patient uniformity myth BY kIESLER
study of the incidence, distribution, and consequences of a particular problem or set of problems in one or more populations
epidemiology,
study the incidence and prevalence of disorders among different groups of people
Epidemiologists
behavior changes as a result of a person’s expectation of change rather than as a result of any manipulation by an experimenter
a placebo effect
researcher gives different treatments to two or more comparable groups of people with a particular disorder and can then assess how or whether each treatment helped the people who received it.
comparative treatment research
t strategies used in single-case experimental design in which a behavior is measured several times instead of only once before you change the independent variable and once afterward
repeat measurement
genetic mechanisms that ultimately contribute to the underlying problems causing the symptoms and difficulties experienced by people with psychological disorders
Endophenotypes a
a family disorder is studied, other inherited characteristics are assessed at the same time. genes for the disorder and the genetic marker are probably close together on the same chromosome
genetic linkage analysis
not be at risk—to prevent later problems and promote protective behaviors
