Answer: Answers will vary but should contain information from the following sections of Chapter 1 for full credit. Much of common sense is demonstrably incorrect. We often believe contradictory ideas with equal strength in their accuracy (which leads to commonsense proverbs being unfalsifiable). Naive realism and logical fallacies mentioned in text are used to buttress claims of the accuracy of common sense (appeals to authority, argument from antiquity fallacy, bandwagon fallacy).

2. Analyze how the signs of pseudoscience are often examples of violations of the principles of critical thinking. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain examples similar to the following information for full credit. Overuse/use of ad hoc immunizing hypotheses violates the principle of falsifiability because it involves giving after-the-fact explanations that describe the negative findings of the research. Overreliance on anecdotes may also violate the spirit of falsifiability because anecdotes are difficult at best, impossible at worst, to verify. Overreliance on anecdotes violates the principle of correlation versus causation. People assume that the world operates in the way they have observed, but just having an example of something does not mean that one has established a cause-and-effect relationship. Anecdotal evidence is also inadequate for discussing the representative nature of one outcome to other individuals. A lack of self-correction is very problematic for pseudoscience, as your authors note, “wrong claims never seem to go away.” This is because of a concept called belief perseverance, which reminds us that people tend to cling with an iron grasp to their own positions and beliefs, even when they are presented with evidence that those positions are errant. In a true science selfcorrection is essential. Absence of connectivity to other research suggests that a singular finding has been used to support a given position, and this is not a scientific position from which to examine the world.

Answer: Answers may vary but a full credit answer will contain the following points. Needs to discuss the ideas of falsifiability, replication, and a process of ruling out alternate hypotheses when examining the findings of one’s research. Because our work will be publicly verified by others (peer review), we are required to ask questions in a manner that allows them to be shown to be supported or refuted (falsifiability). Critical thinking principles provide the tools to choose between theories: parsimony, kind of evidence necessary to modify what is currently known (extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence), replicability is needed to help ensure the accuracy of initial findings, and the questions should be structured so that rival explanations are eliminated via research. Must understand that demonstrating a relationship (correlation) isn’t the same as demonstrating causation.

Answer: Answers will vary but should include any three of the following for full credit. Behaviorists are concerned with studying observable behavior that contains no subjectivity on the part of the individual reporting the data or recording the data. Both structuralism and psychoanalysis would include unobservable information that would be subjective rather than objective. Behaviorists were more concerned with the external, or observable, world. Psychoanalysis and structuralism focused on issues internal to the individual. Behaviorists focused more on the importance of research and the use of the scientific method than did psychoanalysts. Behaviorists focused more on the importance of the conscious level of the mind while psychoanalysts were most interested in studying the unconscious level.

Most psychologists agree that both genes and our social environment play critical roles in our behavior. However, research continues to explore when the two will interact together and when one is more important than the other for specific behaviors. Many psychologists believe that human behavior is largely deterministic and that we are unaware of so many of the influences on our behavior that we mistakenly believe we are free actors.

Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following information for full credit. Many key influences are often overlooked by people, or their importance is discounted. Because of the previous factor, many people often come to view their behavior as intentional and self-directed when it is really not. The idea that we are not actively aware of all of the factors that contribute to our decisions and/or actions prompted some to describe free will as an illusion. Also, much of human behavior is the result of automatic responses. Despite this fact, we continue to believe that we control our destiny and can influence real-life circumstances even when we cannot. We then come up with after the fact explanations that sound reasonable to us, despite the fact that they are completely erroneous explanations for our behavior.

4. Explain how the principles of critical thinking can assist a person in making more informed and, hopefully, more accurate decisions in one’s day life. Do you think these principles are actually necessary, or are they just a means to be too critical of research? Answer: Answers will vary but should include at least four of the following ideas for full credit. The principle of falsifiability helps to inform us of the kinds of questions that we can ask and actually find a scientific answer. The principle of parsimony reminds us to focus on the simplest explanation with the fewest assumptions as being the best. The principles of replicability and extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence address the ability to verify other people’s claims (we need concurrence from independent sources) and that this is especially true when our claims contradict what is “known.” Extraordinary claims also require stronger evidence because they are asking us to put aside our current beliefs in favor of a new theory that explains both the known and the new information we have gathered. We need to have gathered the evidence in such a way that our explanation/understanding is the only possible rational reason for the data (ruling out rival hypotheses). We must remember that just because two things are related doesn’t mean that one caused the other (third variable explains each and the relationship we observe comes from that).

Chapter 2: Research Methods Test Bank Multiple Choice 1. Your textbook discusses the issue of facilitated communication and its applicability to assisting children with autism spectrum disorder. One possibility for the early research results was that the children were communicating through the adults who were assisting them. As the text notes, another explanation for the miraculous findings was that the “facilitators” were simply guiding the hands of the children to communicate things that their parents would want to hear. This alternate explanation is consistent with the concept of __________. A) replicability Incorrect. Though replication of early findings was a problem for the issue of facilitated communication, it is not the answer to this particular question. B) ruling out rival hypotheses Correct. Before we accept a given explanation as accurate, we have to ask whether there are other feasible explanations that can better account for a given phenomenon. C) falsifiability D) correlation vs. causation Answer: B Diff: 2 Skill: Conceptual APA LO: 2.1 TEXT LO: Introduction Topic: Introduction 2. What is one take home message from the discussion of autism and facilitated communication? A) Children with autism spectrum disorder want to communicate with their parents but need someone to facilitate the process. B) In almost all cases researched, the data failed to support the idea that facilitated communication was truly effective. Correct. Your authors note that in nearly 100% of cases tested, the picture flashed to the facilitator was the word typed. C) Psychological research is dangerous because it allows anyone to find support for any idea or opinion. Incorrect. While this may be true in some cases, this is not the prevailing message that the authors are trying to convey.

3. Contradicting years of theory and practice, Douglas Biklen claimed that children with autism spectrum disorder could, in fact, communicate with the aid of a “facilitator.” With his help, these children gave messages of love and warmth to their parents, many of whom had been without such affection since their children were born. When the evidence of this “facilitated communication” is examined, which principle of critical thinking from your chapter is not supported? A) Occam’s Razor B) correlation vs. causation C) falsifiability Incorrect. In this case, the claims were falsifiable as demonstrated by ongoing research. D) extraordinary claims Correct. The extraordinary claims that children with autism spectrum disordercould suddenly be given an avenue to communicate effectively was belied by the research evidence, which showed facilitated communication to be without validity of any kind. Answer: D Diff: 2 Skill: Conceptual APA LO: 2.1 TEXT LO: Introduction Topic: Introduction 4.

Essay 1. Why is it necessary for psychologists to have so many different research designs to study human behavior? Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following points for full credit. ● Each research design has its own important limitations. Students should identify at least two examples from two different designs to earn full credit. ● The goals of research differ (some focus on description, others on predictions, and others on establishing causation). ● If different methods produce similar results, this increases our confidence in our understanding of a particular phenomenon (idea of convergence).

Explain why no single measure of central tendency and measure of dispersion exists that a researcher can use every single time. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following information for full credit. ● Sometimes one measure is more appropriate than another. For example, the mean is distorted by the presence of outliers in a skewed distribution, so a researcher would be advised to report the median instead. ● It depends what information a researcher wants to highlight. For example, if a researcher wants to identify what was the most frequently endorsed option for a question, he or she would choose the mode. If he or she wants to report about how the scores were represented over all the possible answers, he or she would report the mean. ● Some people may wish to know the typical difference between scores and thus choose standard deviation, while others would look at the amount of difference from the most extreme scores and choose the range. ● A researcher cannot just report central tendency or dispersion because they each only tell part of the whole, either where scores are located (central tendency) or how much difference between scores is present (dispersion).

Essay 1. Discuss the lobes of the cerebral cortex, including their roles. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. The cerebral cortex contains four lobes, each associated with somewhat different functions. The frontal lobe lies in the forward part of the brain. The frontal lobe is responsible for motor function, language, and memory, as well as the job of overseeing most other mental functions, which we call executive function. The brain’s executive function provides a kind of top-level governance over simpler cognitive functions. In most brains a deep groove, called the central sulcus, separates the frontal lobe from the rest of the cerebral cortex. The motor cortex lies next to the central sulcus. Each part of the motor cortex controls a specific part of the body. In front of the motor cortex lies a large expanse of the frontal lobe called the prefrontal cortex. One region of the prefrontal cortex, Broca’s area, plays a key role in language production. People with damage to Broca’s area exhibit a speech deficit characterized by difficulties in speaking smoothly and an inability to find certain words. The prefrontal cortex serves additional functions, including memory, abstract thinking, and decision making. The prefrontal cortex also contributes to mood, personality, and self-awareness. The parietal lobe lies behind the frontal lobe. The part of the parietal lobe that lies next to the motor cortex is the primary sensory cortex, devoted to touch. It’s sensitive to pressure, temperature, and pain. The parietal lobe plays roles in many kinds of perception. Spatial perception, which is the placement of objects in space, is most frequently associated with the upper part of the parietal lobe. Other parietal lobe functions include the perception of object shape and orientation, the perception of actions of others, and the representation of numbers. The parietal lobe integrates visual and touch inputs with motor outputs every time we reach, grasp, and move our eyes. The temporal lobe is the site of hearing, understanding language, and storing autobiographical memories. This lobe is separated from the rest of the cerebral cortex by the lateral fissure. The top of the temporal lobe contains the auditory cortex, the part of the cerebral cortex devoted to hearing. We call the language area in the temporal lobe Wernicke’s area. Damage to Wernicke’s area leads to difficulties with understanding speech. The lower part of the temporal lobe contains circuitry critical to storing memories of past autobiographical events. At the very back of the brain lies the occipital lobe, containing the visual cortex, dedicated to vision. As human beings, we are highly dependent on our visual systems, so we have a lot of visual cortex.

