline personality disorder can experience a “break” and become disorganized in their view of self and others when they are under stress.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Borderline Personality Disorder Difficulty Level: Hard 8. Provide a brief three to four sentence character sketch of an individual with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. How does obsessive-compulsive personality differ from obsessive-compulsive disorder?

Ans: Bette is a true workaholic. She views all activities and relationships outside work as “frivolous.” Her perfectionism means that she rarely delegates tasks to her subordinates. Her perfectionism also means that she refuses to compromise quality.

Combined with her perfectionism, her rigidity with respect to deadlines means that she spends evenings and weekends working. Her work ethic means that she is successful and well-paid; however, she has trouble parting with a dollar, hoarding her money in savings and investment accounts. Interpersonally, while she is pleasant and polite, she has little sympathy or patience for people caught in difficult situations; she tends to be inflexible with respect to the morals and values she believes people should hold.

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder differs from obsessive-compulsive disorder in that the objects of control are internal rather than external. Rather than wash one’s hands or check locks, a person with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder will try to control their adherence to internal rules or standards.

Identify and distinguish among three types of psychological therapy that appear to be effective for patients with borderline personality disorder. For each type of therapy, identify its theoretical basis and therapeutic emphases in two or three sentences. Where applicable, identify the specific type of patient for whom the therapy is especially intended. Do not worry about describing the specific stages of each type of therapy.

Ans: (1) Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Based on the idea that people with borderline personality disorder have extreme emotional reactions and have trouble accepting changes. DBT aims to help people with borderline personality disorder accept their experience of the moment. DBT is a blend of behavioral science, dialectical philosophy, and Zen practice. It may be especially appropriate for suicidal patients as it is effective in reducing suicide.

(2) Dynamic deconstructive psychotherapy (DDT). DDP was developed for clients who find therapy difficult as well as for those who may also have substance abuse problems.

It is partly based on neuroscience research and is designed to help individuals with BPD develop a coherent sense of self.

Ans: One characteristic of successful aging is freedom from disability and disease.

Leaving a routine physical checkup one summer afternoon when I am 70, I am fully mobile; my physician assures me that she sees no health problems for me. High cognitive and physical functioning is another characteristic of successful aging. Earlier that morning, I completed my usual exercise routine of 10 minutes of cardio on the exercise bike and a 45-minute walk.

Cognitive Domain: Application Answer Location: Neurocognitive Disorders (Chapter Introduction) Difficulty Level: Medium 2. Review the changes a typical 20-year-old might experience across the adult lifespan with respect to the five major areas of cognition described in the textbook.

Ans: (1) Vocabulary: Generally consistent across the lifespan, some individuals experience an increase in vocabulary in their 60s. (2) Perceptual speed: The ability to quickly compare basic, usually symbolic information such as letters, numbers, and patterns declines slowly from age 30 onward. (3) Episodic memory: The ability to recall information, usually presented in the form of a story or anecdote, is generally stable until around age 60 and then gradually drops off. (4) Spatial visualization: Spatial visualization is the ability to manipulate figures in one’s mind to solve problems, such as imagining the three-dimensional form of a two-dimensional representation, using small shapes to fill in a large shape, or imagining and describing how a pattern would look on a piece of paper. Spatial visualization is best in one’s 20s through 30s, then stable from 40 through the 60s. Like most other cognitive abilities, spatial visualization begins to drop off in one’s 60s. Reasoning: Reasoning skills peak in one’s 20s and 30s and remain intact into one’s 90s.

Ans: Delirium is a short-term state of mental confusion. Like neurocognitive disorder, it often involves problems in memory and language. Delirium often involves difficulty in focusing attention. Delirium, however, is a shorter-term, fluctuating state, as opposed to the more stable, longer-term neurocognitive disorders. While delirium is rare in community samples, as are the neurocognitive disorders, delirium may be seen in a majority of general hospital and, especially, intensive care populations.

with memory. At first, Helen’s memory problems may include forgetting names, misplacing household items, and forgetting the task she was about to undertake. As the disorder progresses, Helen may experience additional, more severe cognitive symptoms. She will experience more difficulty finding words and may not be able to follow a familiar path from one location to another. She may withdraw socially and fail to undertake new tasks. Helen may begin to lose autobiographical memory and knowledge of her own life. In the later stages of the disorder, motor problems become apparent.

This includes urinary incontinence. Helen may also spend time in bed without acknowledging or speaking to other people, including family. Delusions and hallucinations are seen in some individuals.

Ans: Composition: Plaques: Beta-amyloid is the core protein; Tangles: Tau is the core protein Location: Plaques: extracellular; Tangles: within the neuron Development: Plaques: development does not follow a fixed pattern; Tangles: begin to develop in entorhinal cortex, a temporal lobe area that connects the hippocampus and the neocortex. Development progresses to the hippocampus and then to other cortical areas along anatomical connections.

Association with cognitive decline: The tangles are more strongly associated with cognitive decline than are the plaques.

Ans: Originally known as Pick’s disease, frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder is characterized by a reduction of the anterior lobes of the frontal and temporal areas. In contrast to Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder may be seen as early as the third decade of life. The disorder takes on different forms depending on the brain areas involved. Unlike Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder is marked by social and behavioral abnormalities rather than cognitive deficits.

