Psychology: Developmental Psychopathology

Question 1

• Normal/abnormal refers to effectiveness/maladaptive functioning.

Question 2

• Determining psychopathology by involuntary behavior is considered dyscontrol or dysregulation.

Question 3

• Creating a taxonomy of psychopathology involves DSM/ICD.

Question 4

• Measuring deviance from the norm to determine psychopathology is statistical deviance.

Question 5

• Social deviance uses cultural rules to judge psychopathology, while statistical abnormality uses tests and measurements.

Question 6

• Determining psychopathology using evolution is harmful dysfunction.

Question 7

• The notion that development depends on related domains affecting each other is developmental cascades.

Question 8

• Dynamics of interacting developing systems that influence course of development are developmental cascades.

Question 9

• Multifinality refers to multiple pathways leading to a single outcome.

Question 10

• Developmental psychopathology uses multiple levels of analysis.

Question 11

• Comorbidity refers to the coexistence of multiple disorders.

Question 12

• Equifinality suggests multiple pathways leading to a single outcome.

Question 13

• Flexibility and organization of behavior with development is differentiation.

Question 14

• Earlier behavior integrates into later behavior, which is referred to as developmental cascades.

Question 15

• Children actively shaping their environment rather than passively receiving it is referred to as directedness.

Question 16

• Measuring oxygenated/deoxygenated blood changes is functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Question 17

• The proportion of variability in disorders attributed to genetic variability is heritability.

Question 18

• Reward, reinforcement, motor function, and cognition are associated with glutamate.

Question 19

• Attention and memory are associated with acetylcholine.

Question 20

• Radioactively labeled substances are used in positive emission tomography.

Question 21

• Emotion processing is associated with the right hemisphere.

Question 22

• Behavioral and emotional regulation are associated with serotonin.

Question 23

• Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter.

Question 24

• Flight or fight response is associated with epinephrine.

Question 25

• A cluster of co-occurring symptoms in a cultural group is a cultural syndrome.

Question 26

• Explaining distress through experiences, not just symptoms is a cultural explanation.

Question 27

• National Comorbidity Study is a part of the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys.

Question 28

• Emotion dysregulation includes uncontrolled crying, screaming, and physical aggression.

Question 29

• Expressed emotion includes criticism, hostility, and emotional involvement.

Question 30

• Ways of expressing distress that aren't associated with syndromes are cultural idioms.

Question 31

• Misdiagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is more likely in females.

Question 32

• Different measurement properties in tests across groups is differential item functioning.

Question 33

• Sex bias in measurement happens when one sex is more likely to endorse an item than the other.

Question 34

• Men are more likely to delay seeking treatment, while women are more likely to seek treatment in general.

Question 35

• Persons with masculine or feminine attributes are more likely to respond to an item based on gender.

Question 36

• More accurate diagnoses occur when clinician and patient have similar genders and races.

Question 37

• Misdiagnosis of schizophrenia is more likely in Black and Hispanic patients.

Question 38

• DSM is used by therapists, while ICD is used by psychiatrists.

Question 39

• The current focus of DSM 5 is neurobiological.

Question 40

• Information excluded from DSM-IV-TR is treatment.

Question 41

• The current version of the DSM is V.

Question 42

• An ineffective therapy as a control is a placebo control.

Question 43

• Variables like therapist interactions are researched in psychotherapy research.

Question 44

• Ethical issues are a concern with waiting list controls, which involve delayed treatment.

Question 45

• Efficacious treatments are validated by multiple research groups, while probably efficacious require only one.

Question 46

• Benchmarking compares therapies to previously published measures.