2. You are walking in the woods when suddenly you see a dangerous-looking snake in your path. Upon closer examination, you realize it is harmless. Explain the physiological reactions that occurred during this process. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. The sympathetic nervous system mobilized the fight-or-flight response. Since you encountered a threat, the sympathetic nervous system became aroused and prepared you for fighting or fleeing. Sympathetic activation triggers the flight-or-fight response, a variety of physical responses including increased heart rate, respiration, and perspiration. Autonomic nerves that reach the heart, diaphragm, and sweat glands control these actions. After it was determined that a threat no longer existed, the parasympathetic nervous system kicked in and reverse the physical responses. We started to calm down and things eventually returned to normal.

3. Discus the various types of neuroimaging techniques, including any strengths or weakness in each type. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Researchers developed imaging methods to meet clinical and research needs unmet by other techniques. Each imaging method offered some advantage over previous methods. As a group, these imaging methods enable us to peer inside the brain or body. The CT scan is a three-dimensional reconstruction of many X-rays taken though a part of the body, such as the brain. It shows much more detail than an individual X-ray. The MRI measures the release of energy from water in biological tissues following exposure to a uniform magnetic field. MRI images are superior to CT scans for detecting soft tissue, such as those in the brain. A brain tumor shows up particularly well on an MRI image because a tumor consists of soft tissue. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique, meaning that it measures changes in the brain’s activity levels. PET is an invasive tool that requires the injection of glucose-like molecules attached to radiotracers into the patient. Because PET is invasive, researchers later looked for functional imaging methods that wouldn’t require injections of radiotracers. The fMRI measures the change in blood oxygen level and acts as an indirect correlate of neural activity. The fMRI relies on magnetic fields, as does MRI. Whereas MRI has a high resolution, fMRI operates at a low resolution so that researchers can snap many scans in rapid succession. Individual fMRI images aren’t very sharp, but the method shows changes in brain activity level over time because it creates a series of images. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses strong and rapidly changing magnetic fields to induce electric fields in the brain. Depending on the level of stimulation, TMS can either enhance or interrupt brain function. Some reports suggest that TMS provides relief for depression and may decrease auditory hallucinations. Whereas TMS applies magnetic fields to the brain, magnetoencephalography (MEG) measures tiny magnetic fields, and in this way detects electrical activity in the brain and in the rest of the nervous system. The resulting images produced by MEG reveal patterns of magnetic fields on the surface of the skull. MEG has good spatial resolution and excellent temporal resolution that measure activity changes millisecond by millisecond, whereas PET and fMRI scans measure activity changes second by second.

4. Discuss the popular notion that people are either left-brained or right-brained. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Despite the great scientific contribution of split-brain studies, the notion that normal people are either “left-brained” or “right-brained” is a myth. According to this myth, leftbrained people are scholarly, logical, and analytical, and right-brained people are artistic, creative, and emotional. One Internet blogger tried to explain the differences between people’s political ideologies in terms of the left-right brain distinction; conservatives, he claimed, tend to be left-brained and liberals tend to be right-brained. Yet these claims are vast oversimplifications. After reviewing numerous studies, one researcher concluded that we use both sides of our brains in a complementary way. Furthermore, the corpus callosum and other interconnections ensure that both hemispheres are in constant communication. If the right-brained versus left-brained myth were accurate, then people who were artistic would be unlikely to be verbally gifted. In reality, there are scores of multitalented people. Consider actors who are also screenwriters. We can trace the myth of exaggerated rightbrain versus left-brain differences to misinterpretations of what scientists reported. Selfhelp books incorporating the topic flourished. Robert E. Ornstein was among those to promote the idea of using different ways to tap into our creative rights brain versus our intellectual left brains in his 1997 book The Right Mind: Making Sense of the Hemispheres. Right brain-oriented educational programs for children sprang up that deemphasized getting the correct answers on tests in favor of developing creative ability. For a mere $195, “whole brain learning” supposedly expanded the mind in new ways using “mega subliminal messages,” heard only by the right or the left brain. Although there’s nothing wrong with trying to be more creative by using our minds in different ways, using both hemispheres in tandem works far better.

5. Discuss the various techniques used to study heritability. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Behavior genetic designs also allow us to estimate the heritability of traits and diseases. By heritability, we mean the extent to which genes contribute to differences in a trait among individuals. Some traits, like height, are highly heritable. In contrast, other traits, like the accent in our speech, are due almost entirely to environment. That’s because our accents are almost entirely a product of the dialect spoken in the community in which we’re raised. Heritability isn’t as simple a concept as it seems, and it confuses even some psychologists. The first misconception is that heritability applies to a single individual rather than differences among individuals. That’s because heritability is a statistic that applies only to groups of people. Heritability tells us about the causes of differences among people, not within a person. A second misconception is that heritability tells us whether a trait can be changed. Many laypeople believe that if a trait is highly heritable, then by definition we can’t change it. Yet, logically speaking, heritability says little or nothing about how malleable or alterable a trait is. In fact, a trait can in principle have a heritability of 100 percent, yet still be extremely malleable. Scientists estimate heritability by means of one of three behavioral genetic designs: family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies. In such studies, scientists note the presence or absence of a behavioral trait or a psychological disorder among different relatives. These studies determine how much genetics contributes to the expression of that trait or disorder. In a family study, researchers examine the extent to which a trait “runs” or goes together in intact families, those in which all family members are raised in the same home. We can study correlations in a trait between two types of twins. Consequently, if identical twins are more alike on a psychological characteristic, such as intelligence or extraversion, than are fraternal twins, we can infer that this characteristic is genetically influenced. Nevertheless, twin studies hinge on the “equal environments assumption”—the assumption that the environmental influences on the characteristic we’re studying are the same on identical as on fraternal twins. Adoption studies examine the extent to which children adopted into new homes resemble their adoptive, as opposed to biological, parents. Children adopted into other homes are genetically similar to their biological relatives, but they don’t share the same environment with their biological relatives. As a consequence, if adopted children resemble their biological parents on a psychological characteristic, we can typically assume that it’s genetically influenced.

Critical Thinking 1. Will people paralyzed from spinal cord injury walk again someday? How does the use of stem cell research influence this important topic? Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Stem cells provide at least two novel ways of treating neurodegenerative disease. First, researchers can implant stem cells directly into the host’s nervous system and induce them to grow and replace damaged cells. Second, researchers can genetically engineer stem cells so that the cells can administer gene therapy; in other words, provide the patient with replacement genes. There’s yet another way that researchers may be able to get around the problems associated with lack of regeneration following injury and neural degeneration. Neurogenesis is the creation of new cells in the adult brain. Neurogenesis is exciting because it opens up new possibilities. Another role might be recovery following brain injury. By manipulating neurogenesis, the adult nervous system might be coaxed into better healing itself.

2. With all the different methods for studying the brain, how does one decide which one to use? Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. There are many different methods for studying the brain. The method one uses is often determined by factors such as the invasiveness of the procedure or the purpose of the study. For example, because it’s noninvasive, researchers frequently use EEG in both animal and human experiments. Even though the EEG is an old method, researchers still use it to study brain activity in normal brains and in brains of individuals afflicted with schizophrenia, epilepsy, and other psychiatric and neurological disorders. But EEGs have a few disadvantages. Because they show averaged activity that reaches the surface of the scalp, they tell us little, if anything, about what’s happening inside neurons. Furthermore, EEGs have low spatial resolution, meaning that they aren’t especially good for determining where in the brain the action is occurring. Although electrical recording and stimulation provided the initial probes to map mind functions onto brain areas, a virtual explosion of brain research occurred with the advent of brain scans or what we call neuroimaging. Researchers developed imaging methods to meet clinical and research needs unmet by other techniques. Each imaging method offered some advantage over previous methods. As a group, these imaging methods enable us to peer inside the brain or body. The CT scan shows much more detail than an individual X-ray. The MRI shows structural detail using a totally different principle. The MRI scanner measures the release of energy from water in biological tissues following exposure to a uniform magnetic field. MRI images are superior to CT scans for detecting soft tissues, such as those in the brain. A brain tumor shows up particularly well on an MRI image because a tumor consists of soft tissue. Neuroscientists interested in thinking and emotion typically don’t use CT or MRI scans, except to localize brain damage. Instead, they typically use the functional imaging techniques. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique, which means that it measures changes in the brain’s activity levels. PET relies on the fact that neurons, like other cells in the body, increase their uptake of glucose when they’re active. PET is an invasive tool that requires the injection of glucose-like molecules attached to radiotracers into the patient. Radiotracers are radioactive, but because they’re short-lived, they do little or no harm. The scanner measures where in the brain the most glucose-like molecules are taken up, allowing neuroscientists to figure out which parts of the brain are most active during a psychological task. Clinicians use PET scans to see where brain activity increases when patients, such as those with Parkinson’s disease, take a medication. Because PET is invasive, researchers later looked for functional imaging methods that wouldn’t require injections of radiotracers. In 1990, researchers discovered that as neural activity quickens, there’s an increase in oxygenated blood in response to heightened demand by neurons. Like athletes who require more fluids as they exert themselves, brain cells require more oxygen to do their work when busy. The discovery of this response enabled the development of the functional MRI (fMRI). Because fMRI measures the change in blood oxygen level, it’s an indirect indicator of neural activity. Neuroscientists frequently use fMRI to image brain activity in response to specific tasks, like looking at emotions in faces or solving math problems. The fMRI relies on magnetic fields, as does MRI. fMRI’s strength, especially compared with PET, is its ability to provide detailed images of activity in small brain regions and over brief time intervals. But in contrast to PET and some other imaging techniques, fMRI is extremely sensitive to motion, so researchers often have to toss out fMRI data if participants move too much.

