Study Notes
Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy
- Source of unhappiness is the individual's system of inappropriate beliefs.
Two-Phase Study
- Participants randomly assigned to groups A or B.
- Group A could stop irritating air puffs, group B could not.
- Second phase: both groups had buttons to stop air puffs.
- Hypothesized disorder most likely to result from similar real-world conditions: Major depressive disorder.
Psychological Disorder Investigation
- Best strategy for investigating an unfamiliar disorder: a case study.
Abnormal Behavior Criteria
- Key component of abnormal behavior: must interfere with some aspect of a person's life.
Faulty Conclusion in Survey Study
- Dr. Patel's conclusion was faulty because he assumed a causal relationship using data from a nonexperimental method. He did not use experimental or naturalistic observation.
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
- Final stage where Magali became ill is exhaustion.
Danielle's Situation
- Danielle is likely in the exhaustion stage of Hans Selye's general adaptation syndrome.
Cultural Differences in Behavior
- Possible cause for interpersonal issues: cultural differences in emotional expression and body language. This is consistent with how psychologists study culture's influence on behavior.
Motivation Theory for Tomas
- Tomas's long hours of hockey practice exemplify extrinsic motivation.
Motivation and George

Self-Efficacy

Conformity in Group Size
- Conformity increases as group size increases to about four persons, according to the provided graph of trials on which participants conform.
Employee Job Satisfaction and Performance

Stereotype Definition
- A stereotype is a generalization about a social group.
Attribution for Exam Success

Andi's Screaming
- Andi's screaming behavior is best explained by Albert Bandura's social learning theory.
Mental Illnesses and Behavior
- Maladaptive behaviors that are rewarding in the past can potentially lead to mental illnesses. This is consistent with the behavioral model.
Child Learning: Spoons and Tableware
- A child learning spoons are tableware and then similar items (forks, knives) are also tableware is called stimulus generalization
Conditioned Stimulus and Treatment Room
- The treatment room became a conditioned stimulus, evoking a nauseous reaction from the cancer patient.
Psychosocial Theory of Development: Final Stage
- In this psychosocial theory, late adulthood is the integrity versus despair stage.
Meaningful Word Parts
- A morpheme is a word or part of a word that is in itself meaningful but cannot be broken into smaller meaningful units.
Language Acquisition Difficulty
- A 40-year-old will have more difficulty learning a new language compared to a child because of syntax.
Lack of Conservation
- The example of five-year-old Mary not understanding equal amounts of liquid in different shapes exemplifies preconventional thought.
Object Permanence
- Jason's behavior shows object permanence because he understands that objects still exist even if they are not immediately visible.
Gender Stereotypes
- Gender stereotypes are formed from societal norms and environmental factors and not just biological factors.
Rooting Reflex
- To elicit the rooting reflex, stroke your baby's cheek.
Correlation in Study
- Correlation between teratogens and delivery time is graphically represented as a scatter plot.
Development Debacle
- The debate regarding the continuity or discontinuity of development is developmental vs. cognitive.
Cross-Sectional Study Advantage
- A cross-sectional study, compared to a longitudinal one, is beneficial because it requires comparatively little time.
