Structured Learning Theory
Incorporates social skills training, modeling, role-playing, skills instruction, and performance appraisal in the treatment of depression

An error made when an experimenter erroneously accepts the null hypothesis
Informational power
The influencing agent possesses specific information needed by the target person
High LPC leaders
Person oriented
More focused on maintaining good interpersonal relationships
Agnosia
Inability to identify something
External validity
The generalizability of research results
Postcentral gyrus location
In the parietal lobe. Includes somatosensory cortex

Deception in children
Children as young as 3 lie for various reasons (ie to avoid punishment or embarrassment, to obtain rewards)
Marlatt’s model of substance dependence
That addicts learn to associate substance use with relief of self criticism and guilt through a variety of cues and reinforcers.
Excessive substance use only exacerbates problems and becomes self-reinforcing

Final stage of Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development and the successful resolution result
Integrity versus despair
Wisdom
What is the F score on the MMPI-2
Infrequency scale
What dimension of the Health Belief Model is the most influential?
Perceived barriers
Schizophrenia in developing countries
Exhibit more acute onset of symptoms
Shorter clinical course
Complete remission of symptoms
Marlatt’s theory on relapses
A slip is likely to lead to a full blown relapse when the person makes dispositional attributions for it, such as blaming themselves.
Relapse prevention involves teaching the person to make non-dispositional attributions, such as blaming the situation or the nature of the disease
Paraprosopia
Visual hallucinations of terrifying faces
Low LPC leader
Task oriented
More focused on successful task performance
Who is associated with loss aversion?
Kahneman and Tversky
What does a score of 90 or higher mean on an F score for the MMPI-2
Could indicate random responding and invalidates the test
Attributions for optimistic people in response to negative events
External, unstable, and specific
Dimensions of Berry’s model of acculturation
1) Retention of minority culture
2) Maintenance of majority culture
Blocking in classical conditioning
When a CS is presented simultaneously with a second stimulus just before the US. The 2nd stimulus will not acquire the properties of a CS.
Percentage of women who get full postpartum depression
10-20%
Purpose of the Ethical Standards
Set forth enforceable rules
Situational control is determined by:
1) Leader-member relations
2) task-structure
3) leader position power
Referent power
The target identifies with or likes the influencing agent
Adverse impact
When the hiring rate for a minority group is less than 80% of the hiring rate of the majority group
Risky shift
When a group makes a decision that is riskier than would have been made by the members individually
Generic name and type for amitrityline
Elavil and tricyclic
Centration
A limitation of preoperational thought that leads a child to focus on one aspect of a situation and neglect others, often leading to illogical conclusions
Purpose of the Introduction
Discussed the intent, organization, procedural considerations, and scope of application of Ethics code
Methods used for restructuring in structural family therapy
Relabeling and reframing
Dementia due to head trauma
Is usually non progressive when is the result of a single head trauma.
Ataxia
Lack of muscle coordination
When does conservation occur?
Between 7 and 12
Methods used during joining in structural family therapy
Tracking and mimesis
Systematic desensitization
Anxiety arousing stimuli are paired with stimuli that produce an incompatible response (often relaxation). It uses counter conditioning to eliminate an anxiety response.
Theory X
Managers assume the workers are:
1) primarily motivated by financial self-interest
2) job demands much match skills
3) that workers need detailed guidelines and supervision
Equity theory
In any work situation we assess both our input (how much effort we are contributing to a work situation) and our output (how much we get out of it). We then compare our input/output ratio to what we perceive are the ratios of our coworkers
Akinesia
Lack of voluntary motion
Purpose of Beck’s cognitive therapy
To modify dysfunctional automatic thoughts that are seen as the cause of maladaptive emotional responding.
Etic
Studying culture from outside
What is the best reliability coefficient to use when practical
Alternate Form Coefficient
Symptoms from third stage of Alzheimer’s
Apathy and emotional blunting
What is the alternate form coefficient the best reliability coefficient
Because for it to be high the test must demonstrate consistency across both a time interval and different content
Reward power
The influencing agent has control over valued rewards and resources
Personality disorder with the best prognosis:
Borderline personality disorder
Ratio of MDD in females to males
From 2:1 to 3:1
SSRIs versus Tricyclics for side effect
Tricyclics are more likely to cause anticholinergic effects
Who is responsible for Theory X and Y?
McGregory
Age of onset of specific phobia, blood injection injury type
Early childhood and may occur at a younger age for women than men
Generic name and type for Sertraline
Zoloft, SSRI
Interpersonal psychotherapy
Focuses on interpersonal aspects of depression and uses the biopsychosocial model which frames depression as a medical illness occurring in a social context.
Goal is to alleviate symptoms with interpersonal relationships as appoint of intervention.
Interaction between selection and treatment
The effect of a treatment may not generalize to other members of the target population who differ in some way from the research participants.
Power test
No or a generous time limit but with items ranging from easy to very difficult. Measures level of content mastered.
Prosopagnosia
Inability to recognize familiar faces
Satisficing
The decision making style of using the minimal amount of information to reach a “good enough” solution
Marginalization
When a member of a minority group does not identify strongly with either culture
Precentral gyrus role
Motor functioning
Symptoms from second stage of Alzheimer’s
Paranoia and mood lability
What does it mean if a predictor is highly sensitive
It will more likely identify the presence of a characteristic leading to more positives (true and false)
Purpose of the Preamble and General Principles
To provide aspirational goals to guide psychologists toward the highest ideals of psychology
Three steps of structural family therapy
1) Joining
2) Evaluating/diagnosing
3) Restructuring
Pooled variance
The weighted average variance for each group. They are weighted based on the number of subjects in each group.
Symptoms from first stage of Alzheimer’s