Topic: Perception: When Our Senses Meet Our Brains Essay 1. How might a proponent of ESP use signal detection theory to explain the experimenter effect that interferes with demonstrating that ESP exists? Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following information for full credit. Proponents of extrasensory perception sometimes claim that having experimenters who are skeptical or doubtful leads to negative results. What they might claim, based on the information from signal detection theory, is that this negative skepticism increases the noise that is present in the environment and thereby making it more difficult for the clairvoyant (or telepath or precog) to detect the ESP signal. This difficulty occurs because the “noise” will mask the ESP signal and cause it to be missed. Ultimately, however, this use of signal detection theory will also create a rival hypothesis and one that provides a simpler, more parsimonious explanation for supposed ESP (better detection of signals by reduced environmental noise rather than sensory abilities that operate outside normal processes).

2. Discuss why selective attention is sometimes beneficial, and sometimes detrimental. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following ideas for full credit. Selective attention is helpful in that it minimizes the amount of information that we have to deal with from our environment by focusing on the most important or relevant bits rather than sifting through all possible information. However, this selective attention can come at a price. We may fail to see the “elephant/gorilla in the room” if we are too consumed with a particular task. This means that important later information may be missed because we have turned up a particular “channel” for information and aren’t watching another important “channel” at all. This is related to the concept of inattentional blindness. An additional issue, change blindness, may cause one to fail to notice subtle or even obvious changes in their surroundings. Under various conditions this sort of lack of attention to detail could potentially be disastrous. Instructors may wish to consider altering this question to require examples of different concepts.

Describe the general process of how light enters the eye and is transmitted to the brain to be perceived. Answer: Answers will vary but should mention each of the following structures and the role they play in visual perception: cornea, lens, iris, pupil, retina, fovea, and optic nerve. The light enters through the cornea, which is the outermost covering of the eye. It passes through the pupil, whose size is determined by the iris. The light is then refracted by the lens and focused on the tissue at the back of the eye. The lens will change its shape, or accommodate, to focus either on a distant or nearby object as is needed. The light is focused at the back of the eye by the fovea, which is the center of the retina, the visual sensory receptor location at the back of the eye. The retina is responsible for changing the energy into neural activity that can be transmitted via the optic nerve to the thalamus, and eventually the visual cortex, where the process of visual perception begins. Some of the neural activity is transmitted directly to the midbrain, where it is processed, rather than through the thalamus route to the visual cortex.

Answer: Answers will vary but should include the following information for full credit. Smell and taste are chemical senses that work in tandem. Our sense of taste is impacted by our ability to detect odors from the food we are eating. There are only either five or six basic taste sensations, while there are thousands of different odors that humans are able to detect. This ability to detect various odors from food biases our interpretation of our eating experiences. When our nasal passages are blocked and odors are kept from reaching the sensory receptors and thus the brain where they are interpreted, we are only receiving the information from our taste buds. However, when our nasal passages are open, we get additional information that helps us to make the distinction between different foods.

Critical Thinking 1. What is the danger of lacking the ability to sense pain? Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the ideas listed below to earn full credit. Pain is a slower-moving stimulus that indicates the need to take care of a part of the body. For example, pulling a muscle would indicate the need to stop an activity and to allow proper rest and recuperation before engaging in the activity again. Pain also often leads the body to naturally try to release endorphins to numb the pain and to help begin the healing process. The inability to detect pain would lead one to continue to do further harm to the body because there wouldn’t be the internal messages that something is wrong. In the absence of any external messages, such as the presence of blood, or seeing that something is pointing in a direction that isn’t “correct,” the person may continue to do further damage that could ultimately lead to death.

Answer: Answers will vary but should include the general points mentioned below for full credit. Falsifiability: Research theory can be shown to be incorrect (as well as correct). The student needs to explain why this is often/sometimes lacking with ESP claims. Also a student should describe why a theory that is not falsifiable is meaningless in the realm of science. Replicability: Research results need to be verified or repeated by others. In science, it is paramount that other investigators using the same procedures but working in different places with different participants can repeat the same pattern of findings as the original researchers.

Describe the typical night’s sleep cycle, including the defining characteristics of each stage of sleep. Answer: Answers will vary but should include the following information for full credit. The human sleep cycle lasts approximately 90 minutes and is repeated several times over the course of eight to nine hours of sleep. This cycle is comprised of two different types of sleep: non-REM and REM sleep. The non-REM sleep comprises four different stages. In stage 1 sleep, the person is transitioning from wakefulness to sleep. This stage of sleep is quite brief, marked by the presence of theta waves, and sees brain activity decline by up to 50 percent. The majority of our sleep is spent in stage 2 sleep, which is marked by a continued slowing of brain wave activity that lasts between 10–30 minutes each time we pass through it. Every so often a person may experience sudden, quick, intense bursts of activity known as sleep spindles. Our brain activity decelerates, our heart rate slows, our body temperature drops, and our muscles relax further. Stages 3 and 4 are marked by deep, slow-wave sleep (delta waves). Stage 3 is denoted by delta waves occupying 20–50 percent of the brain activity, and stage 4 sleep is denoted by more than 50 percent delta waves. This type of sleep helps us to feel fully rested the next morning. REM sleep is characterized by high-frequency brain wave activity and the movement of our eyes under our eyelids. This stage is also characterized by increased heart rate and blood pressure levels and rapid, irregular breathing. Dreaming occurs more often during this sleep stage than any other. The initial REM sleep stage lasts between 10 and 20 minutes but each subsequent REM sleep stage increases in length.

2. Compare and contrast Freud’s wish fulfillment theory of dreaming with Hobson and McCarley’s activation–synthesis theory of dreaming. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following information for full credit. The one area of agreement between the two theories is that they both say that dreams are a real phenomena that occur as we sleep. The two perspectives differ in terms of a) general explanation for why we dream, b) the function of dreams, and c) the meaning of the content of dreams. Freud’s wish fulfillment approach is a largely psychological approach to why we dream. The psychological function of dreams is to protect the dreamer from his or her more inappropriate or socially unacceptable urges and desires. The ego protects sleep by using manifest content to cover the unacceptable id impulses that comprise the latent content and provide the ultimate meaning of one’s dreams. Hobson and McCarley’s activation–synthesis approach is a largely biological approach to why we dream. Dreams simply represent the brain activation that is occurring as we sleep and develop through the forebrain’s efforts to provide coherence and understanding of these random, internally generated signals during REM sleep. The content of the dreams therefore is less meaningful and, in fact, only involves meaning because the brain tries to impart that meaning, not knowing that there is no need to understand this internal activity.

Discuss how several of the principles of critical thinking apply to a discussion of altered states of consciousness such as out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, or hypnosis. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain discussion of at least three of the principles of critical thinking and how they apply to these alterations of consciousness. The examples could be either based on material from the text or a student’s own original example. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence: This principle requires that claims that differ greatly from what is accepted about human consciousness require greater evidence for such claims to be accepted. Occam’s Razor/parsimony: This principle says that we choose the explanation that makes the fewest assumptions. Replicability: This implies that others are able to take the basic elements of our research and produce similar results with different people. If positive results cannot be verified by others, scientists come to doubt the existence of the particular phenomenon. Ruling out rival hypotheses: This principle requires that the data are not open to more than one particular interpretation.

The authors mention the importance of mental sets, that is, one’s beliefs and expectations, as an important influence on their behavior after taking that drug. The authors mentioned the importance of culturally learned expectancies that are most influential at low alcohol dose levels. People “act” as if they are more inebriated than they really, physiologically speaking, are. The authors also mentioned that marijuana users have to “learn” what it is to be high rather than automatically experiencing a high the first time they smoke it.

2. Discuss how the neurocognitive perspective on dreaming differs from the dream protection and activation–synthesis theories of dreaming. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following information for full credit. The neurocognitive perspective argues that one’s information-processing abilities influence the content of one’s dreams. The neurocognitive perspective argues that the information contained in one’s dreams represents the concerns of one’s daily life—such as issues in relationships, school, or at work—rather than the deep, dark secrets and symbolic imagery that Freud said were housed within our unconscious mind and occupied the content of our nightly dreams. The neurocognitive perspective, unlike activation–synthesis theory, does assert that these dreams are somewhat psychologically meaningful to people, because a person is ruminating over a lost phone number or concert ticket rather than just experiencing random content within the dream. The activation–synthesis theory, by contrast, suggests that the content of dreams is more random and any meaning is created by the forebrain in its attempt to bring coherence to one’s internal world, much like it brings coherence to our external and internal worlds during waking consciousness. Diff: 2 Skill: Conceptual APA LO: 1.2 TEXT LO: 5.2a Describe Freud’s theory of dreams.; 5.2b Explain three major modern theories of dreaming. Topic: Dreams 3. Why are many psychologists skeptical of claims that hypnosis represents a true altered state of consciousness? Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following information for full credit. One key point of contention is that the ability to experience hypnosis is related to one’s receptivity to suggestibility. Therefore, unlike dreams, it is a state of consciousness that only some people, not all, will experience. A second key point is the fact that much of what occurs during the hypnotic state involves one responding to cues from the hypnotist. For many, this seems to support the idea of role-playing rather than altered consciousness. Also, there is no unique brain state identified with being hypnotized as one might expect if it were, in fact, different from normal consciousness. Last, the idea of a hidden observer may serve as an additional cue to the person about how to act rather than represent a true, unique state of consciousness. Some have suggested that the “hidden observer” model actually represents suggestions that are made directly or indirectly by the hypnotist.

