A. Sigmund FreudExplanation
Sigmund Freud developed the theory of id, ego, and superego. He was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis. According to Freud's theory, the id represents the unconscious and instinctual drives, the ego represents the conscious and rational part of the mind, and the superego represents the internalized moral and societal values. Freud's theory had a significant impact on the field of psychology and continues to be influential in understanding human behavior and personality development.Rate this question:

Carl Rogers is associated with _____ therapy.
- A.
Psychoanalysis
- B.
Behavior
- C.
Behavioral activation
- D.
Client centered
Correct Answer
D. Client centeredExplanation
Carl Rogers is associated with client-centered therapy. This approach, also known as person-centered therapy, emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the client's subjective experience. Rogers believed that individuals have the capacity for self-understanding and personal growth, and that the therapist's role is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for clients to explore their feelings and experiences. In client-centered therapy, the focus is on the client's own goals and self-direction, rather than the therapist's interpretation or analysis.Rate this question:

Manifest coding is ...
- A.
When a researcher reads into the meaning of the content he is analyzing to get data.
- B.
When coding content is based on face-value rather the meaning.
- C.
When trying to prove causation, levels of data are mismatched and statistics are applied at one level to infer data of another level.
- D.
A logic error based on circular reasoning, i.e., something is true by definition, or true because the dependent variable is merely a restatement of the independent variable.
Correct Answer
B. When coding content is based on face-value rather the meaning.Explanation
Manifest coding is when coding content is based on face-value rather than the meaning. This means that the researcher is only looking at the surface-level information and not trying to interpret or analyze the deeper meaning behind the content. This approach may result in missing important insights or nuances that can be found by delving deeper into the content. It is important for researchers to go beyond the surface and consider the underlying meaning of the data they are analyzing in order to obtain accurate and meaningful results.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Job, workerExplanation
The approach of engineering psychology is to fit the job to the worker. This means that engineering psychology focuses on designing and adapting job tasks, environments, and technologies to match the abilities, skills, and characteristics of the individual worker. This approach aims to optimize worker performance, satisfaction, and well-being by ensuring that the job requirements are compatible with the worker's capabilities and needs.Rate this question:

What is the key difference between facticious disorder and malingering?
- A.
Malingering is a subconscious process.
- B.
In malingering the person has something to gain.
- C.
Factitious disorder involves deception.
- D.
Factitious disorder involves secondary gain.
Correct Answer
B. In malingering the person has something to gain.Explanation
The key difference between factitious disorder and malingering is that malingering involves a conscious process where the person feigns or exaggerates symptoms for personal gain. This could include avoiding work or legal responsibilities, obtaining financial compensation, or seeking drugs. On the other hand, factitious disorder involves a subconscious process where the person intentionally produces or feigns physical or psychological symptoms without any apparent external incentives. The motivation behind factitious disorder is to assume the sick role and receive attention or sympathy from others, known as secondary gain.Rate this question:

- A.
Concrete operational
- B.
Sensorimotor
- C.
Preoperational
- D.
Formal operational
Correct Answer
C. PreoperationalExplanation
According to Piaget, magical thinking, which is the belief that thinking about something will actually cause it to occur, is characteristic of the preoperational stage of development. In this stage, children are not yet capable of logical reasoning and often rely on their imagination and perception to understand the world around them. They may believe that their thoughts and wishes have the power to make things happen, leading to magical thinking. This stage typically occurs between the ages of 2 and 7.Rate this question:

Wernicke's aphasia
- B.
Broca's aphasia
- C.
Expressive aphasia
- D.
Global aphasia
Correct Answer

The individual's statement is nonsensical and does not convey a clear message. This is a characteristic symptom of Wernicke's aphasia, which is a language disorder caused by damage to the Wernicke's area in the brain. People with Wernicke's aphasia often have difficulty understanding and producing meaningful speech, resulting in fluent but incomprehensible language.Rate this question:

The statement, "If you clean your room, you will be able to go outside and play" is an example of which psychological principle?
- A.
Zeigarnik Effect
- B.
Premack Principle
- C.
Pleasure Principle
- D.
Reality Principle
Correct Answer
B. Premack PrincipleExplanation
The Premack Principle suggests that if a person wants to perform a given activity, the person will perform a less desirable activity to get the more desirable activity. Essentially, activities become reinforcers. For example, a child will be more motivated to perform a particular activity if he/she knows that he/she will be able to partake of a more desirable activity as a consequence. If high-probability behaviors (e.g., playing) are made contingent upon lower-probability behaviors (e.g., cleaning), then the lower-probability behaviors are more likely to occur.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not an antipyramidal symptom?
- A.
Parkinsonism
- B.
Tardive Dyskenesia
- C.
Blurred Vision
- D.
Acute Dystonia
Correct Answer
C. Blurred VisionExplanation
Blurred vision is not an antipyramidal symptom. Antipyramidal symptoms are side effects of certain medications that affect the extrapyramidal system, which is responsible for motor control. Parkinsonism, Tardive Dyskinesia, and Acute Dystonia are all examples of antipyramidal symptoms characterized by movement disorders such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and involuntary movements. Blurred vision, on the other hand, is not directly related to motor control and is not typically associated with antipyramidal symptoms.Rate this question:

Vision is processed in the occipital lobe, which is located at the back of the brain. This lobe is responsible for receiving and interpreting visual information from the eyes. On the other hand, problem solving is regulated by the frontal lobe, which is located at the front of the brain. This lobe is involved in higher cognitive functions such as decision making, planning, and problem solving.Rate this question:

Which drug can be used to treat bipolar disorder?
- A.
Xanax
- B.
Risperdal
- C.
Seroquel
- D.
Lithium
Correct Answer
D. LithiumExplanation
Lithium is the correct answer because it is a mood stabilizer commonly used to treat bipolar disorder. It helps to control the extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels that are characteristic of bipolar disorder. Xanax is not typically used to treat bipolar disorder, as it is a medication primarily prescribed for anxiety disorders. Risperdal is an antipsychotic medication that may be used in some cases of bipolar disorder, but it is not the first-line treatment. Seroquel is another antipsychotic medication that may be used to treat bipolar disorder, but again, it is not the first-line treatment like lithium.Rate this question:

Which system would include a child's family in Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory?
- A.
Chronosystem
- B.
Mesosystem

This includes the child's family, friends, school, and other significant relationships. The microsystem plays a crucial role in shaping the child's development and provides the most direct and immediate influence on their life.