These include a lack of social awareness, a lack of insight, indifference, inappropriate behaviors, stereotyped behaviors, aggression, and a loss of inhibition. Some of these Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

Ans: Lewy bodies are substances found in the neuron. When these Lewy bodies build up, they cause damage consistent with a neurocognitive disorder. The symptoms include changes in alertness and attention resulting in drowsiness or staring into space.

Other symptoms include visual hallucinations and Parkinson’s-like symptoms roughly 1 year after the cognitive impairment begins.

Cognitive Domain: Knowledge Answer Location: Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Lewy Body Dementia Difficulty Level: Medium 8. Highlight the beneficial effects of physical exercise not only on preventing cognitive impairment among older adults without neurocognitive disorders but also on reversing decline among those with mild neurocognitive impairment.

Ans: Exercise is thought to play an important role in aging by promoting healthy cardiovascular function. That is, exercise increases blood flow to the entire brain.

Exercise reduces disease risk and improves the molecular and cellular structures of the brain. Exercise slows cognitive declines, affecting executive function more than other cognitive processes. Exercise has also been associated with lowering the risk for both Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

Nagamatsu et al. (2013) found that both resistance (strength) training and aerobic exercise may improve memory performance among adults showing mild cognitive declines. This was especially true for spatial memory.

memory and other cognitive functions by increasing concentrations of ACH in the hippocampus. However, these effects are modest.

Parkinson’s disease: The treatment of Parkinson’s disease involves drugs that replace the lost dopamine such as L-dopa. However, dopamine replacement drugs are not always effective. A different approach for Parkinson’s disease is deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS involves placing an electrode in the areas of the brain related to movement, usually the basal ganglia. This in turn is connected to a pulse generator that is placed under the person’s skin, usually near the collarbone. The pulse generator can be programmed to stimulate the brain in a number of ways related to the individual. This treatment approach is effective for some patients but is not recommended for all patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Insanity defense only if there is a mental disorder and there is a lack of understanding of the wrongfulness of the act

Insanity defense if mental illness made individual unable to control himself or herself, even if he or she knew the act was wrong; broadened or loosened the criteria

Insanity defense if the unlawful act is a product of mental defect or illness; further broadened the criteria

Insanity defense if the individual cannot as a result of mental disorder understand the wrongfulness of the act or conform his or her behavior to the law; began tightening the criteria

Insanity defense only if as a result of mental disorder the individual is unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of the act; further tightened the criteria

Difficulties inherent in applying the criteria for the insanity defense might include the difficulty of determining whether a mental illness made it impossible for the defendant to appreciate the wrongfulness of his or her actions. Traditionally, this has been operationalized as having a psychotic disorder, but one could argue that other disorders such as bipolar disorder, PTSD, or substance use disorder might have a similar effect.

Outline the four factors that have been used for determining an individual’s decisionmaking competence when his or her ability to consent to mental health treatment is being evaluated.

Ans: The first factor is the individual’s ability to communicate a choice. This is the simplest of the requirements in that simple communication does not necessarily require understanding. The second is the ability to understand relevant information. This requirement is that the client understands what he or she is being told. This requirement was initially developed in contract law to determine if the person knew the Test Bank for Abnormal Psychology Interactive Edition 3rd Edition by William J. Ray. ISBN 9781071807255, 1071807250.

consequences of signing a contract. The third factor is the ability to appreciate the nature of the situation and its consequences. In terms of legal proceedings, this requirement emphasizes that the client understands what a trial is and what its outcomes could mean. Finally, the fourth is the ability to rationally manipulate information. That is, can the person understand and consider alternatives to the information available to him or her? This requirement seeks to determine whether the client can logically and rationally reason in terms of the information he or she has.

Outline two distinct limitations on the principle of confidentiality, using at LEAST three of these concepts in your answer: (a) Tarasoff I decision; (b) Tarasoff II decision; (c) duty to warn; (d) duty to protect; and (e) mandated reporting.

Ans: Confidentiality means that a therapist cannot discuss information revealed in a therapy session in any other context. Confidentiality corresponds to the legal principle of privileged communication. However, the principle of confidentiality is not absolute. One distinct limitation is that mental health professionals have a duty to give people who may become threatened by a client sufficient warning so that they may avert potential harm.

This is the Tarasoff I decision. Depending on the state, the decision may be interpreted to specify a duty to protect, or both a duty to protect and a duty to warn. Another limitation is represented by mandated reporting, in which therapists must report instances of child abuse or neglect that they may learn about during sessions with clients.

Cognitive Domain: Analysis Answer Location: Sexual Predator Laws Difficulty Level: Hard 7. Describe two ways in which neuroscience research has been used to influence legal decisions and, therefore, the law.

Ans: Neuroscience research shows that the adolescent brain is different from that of an adult; thus, adolescents should be held responsible for their actions to a different degree than should adults. As a result, adolescents cannot receive the sentences of life without parole or the death penalty. Second, neuroscience research shows that memory is not like a video recording, and it can be influenced by a number of factors. For example, individuals of a different race may be harder to identify than a person of your own race. Also, use of drugs and alcohol can influence memory recall. As a result, jurors are instructed to account for these factors when weighing evidence.