Topic: Operant Conditioning 5. Provide information in support of an argument that there is a biological basis for observational learning. Answer: Answers will vary but should focus on the existence and activity of mirror neurons. Research has found that there is a group of neurons in the prefrontal cortex, near the motor cortex, that show greater activity when monkeys watch other monkeys engage in an action. These are called mirror neurons, and they do not activate in the same way when non-active events are observed. Therefore, there is something related to watching others engage in actions that activate parts of the observers brains. This mirror neuron system, or at least a similar one, has also been identified in human beings using neuroimaging techniques. The exact nature of what those neurons do in humans has yet to be uncovered, but the presence of such systems in higher animals and possibly human beings suggests a biological component to learning by observation.

Suppose a student uses inappropriate language in class. Describe how you would attempt to change this student’s behavior using positive or negative reinforcement. Answer: The student can be praised, offered points, or given privileges if he or she does not use inappropriate language or if there is a decrease in the use of inappropriate language (positive reinforcement). The student could be given an exemption from undesirable tasks if his or her language decreases. For example, homework passes or classroom chores can be removed if the student’s language improves (negative reinforcement).

2. Describe the similarities and differences between operant conditioning theory and classical conditioning theory. Answer: Similarities: Both types of learning involve a relationship between behaviors (responses) and stimuli. Both types of learning address the concepts of acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination. Both types of learning involve, to various degrees, the will of the actor (that is to say, we are not simply programmable robots who are governed by pure stimulus-response relationships). Both forms of learning can be used to alter behaviors and can be used to (partially) explain the development of different types of psychological disorder (e.g., phobias, anxiety disorders, etc.). Differences: Classical conditioning shows a stimulus-response relationship, while operant conditioning involves a response-stimulus relationship. Different types of learning may invoke activity in different areas of the brain. Classical conditioning largely focuses on the spreading of reflexive behavior while operant conditioning focuses on voluntary (volitional) behavior. Commonalities: It does appear that both processes can be used in concert with each other to cause and sustain certain psychological events. The two-process model used to explain phobias involves both classical and operant conditioning.

Essay 1. Discuss how our memories both serve us well and lead to memory errors. Answer: Answers will vary. A full credit answer should address at least one of the points from each section of the answer suggested here. Memories can serve us well in different ways. o When asking people to recognize whether they have seen a particular object previously, or presenting information in a multiple-choice format, many people are able to show strikingly good recall of information (above 90% accuracy). o There are certain persons who have naturally gifted memory abilities. For some, this allows them to remember quite clearly many of the events that have occurred throughout their lives. For others, it means that they are able to encode and retrieve large amounts of information from several specific domains (like Rajan’s ability to recall long lists of digits from the number pi). Human memory, however, is far from perfect. o Rather than functioning like an uncorrupted computer file or videotape of the event, our memories are reconstructions, rather than representations, of the past. These reconstructions can be influenced by suggestions from authority figures, such as therapists or the police, and lead to the implanting of false memories. o Our normal adaptive memory processes lead us to remember seeing or hearing things that were not presented (i.e., remembering the word sleep after reading a list of words that were all related to the word sleep but did not actually contain it). This reconstruction can also occur because we fail to encode certain information and then fill in the gaps in our memories with our best guesses about what occurred. This can lead to errors in memory due to misattribution, bias, as well as transience and absentmindedness, blocking, and persistence.

2. Discuss the three important ways in which the short-term and long-term memory systems differ. Answer: Answers will vary but need to include the three distinctions noted in the answer below. Short-term and long-term memory processes differ in terms of storage capacity, duration, and in the types of memory errors that occur. Short-term memory seems to be limited to a storage capacity of approximately five to nine chunks of information, although some researchers have suggested an even more limited capacity (more chunking may be occurring than researchers can either assess or simply realize). Long-term memory, by contrast, has a seemingly unending storage capacity. Short-term memories vanish after approximately 20 seconds while long-term memories endure for days, months, years, and even the rest of our lives. As long as we have appropriate retrieval cues, we may be able to access information from our long-term memory. Short-term memory errors seem to be based on acoustic information rather than the semantic information that accompanies long-term memory errors. While short-term memory errors are likely to involve mistaking what word we’ve heard (e.g., a heavily accented statement of lake is heard as like by someone unfamiliar with the dialect), longterm memory errors occur regarding the meaning of the information. For example, a witness to an automobile accident misremembers a car driving through a yellow light and hitting another car as the offending driver running through a red light. Diff: 2 Skill: Factual APA LO: 1.1 TEXT LO: 7.1b Explain the function, span, and duration of each of the three memory systems. Topic: How Memory Operates: The Memory Assembly Line 3. Describe and differentiate by duration and capacity the various systems of memory. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain many of the following points. Most psychologists believe that there are at least three separate systems of memory: sensory, short-term, and long-term memory. These systems differ in both span (amount of information that may be held) and duration (how long the information may be retained). Sensory memory is the initial memory system. Information from any of the five senses is briefly retained here and then either moves on to the next system or the information is “lost.” Even though research by Sperling suggests that all information is available to use, our limited attention only allows us to be able to recall a few items of all possible items through sensory memory. For example, a student can only recall a few items of what a professor is saying during class lecture as he or she is writing down information in his or her notes. The information that moves on is said to be in short-term, or working, memory. This system of memory can hold between 5 and 9 “pieces” of information at any single time and can keep this information for about 15 to 20 seconds. These pieces of information may either be individual pieces of information or may be “chunked” together (e.g., remembering Freud’s three structures of personality—the id, ego, and superego—as a single chunk because they are interrelated. Or remembering the three types of memory systems as a “chunk” of memory systems—sensory, short-term, and long-term). The information may be lost here as well, through processes such as decay or interference, or moved on to the next system via either elaborative or maintenance rehearsal. The third, and final, system is known as long-term memory. This system is thought to be quite large and the information can remain here for years or decades. The information in memory is stored here until accessed through retrieval cues or priming.

4. Describe how the three methods of measuring memory differ and provide an example of each. Answer: Answers will vary. A full credit answer will provide information that distinguishes each method from the others and also includes an example to demonstrate the student’s understanding of the difference. Recall is sometimes referred to as the most difficult method of measuring memory because the individual has to generate the information on his or her own with little or no external information. The authors refer to recall as being similar to an essay question. There are the retrieval cues the student interprets from the question, but the information in the student’s answer is entirely generated from his/her knowledge of the subject that is retrieved from their long-term memory. Recognition involves choosing or selecting the previously stored information from an array of options (one is, or some are, correct and the remaining items are incorrect). This type of method gives the person more cues to work from. They have the cues in the item or question itself and then the cues from the options listed. This type of assessment method is like a multiple-choice question. The question is posed, and thus may provide a retrieval cue, or several retrieval cues, and then the person looks over all of the options listed and makes his or her choice. Relearning involves measuring memory by seeing how quickly a person can again learn information or a procedure to which they have had previous exposure (e.g., relearning the names of all 50 U.S. state capitals or correct basketball shooting technique). Relearning is considered a more sensitive measure of memory than the other two methods because we don’t just make a correct/incorrect judgment (or right/wrong judgment), but rather we make a relative judgment (how much faster or quicker the information was correctly recalled or the procedure correctly performed this time versus the first time). This type of memory measurement also allows us to access information for not only explicit memory (semantic memory or episodic memory) but also implicit memory (procedural memory).

5. Why do you as an adult have a superior memory to an elementary school child? Answer: Answers will vary but should include discussion on all three of these elements listed below (memory span increases, conceptual knowledge of world increases, and meta-memory skills increases). There are several important reasons why an adult has a better memory than a child. First, as we grow older, our memory span increases. Research suggests that part of this increase in memory span is due to an increase in sophisticated encoding strategies (using maintenance or rote rehearsal, beginning to use elaborative rehearsal). However, there is also evidence that biological maturation also plays a role. We have to wait for an individual’s natural memory abilities to increase as we age. Memory span is seemingly influenced by both nature and nurture factors. Second, a child’s conceptual knowledge of the world is less than an adult’s. Children often have “poorer” memories because they have less experience in and with the world and all of the knowledge that an adult might have and take for granted. Because of this larger conceptual knowledge base, the adult learner can make better and more efficient use of this knowledge as he or she attempts to make newly encountered information easier to recall by relating it to information that is already meaningful. Third, children are more likely to be unaware of the limitations of their own memory abilities, an area called meta-memory. They have yet to consider the strengths and limitations of their strategies. As we grow older, we pick and choose between various memory strategies depending how effective each would be. Children are often unaware of how limited their abilities are and overestimate their ability to recall information at a later time. Again, with the passage of time, as they grow older, children begin to understand this and become more accurate, or at least more realistic, in their remembering abilities.

Critical Thinking 1. Pretend for a moment that you are the chairperson of the psychology department. Based on the information discussed on context-dependent learning, justify to your faculty why they should not reassign students to different seats on the day of an exam or should not give exams in different classrooms from where the material was learned. Answer: Answers will vary. Full credit answer should discuss how information about the learning environment is encoded along with the information about facts learned during class lecture/discussion and also mention information that the authors covered in the chapter reading (students do better on exams in same classroom where they learned the material). Researchers have noted that people tend to recall information better when the conditions associated with the original learning context are also present at the later retrieval context. It seems that this external, or incidental, information provides retrieval cues that assist in the recall of information. One such context-dependent cue may be the student’s location in the classroom. While it is the source of continued debate, some researchers have documented that students perform better when they are tested in the same classroom as opposed to a different classroom. The same may then be true of the location of their seat or being surrounded by the same persons on exam day as on lecture, or discussion, days. Research has documented that persons who were asked to learn information either standing on a beach or submerged in 15 feet of water tended to have significantly better recall when tested in similar conditions at a later time versus being tested in a different environment. By moving the student from the back of the room, the student is placed in a different context. Because the location of others and the location of one’s self within the room may provide explicit or implicit retrieval cues that assist the student in attempting to recall information for the exam, I respectfully ask that all of you as faculty refrain from shuffling student seating arrangements and locations within the classroom and thereby removing an important retrieval cue from your students.

2. Suppose that you have been called as an expert witness for a defendant accused of robbing a bank. Prior to your being called as a witness, two bank tellers confidently identified the defendant as the robber. What research evidence might you introduce to the jury to caution them about assuming that the defendant must be guilty because he or she was identified in court? Answer: Answers will vary. A full credit answer should mention at least three of the following points. Research examining the phenomenon of flashbulb memories has shown that people’s initial and later recollections of events often differ dramatically. This should serve as a caution against automatically accepting them as evidence, and it challenges the conventional belief that certain memories are impervious to forgetting or other memory errors. Post-event information, such as questions asked by the police, may become part of one’s memory of the event. Therefore, what one recalls and what one actually saw are two different events. People can be led astray in their recall of information by suggestive questioning. Researchers have documented several instances of false implanted memories that seemed to be plausible memories to the person. Research involving people who were exonerated by DNA evidence points to errors in eyewitness identification as one important factor in the individual’s being found guilty of a crime. Juries often believe eyewitness identification and are unaware that eyewitness confidence is, at best, a weak indicator of eyewitness accuracy.

Cognitive economy serves an adaptive function for humans, but does so at a price. Discuss the benefits and potential liabilities of cognitive economy. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Benefits: The most significant benefit is that our tendency to be cognitive misers offers a tremendous advantage in the speed of decision making. Also, by allowing us to categorize objects and ideas, we do not face each encounter with a new object in a vacuum. Our categorization and schemas afford transference. The ability to make snap judgments, or “thin-slicing,” shows that we have a remarkable capacity for assessing information quickly based on top-down processing and access to previous experiences. In addition, we are able to restrict the focus of our attention to help us manage information in an efficient way that aids in decision making. Liabilities: The downside of cognitive economy is that it is only a probable good choice, which means at times we suffer from poor judgment and make faulty decisions based on limited or no examination of alternatives. Various forms of bias can also cloud our decision making. These include confirmation bias and hindsight bias, as well as the availability heuristic. We also experience faulty reasoning due to mental sets and functional fixedness. Diff: 3 Skill: Conceptual APA LO: 1.3 TEXT LO: 8.1a Identify methods for achieving cognitive economy. Topic: Thinking and Reasoning

2. Discuss the ways in which cognitive economy may be implicated in various forms of discrimination. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Because the principles of cognitive economy encourage us to conserve our cognitive abilities, we make generalizations based on previous experiences and knowledge and categorize, not just objects, but also persons. Just as we do not have to treat each encounter with an object as completely new, we also do not approach other people without preconceived notions about them according to their characteristics. Our tendency to categorize and develop schemas can make thinking very efficient, but it can also lead us to overgeneralize in ways that may lead to stereotyping and discrimination.

Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Functional fixedness is the failure to use familiar objects in novel ways to solve problems. It is getting caught in familiar patterns of activity to the extent that you cannot innovate even when the situation demands it. Mental set is a mental rut in one’s approach to solving problems, the tendency to use the same old method even though another approach might be better. Both functional fixedness and the mental set are barriers to effective problem solving, and both are ordinarily based on our experiences with past attempts to solve problems. Culture may play a role in both barriers, as can one’s exposure to certain types of problem-solving strategies.

How might we apply the concept of generativity to investigations of plagiarism? Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. One key weakness of the imitation account of language is the principle of generativity. Humans do not merely mimic others and then respond to the consequence that the behavior brings. The symbol system of language allows people the opportunity to combine words in novel ways, producing sentences and even ideas never expressed in exactly the same way before. This concept is important as we consider plagiarism: The likelihood of spontaneously generating an identical sentence or passage is highly improbable.

5. Theoretical perspectives seeking to explain the development of language fall within both nature and nurture orientations. Compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of the naturebased perspectives, as well as those based on nurture. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Nature: Children appear to have inborn ability for syntax and vocalization, which supports the nativist account, specifically Chomsky’s language acquisition device. Brain structures, such as Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area, are specific to language production and comprehension, respectively. Stages of language development, such as babbling and holophrases, appear to be relatively universal in terms of the developmental timeline. Also, children, unlike adults, appear to be able to recognize and produce phonemes from languages other than that of their parents. A weakness is the lack of falsifiability of the nativist account. Nurture: Children mimic, especially if reinforced. Specifics of acquisition vary according to culture and native language exposure. Over time, and unless they learn a second language, children lose the ability to recognize and produce phonemes from languages other than that used by their caregivers. The capacity in language for infinite generativity supports our use of language in novel ways that can vary according to circumstances. A key component in understanding language is the use of context to infer meaning. Diff: 3 Skill: Applied APA LO: 1.2 TEXT LO: 8.3b Trace the development of language acquisition in children.

The case of Genie allows us to draw few conclusions about language development. Discuss the obstacles to such understanding relevant to this case. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Because Genie was reared in isolation, her case presents particular challenges. We cannot exclude rival explanations for her failure to learn to speak fluently. On one hand, her case supports the notion of a critical period of language development, as she was discovered at the age of 13, having had little exposure to language. Because she was not “activated” during this critical period, she never acquired a meaningful ability to speak or read. However, her lack of language development could also have stemmed from social isolation, as well as abuse.

Using specific examples, differentiate between the thinking patterns of a 6-year-old student and a 9-year-old student, according to Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Answer: Information related to 6-year-olds should involve difficulty with conservation tasks, reversing operations, and some issues with logical thinking because intuitive thinking is more prevalent. A 9-year-old can conserve amounts through physical transformation, and reason more logically and less intuitively about information. The answer may also be strengthened by discussing the egocentrism that typifies the thinking of a 6-year-old but may not be present in that of a 9-year-old.

Regarding Kohlberg’s theory, use specific examples to differentiate between a conventional moral reasoner and a postconventional moral reasoner. Answer: A conventional moral reasoner focuses on societal values. What is right is what society approves of, and what is wrong is what society disapproves of. A conventional moral reasoner may hold certain political beliefs because most of the person’s peers hold those beliefs. A postconventional moral reasoner focuses on internal moral principles that may differ from conventional societal values For postconventional reasoners, acts that produce the greatest good for the greatest number of people are moral acts, even if they produce disfavor from others or involve acting against self-interest. A postconventional reasoner will not likely conform or change political attitudes due to majority influence; they tend to have internal principles of right and wrong that may not adhere to social norms.

2. Correlations between Kohlberg’s dilemmas and real-world moral behavior are relatively low because responses to hypothetical dilemmas are often incongruent with a person’s behaviors. Does this suggest that Kohlberg’s theory is not a valid measure of moral development? Answer: Kohlberg’s theory is a measure of how people reason about moral problems, but it is not a measure that predicts the behaviors that people will present in real-world situations. In this way, it could be considered both a valid and invalid measure of moral development depending on how the term “moral development” is defined. If moral development is defined as a type of reasoning about right and wrong, his theory could be a valid measure. If moral development is defined as a style of behavior one presents in real contexts, his theory may not be a valid measure.

Essay 1. Describe two major cognitive theories of emotion and demonstrate their theoretical differences. Answer: Answers will vary but should include any two of the following cues for full credit. The James-Lange theory of emotion proposes that emotions result from our interpretations of our bodily reactions to stimuli. People experience an emotion because they observe their physiological and behavioral reactions to a stimulus. The somatic marker theory of emotion proposes that people use their “gut reactions,” their autonomic response, to gauge how they should act. It has been contended that this process occurs almost instantaneously, so people are not aware of it. The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion proposes that an emotion-provoking event leads simultaneously to both emotional and bodily reactions. The two-factor theory of emotion proposes that emotions are produced by two consecutive events: 1) people experience an undifferentiated state of autonomic arousal after encountering an emotion-provoking event; and 2) people label the arousal with an emotion to explain the cause of it. The explanations people attach to their arousal are emotions. Diff: 2 Skill: Conceptual APA LO: 1.2 TEXT LO: 11.1a Describe the major theories of emotion.

Suppose your older sister Amanda was diagnosed with bulimia nervosa by the doctor. Your mom is very worried about her situation. Write your mom a short letter explaining what bulimia is, including the symptoms, possible cause, and possible outcomes. Answer: Answers will vary but should include the following information for full credit. Individuals with bulimia engage in recurrent binge eating, followed by efforts to minimize weight gains through purging. Bingeing and purging set up a vicious cycle. People who try to lose a lot of weight over a short period of time are prone to binge eating. During a binge, some people could gorge themselves with food equaling more than 10,000 calories in a 2-hour period. After a binge, they feel guilt and anxiety over their loss of control and the prospect of gaining weight. Frequently, they will purge, which typically takes the form of self-induced vomiting. Purging is rewarding because it relieves anxious feelings after overeating and sidesteps weight gain, but it can set the stage for bouts of overeating. Bulimics often see themselves as fat when they are of normal weight. This is in part caused by societal pressures to be thin. As eating spirals out of control, bulimics’ self-esteem plummets, increasing their concerns about dieting and the likelihood of a binge. This completes the self-destructive circle. Bulimia could be physically hazardous, resulting in heart problems, tears to the esophagus, and erosion of tooth enamel.

5. Identify three principles that guide attraction and relationship formation and discuss each by providing examples. Answer: Answers will vary but a full credit answer should include all three cues listed below with a descriptive example for each. Proximity: Physical nearness affords the opportunity for relationship formation. For example, people living in the same apartment are more likely to befriend each other than those who do not. Similarity: The more common interests people have, the more likely they will form a relationship. Having the same interest in music, books, and food can help establish a personal connection. Reciprocity: For a relationship to move to deeper levels, people should follow the principle of give and take. People tend to feel obligated to give what they get and maintain equity in a relationship.

What could be the result of lacking the physiological ability to smile? Answer: Answers will vary but should include the following information for full credit. Facial feedback hypothesis proposes that changes in the blood vessels in the face feed back temperature information to the brain, altering our experience of emotions. People without the facial ability to smile could have a different emotional state—likely less happy—than those with a smile. In Adam’s case, lacking the physiological ability to smile might affect his mood, at least in the short term. Happiness makes people live longer, predisposes people to think more openly, allows people to see the “big picture.” Life will be easier for optimists than for pessimists. Thus, people with less happiness might have a shorter life and think more locally, paying too much attention to details.

2. Discuss the fallacies and realities about self-esteem. Answer: Answers will vary but should include the following information for full credit FALLACIES: Low self-esteem is not the root of all unhappiness, because self-esteem may not be the only variable causing unhappiness. In addition, a third variable might lead to both low self-esteem and unhappiness. The evidence linking self-esteem to mental health and life success is feeble. People with high self-esteem aren’t much more likely than people with low self-esteem to have good social skills or to do well in school. People with low self-esteem are not the only group that is prone to be aggressive. People with high self-esteem are also prone to aggression when confronted with ego threats. REALITIES: High self-esteem is associated with greater initiative and persistence, a willingness to attempt new challenges, and to stick with them even when the going gets rough. High self-esteem is associated with happiness and resilience in the face of stress. Self-esteem is related to positive illusion; that is, people with high self-esteem tend to perceive themselves more positively than others do.

Essay 1. First, provide a clear definition of stress. Next, compare and contrast stress as a stimulus, stress as a transaction, and stress as a response. Answer: Answers may vary but should contain the ideas listed below to earn full credit. Stress is the tension, discomfort, or physical symptoms that arise when a situation strains the ability to cope effectively. CONTRAST: Stress as a stimulus: focuses on identifying types of stressful events (i.e., natural disasters, breakups, or retirement). Stress as a transaction: examines how people interpret (i.e., primary appraisal and secondary appraisal) and cope (i.e., problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping) with stressful events. Stress as a response: revolves around links between psychological and physical reactions to stressful situations.

Discuss Selye’s general adaptation syndrome (GAS) and include the three stages of adaptation. Answer: Answers may vary but should contain the ideas listed below to earn full credit. According to Selye, excess stress results in breakdowns. The human body has a sensitive physiology that deals with stressful situations by igniting us into “high gear.” The responding pattern to stress is known as the GAS. All extended stressors go through three adaptive stages, including alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. o 1st Stage: Alarm Reaction: Excites the autonomic nervous system, the release of adrenaline (stress hormone), and physical anxiety. o 2nd Stage: Resistance: The adaptation and coping of stress due to activation of the “thinking brain” (cerebral cortex), which leads to the examination of the unfolding of events, evaluation of alternative solutions, and investigation of attempted coping strategies. o 3rd Stage: Exhaustion: Results from a lack of coping and limited personal resources that leads to resistance breaking down; high levels of activation can no longer be sustained. This can lead to organ system damage, immune system breakdown, depression or PTSD. Diff: 2 Skill: Factual/Conceptual APA LO: 1.1 TEXT LO: 12.2a Describe Selye’s general adaptation syndrome.

Answer: Answers may vary but should contain the ideas listed below to earn full credit. Type A Personality: competitive, driven, hostile, ambitious, impatient, perfectionist, stubborn, opinionated, cynical, and controlling. Research finds that people with a Type A personality who are also high in hostility tend to be at a higher risk for developing CHD. Hardy Personality: thrives on challenge, works hard, and is ambitious and driven, but lacks the hostility, negativity, and impatience of the Type A personality. This person does not let the challenges of life get to them, but rather they hit those challenges head on and attack them.

CHD is correlated to job stress and dissatisfaction. African American women that are discriminated against and report high levels of stress have more artery blockages than other African American women. Stressful events predict reoccurring heart attacks, high blood pressure, and heart enlargement related to CHD.

Critical Thinking 1. Discuss the role of control on stress. Based on personal experience, what do you believe to be the most effective method of control and the least effective method of control? Why? Answer: Answers may vary but should contain the ideas listed below to earn full credit. Stress can be relieved by acquiring control of the situation. Behavioral Control: This is the ability to take charge and do “something” to reduce the severity of the stressful situation (i.e., problem-focused). Such control is more effective in dealing with stress than avoiding action (i.e., avoidance oriented coping). Cognitive Control: This is the ability to “cognitively restructure or think differently about” the emotions that arise from a stressful situation. Such a strategy (i.e., emotion-focused coping) enables individuals to adjust to uncertain circumstances that cannot be controlled or changed. Strentz and Auerback (1988) found that individuals were less distressed when using emotionfocused coping rather than problem-focused coping. Decisional Control: This is the ability to choose among alternate choices, in regard to which choice is the best. Informational Control: This is the ability to gain information about a stressful circumstance. Anticipating such situations and moving forward to prevent/minimize problems from arising is known as proactive coping. Emotional Control: This is the ability to repress and express emotions, based on the situation. “There’s a time and place for everything.” Diff: 3 Skill: Conceptual APA LO: 1.3 TEXT LO: 12.3a Describe the role of social support and different types of control in coping with stress.

Stress as an effect of illness: o The diagnosis of a fatal illness can result in extreme stress, making the situation worse. Stress as both a cause and effect of illness: o Ulcers are triggered by H. pylori bacterium and stress. The bacterium alone is not sufficient to develop ulcers.

3. Discuss three of the four health tips given in the chapter. Include the benefits and implications of each tip. Answer: Answers may vary but should contain the ideas listed below to earn full credit. HEALTH TIPS: Stop Smoking: Smoking is an unhealthy way to “reduce” stress, placing oneself at risk for health and other stress-related problems (i.e., CHD, lung disease, strokes, cancer) over time. Implications: It is extremely difficult to quit smoking (80% of smokers want to stop, but only 5% of the 40% who try to stop actually succeed). Curb Alcohol Consumption: Heavy drinking is associated with health issues (i.e., cancer, liver problems, pregnancy complications, brain shrinkage, neurological problems, and cardiovascular disease). Implications: Alcohol studies are controversial because of their conflicting results. Achieve a Healthy Weight: Those who are obese tend to be less wealthy, limited in school progress, and less likely to marry, in addition to being at greater risk of heart disease, strokes, high blood pressure, arthritis, cancer, respiratory problems, and diabetes. Implications: Diet, genes, and everyday habits impact one’s ability to lose weight. Exercise: Jogging, lifting weights, and yoga can relieve depression. Other exercises can reduce anxiety and improve fitness/activeness. These exercises lead to numerous health benefits, such as lower blood pressure and CHD risk, enhance lung functions, reduce arthritis, lower diabetes risk, and reduce breast/colon cancer. Implications: Exercise must be consistent. Research shows jogging, lifting weights, and yoga must be done for eight weeks to relieve depression. OVERALL IMPLICATIONS: People see health issues as a distant threat, but stress as an imminent threat; therefore, they do not comply with these health tips. People are aware of the risks, but ignore them. People rely on the availability heuristic. People feel powerless to change.

Topic: Prejudice and Discrimination Essay 1. What is the fundamental attribution error? Discuss the cultural influences on the fundamental attribution error. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following points, along with supportive discussion, for full credit. Fundamental attribution error refers to the tendency to overestimate the impact of dispositional influences on others’ behavior. By dispositional influences, we mean enduring characteristics, such as personality traits, attitudes, and intelligence. Because of this error, we attribute too much of people’s behavior to who they are. Because of the fundamental attribution error, we also tend to underestimate the impact of situational influences on others’ behavior, so we also attribute too little of people’s behavior to what’s going on around them. We may assume incorrectly that a boss in a failing company who fired several of his loyal employees to save money must be callous, when in fact, he was under enormous pressure to rescue his company and spare the jobs of hundreds of other loyal employees. The fundamental attribution error is associated with cultural factors. Although almost everyone is prone to this error, Japanese and Chinese people seem to be less so. That may be because they’re more likely than those in Western cultures to perceive behaviors in context. As a result, they may be more prone to seeing others’ behavior as a complex stew of both dispositional and situational influences. For example, after reading newspaper descriptions of mass murderers, Chinese subjects are considerably less likely to invoke dispositional explanations for their behavior (“He must be an evil person”) and more likely to invoke situational explanations for their behavior (“He must have been under terrible stress in his life”). In contrast, American subjects tend to show the opposite pattern.

2. Explain conformity and discuss the social factors that influence the level of conformity. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following points, along with supportive discussion, for full credit. Conformity is the tendency of people to change their behavior as a consequence of group behavior. Sometimes, when you belong to an organization or group like a club, school committee, fraternity, or sorority, you may just go along with one of the group’s ideas even though you know that it is bad, perhaps even unethical. Almost everyone conforms to social pressure from time to time. There are several social factors that influence the level of conformity. The first is unanimity. If all confederates give the wrong answer, the subject is more likely to conform. However, if one confederate gives the correct response, the level of conformity drops by three-fourths. Another factor is difference in the wrong answer. Knowing that someone else in the group differs from the majority, even if that person holds a different view from us, can make us less likely to conform. A third factor is size. The size of the majority makes a difference, but only up to about five or six subjects. People are no more likely to conform in a group of fifteen subjects than in a group of five subjects.

3. Discuss groupthink. Give several examples and explain the treatments for groupthink. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following points, along with supportive discussion, for full credit. Groupthink is an emphasis on group unanimity at the expense of critical thinking and sound decision making. Groups sometimes become so intent on ensuring that everyone agrees with everyone else that they lose their capacity to evaluate issues objectively. Some of the more memorable examples of groupthink were the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Challenger shuttle disaster. Following lengthy discussions with cabinet members, President John F. Kennedy recruited 1,400 Cuban immigrants to invade Cuba and overthrow its dictator, Fidel Castro. But Castro found out about the invasion in advance. As a result, the invaders were massively outnumbered and outgunned, and they lacked adequate air backup from American forces. Almost immediately after landing at the Bay of Pigs, nearly all the invaders were captured, and some were killed. It was an enormous humiliation for the United States. The members of Kennedy’s cabinet were an uncommonly brilliant group of politicians and diplomats. Yet, their actions were astonishingly foolish. They became convinced that their plan was a good one because they all agreed to it and they failed to ask themselves the tough questions that could have averted the disaster. In 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing the seven astronauts aboard a mere 73 seconds after takeoff. Project managers of the Challenger agreed to launch it after a series of bitterly cold days in January, despite warnings from NASA engineers that the shuttle might explode because rubber rings on the rocket booster could fail in freezing temperatures. As a psychological condition, groupthink is often treated within an organization. It is recommended that all groups appoint a “devil’s advocate,” a person whose role is to voice doubts about the wisdom of the group’s decisions. Another suggestion is having independent experts on hand to evaluate whether the group’s decisions make sense. Finally, it can be useful to hold a follow-up meeting to evaluate whether the decision reached in the first meeting still seems reasonable.

4. Discuss bystander nonintervention and what factors influence intervention. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following points, along with supportive discussion, for full credit. Bystander nonintervention occurs when bystanders do not intervene in an emergency situation. It has been suggested that the presence of others makes people less, not more, likely to help in emergencies. Researchers maintain that two major factors explain bystander nonintervention. The first is pluralistic ignorance: the error of assuming that no one in the group perceives things as you do. To intervene in an emergency, we first need to recognize that the situation is, in fact, an emergency. So pluralistic ignorance is relevant when we’re trying to figure out whether an ambiguous situation is really an emergency. A second step is required for us to intervene in an emergency. We need to feel a burden of responsibility for the consequences of not intervening. Here’s the rub: the more people present at an emergency, the less each person feels responsible for the negative consequences of not helping. Researchers have called this phenomenon diffusion of responsibility: the presence of others makes each person feel less responsible for the outcome.

5. Discuss attitude change and the types of persuasive techniques that can be used on people. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following points, along with supportive discussion, for full credit. What makes us change our attitudes? According to cognitive dissonance theory, we alter our attitudes because we experience an unpleasant state of tension—cognitive dissonance— between two or more conflicting thoughts (cognitions). Because we dislike this state of tension, we’re motivated to reduce or eliminate it. If we hold an attitude or belief (cognition A) that’s inconsistent with another attitude or belief (cognition B), we can reduce the anxiety resulting from this inconsistency in three major ways: change cognition A, change cognition B, or introduce a new cognition, C, that resolves the inconsistency between A and B. Some scholars contend that it’s not dissonance itself that’s responsible for shifting our attitudes, but rather threats to our self-concept. There are at least two other alternative explanations for cognitive dissonance effects. The first, self-perception theory, proposes that we acquire our attitudes by observing our behaviors. The second, impression management theory, proposes that we don’t really change our attitudes in cognitive dissonance studies; we only tell the experimenters we have. We do so because we don’t want to appear inconsistent. Drawing on the research literature concerning attitudes and attitude change, psychologists have identified a host of effective techniques for persuading others. The foot-in-the-door technique suggests that we start with a small request before asking for a bigger one. Alternatively, we can start with a large request, like asking for a $100 donation to our charity, before asking for a small one, such as a $10 donation. This is the door-in-the-face technique. With the low-ball technique, the seller of a product starts by quoting a price well below the actual sales price. Once the buyer agrees to purchase the product, the seller mentions all of the desirable or necessary “add-ons” that come along with the product. By the time we’re done, we may end up paying twice as much as we initially agreed to pay. The “But you are free” technique suggests that people are more likely to do a favor for a person if they are informed that they are free not to.

Critical Thinking 1. Can the Milgram obedience study and the Zimbardo prison study be considered ethical? Could they be conducted today? Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following points, along with supportive discussion, for full credit. Both the Milgram obedience study and the Zimbardo prison study were unethical by today’s APA standards. Both studies did not protect the subjects from physical or psychological harm. In both studies, psychological harm could have easily occurred. Subjects needed to be debriefed after the studies and told the nature of the study. Every attempt should have been made to reduce any harmful psychological effects from participating in the study. Also, subjects were forced to continue in the study whether they wished to or not. When subjects tried to stop, they were strongly told to continue. Today’s ethics allow for subjects to stop at any time. They do not have to complete the study. This was not allowed in either of the studies. The studies could be conducted today if safeguards were in place. Subjects should be allowed to stop at any time during the study. At the end of their participation, subjects should be thoroughly debriefed to minimize any psychological harm.

Topic: Personality Assessment: Measuring and Mismeasuring the Psyche Essay 1. Contrast Freud’s theory of personality with that of the humanists’ theory of personality. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit. Freud’s psychoanalytic theory assumed psychic determinism, focused on the unconscious level of the mind, and assumed that people were naturally destructive (the id and the pleasure principle). The humanists asserted that individuals had free will, focused on conscious level of the mind, and sought constructive personal growth. Freud argued for the importance of society in constraining one’s biologically based, destructive urges. Rogers argued that others set conditions of worth on us, and being too concerned about what we should/ought to do stifles our tendency toward our fullest potential. Freud argued that personality was fully developed by adolescence and unchanging throughout adulthood. Rogers focused on the idea of free will and the ability of the self to become congruent with the organism.

2. Compare and contrast the views of Sigmund Freud with those of B. F. Skinner as they apply to a discussion of personality development. Answer: Answers will vary but should include the following ideas for full credit. Both theorists superficially agree on the issues of determinism and unconscious processing. Answer needs to distinguish between how this determinism occurs between Freud’s and Skinner’s views. Freud would focus on the determinism from arising within the individual, while Skinner would see it in our passive responses to external contingencies. Answer needs to distinguish between how each discusses the unconscious. Freud thought of the unconscious as something that the individual could not access. Skinner talks about the unconscious in our inability to determine the immediate influences on our behaviors. As a result, we assume free will because we cannot identify our responding to causally determined influences in the environment around us.

Psychologically disordered behavior will often cause the person to experience psychological and/or physical distress or discomfort. Psychologically disordered behavior will lead to problems in interpersonal relationships, school/academics, work, or ability to successfully deal with daily living.

The demonic model assumed that the absence of something was indicative of an undesired evil spirit (absence of sinking implied one was a witch). The demonic model treated mental illness by attempting to remove the evil spirits within the body. The moral treatment approach addressed the treatment of those with mental illness more than identifying the cause or causes of mental illness.

3. What are some important criticisms of the DSM-5 as a diagnostic tool for psychological disorders? Be sure to elaborate on your answers. Answer: Answers will vary but should include the following points, along with appropriate supportive discussion, for full credit. Some disorders are nothing more than labels for a problem rather than an informative diagnosis that adds to our knowledge about the person. Some people are diagnosed as suffering from multiple disorders at the same time (comorbidity), which may instead suggest that the disorders are variations of a single condition rather than true, independent diagnoses. The DSM is a based on a categorical approach—one either has the disorder (meets the diagnostic criteria for a disorder) or does not. This means that one is either normal or abnormal (differences in kind), rather than differing in one’s degree of healthy functioning (differences in degree). The DSM has a tendency to “medicalize” normality, inasmuch as it takes mild psychological disturbances and regards them as pathologically, often severely so.

5. Differentiate between the psychological disorders of dissociative identity disorder (DID) and schizophrenia. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain at least three of the following points, including the first one for sure, to earn full credit. DID is one of the dissociative disorders characterized by disruptions in a unified sense of the self (through disruptions in consciousness, memory, identity, or perception) where there are multiple personalities within a single individual. Schizophrenia, by contrast, deals with disruptions in thought processes/information processes that, in turn, affect expression of language, emotions, perceptual abilities, and relationships with others. DID is a highly controversial disorder with many critics doubting its existence as a valid diagnosis. By contrast, schizophrenia has long been recognized as a disorder (going back to Bleuler’s coining of the term in 1911). DID is proposed to arise as a response to experiences of childhood sexual abuse (in response to environmental factors when it cannot be explained via the sociocognitive model), while schizophrenia is often linked to biological and/or genetic causes. However, many psychologists take the approach that schizophrenia is caused by having a predisposition to schizophrenia along with an exposure to significant stress or multiple stressors in one’s life making the disorder more likely to emerge (diathesis stress model). DID largely appeared with the use of suggestive therapeutic tools that seem to create the disorder (and fit with the sociocognitive explanation) while schizophrenia is only managed through the use of antipsychotic medications and hospitalization as necessary for the symptoms. DID is often marked by switching between one’s normal personality and the various “alters” that exist. Schizophrenia is often marked by the presence of delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, catatonia or other disorganized behavior.

Critical Thinking 1. Do you think that there is truly room for the concept of “insanity” when a person has been found to have committed a crime? What are the various legal/psychological/ethical considerations that must be given attention in this issue? Answer: Answers will vary but a full credit answer should contain the following points. The concept of insanity is a psychological issue, not a legal one. This point is highlighted by the textbook. It does not suggest that a person has not committed the crime of which they are accused; rather, it suggests that the person should not be held responsible because they were not adequately in control of themselves at the time of the crime. There are legal “tests” of insanity, the first of which was the M’Naghten rule. This was the result of an 1843 British Trial. It holds that a person is insane if they do not know what they are doing or if they do not know what they are doing is wrong at the time of a crime. There are serious problems with the M’Naghten rule in today’s criminal justice system, but it was the foundation for all legal tests of insanity to come along since. Many argue that the insanity plea is simply a way to avoid responsibility for one’s inappropriate, illegal, or criminal actions. While this is a reasonable concern, it should not cloud the fact that some people are truly not in their right mind when they commit a crime and require treatment instead of, or along with, punishment. A student demonstrating true critical consideration of this question might comment on whether he/she would be more likely to be tolerant of the concept of an insanity plea if they were the victim, if they knew the victim or were related to the victim, or if they did not know the victim of a crime. The student might also comment on their acceptance of the insanity plea relative to the severity of the crime. Would they be equally as accepting of this concept in the case of a shoplifting charge versus murder or rape?

2. Differentiate how learning theorists and cognitive theorists differ in their explanations for the causes of anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder. Answer: Answers will vary but a full credit answer should contain the following points. Learning theorists believe that anxiety disorders result from our direct (operant conditioning approaches) and indirect experiences (classical conditioning, observational/social learning) with the world around us. For example, we learn via negative reinforcement that our anxiety can be reduced by leaving stressful situations or places, people, or objects that we fear. Learning theorists explain depression through discussing the loss of positive reinforcement. Without being able to attain desired rewards for our actions, we come to feel that we are incapable of producing desired outcomes in other situations. Cognitive theorists believe that anxiety disorders result from our thought patterns about events. For example, people overgeneralize or catastrophize the likelihood of a highly improbable event and create needless worries for themselves. Cognitive theorists explain depression through individuals’ negative view of themselves, their experiences, and their future. They view themselves as incapable now and in the future, and engage in cognitive distortions that create problems for themselves, rather than see their experiences, abilities, and futures realistically.

2. Identify and discuss the similarities and differences between the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and controlled drinking approaches to treating alcoholism. Answer: Answers will vary but need to contain the following points to earn full credit. Both approaches involve others the individual can meet with who are working to help the individual. The mentor in AA is available when the individual finds him- or herself tempted to use alcohol, for example. The mentor in the controlled drinking approach focuses on helping to reinforce the patient’s progress and deal with relapse when the person begins drinking. Both encourage the individual to avoid situations and people that would tempt them to drink. The approaches have very different goals. The AA approach focuses on total abstinence and providing a support system to reinforce sobriety via social support of individuals who understand the various temptations. The controlled drinking approach argues that controlled drinking can be learned and that teaching the individual how to deal with a lapse/relapse is as important, if not more important, than focusing on controlling the drinking. The approaches differ in how acceptable the use of controlled drinking is. AA assumes that a single drink will reveal that an individual cannot control his or her drinking behavior. The controlled drinking approach believes that drinking behavior is learned like all other forms of behavior. Both approaches focus on the importance of control. In AA, this control is internalized via external entities (higher power, social support, etc.) while in the controlled drinking approach, people focus on their own internal ability to engage in moderate, controlled drinking behavior that is under their own control.

Answer: Answers will vary but need to contain the following points to earn full credit. Strategic family therapy is designed to remove the barriers to effective communication. Families often scapegoat one family member as the identified patient with the problem. For these therapists, the real source of difficulties lies in the dysfunctional ways in which family members communicate, solve problems, and related to one another. Therapists invite family members to carry out planned tasks known as directives. Directives shift how family members solve problems and interact. In structural family therapy, therapists deeply involve themselves in family activities to change how family members arrange and organize interactions. By observing what is occurring within the family, the therapist can then advocate for changes in how the family arranges and organizes its interactions.

4. Pretend you are a psychiatrist, and you have two patients—John presents with schizophrenia, and Bill with depression. Please outline what medications you would prescribe and discuss the possible side effects. You may want to give consideration to the treatment that produces low side effects, although you can prescribe from any of the drug classes. Answer: Answers will vary but should include specific medication names as well as all of the following for full credit. John suffers from schizophrenia, and he may be prescribed any one of the following medications from either the conventional or atypical antipsychotic class: Thorazine, Haldol, Clozaril, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Geodon, Seroquel. John may experience tardive dyskinesia, which involves symptoms of involuntary movements of the facial muscles and mouth and twitching of the neck, arms, and legs. The newer medications may not cause serious side effects but they, too, have other side effect issues. Bill suffers from depression, so he may benefit from any of the antidepressants from the monoamine oxidase inhibitor class or the tricyclic class. However, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the first-line choice of treatment and are more commonly known to have fewer side effects. Any selection of antidepressants from any class would be considered an acceptable answer.

Why is the choice of a therapist who uses effective methods an important one as a person enters into psychotherapy? Answer: Answers will vary but should include the following points in the discussion to earn full credit. Many people have been dealing with the problem for several months or years prior to seeking out professional help. An effective therapist provides a patient with hope, empathy, advice, support, and opportunities for new learning experiences. An effective therapist works with the patient to find the best treatment and to provide appropriate feedback about his or her progress. An ineffective therapist dictates and seeks to control a patient’s behavior through the therapist’s preferred method of treatment. An effective therapist is open, honest, and focused on improvement with a patient, while an ineffective therapist is secret, guarded, and lacking focus on the bigger issue of improving the patient’s functioning.

2. Discuss how focusing on the importance of critical thinking would be helpful as one perused the bookshelves for a helpful, self-guided treatment. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain at least three of the following for full credit. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. A person needs to focus on the strength of the data for distinguishing between possible treatments, and also needs to remember that anecdotal, personal testimonies are not strong evidence. Replicability. Other independent sources should have verified the efficacy of one’s claims. Secret knowledge is not usually useful knowledge because it is not connected with other important areas of human behavior. There needs to be reference citation information given to find the sources of the claims made in the book. The author has the credentials and expertise to write on the topic. It is based on scientific/empirical evidence rather than on biased opinion. Recognizes the complexity of human behavior. There is not just a “one-size-fits-all” approach or the focus on a single, magic bullet solution to the problem. Serious problems require professional help, not self-help. More serious psychological disorders are not going to be treated by a self-guided process.

Discuss how the critical thinker would use what he or she knows to help distinguish between effective and ineffective therapies so that he or she is not fooled into using an ineffective therapy. Answer: Answers will vary but should contain all of the following, including relevant supportive examples, for full credit. The critical thinker will focus on two principles of critical thinking: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The critical thinker would demand evidence of the effectiveness of any treatment and would be quick, hopefully, to spot situations in which anecdotal evidence and case study observations were being used as substitutes for more rigorous research designs. Ruling out rival hypotheses. This is an important concern given that issues of spontaneous remission, the placebo effect, and regression to the mean would all represent instances in which an important change is actually due to something other than the actual effectiveness of the psychotherapy. In addition, the critical thinker should consider replicability. Effective therapies must be backed by high-quality scientific evidence derived from controlled studies. Last, the critical thinker would also be careful to avoid the role of hope and rewriting the past. The critical thinker would attempt to create a situation in which his or her own biases and hopes would not impact his or her judgment of a proposed therapy. By insisting on actual evidence, rather than on one’s thoughts and feelings that can change more than one realizes, the critical thinker could avoid some of the errors that allow people to be fooled by the apparent effectiveness of ineffective therapies.
