Question 1

What is replication of a study?

Answer 1

Repetition of a study, using different participants.

Replication of a study refers to the process of repeating a study using different participants. This involves conducting the same research design, methods, and procedures with a new set of participants to determine if the original findings can be reproduced and generalized to a larger population. Replication is an important aspect of scientific research as it helps to establish the reliability and validity of the original study’s results. By replicating a study with different participants, researchers can assess the consistency and robustness of the findings, increasing the confidence in the overall conclusions.

Question 2

Involves collecting data from different groups at a single point in time, allowing the researchers to compare different age groups.

Answer 2

Cross-sectional research Design

Question 3

Involves collecting data from the same group of individuals over extended period of time, allowing researchers to track changes within individuals over time

Answer 3

Longitudinal Design

Question 4

Combines element of both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs by collecting data from different age groups over an extended period of time, allowing researchers to compare both between and within age groups.

Answer 4

Sequential Design

Question 5

A correlation is considered to be positive if:

Answer 5

Both variables increase or decrease together

*This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases, and as one variable decreases, the other variable also decreases. In other words, there is a direct relationship between the two variables, where they move in the same direction.

Question 6

In an experiment the group of participants who do not receive the independent variable is called the.

Answer 6

Control group

*an experiment, the control group refers to the group of participants who do not receive the independent variable. This group is used as a baseline for comparison, allowing researchers to determine the effects of the independent variable by comparing it to the control group. By keeping all other variables constant and only manipulating the independent variable in the experimental group, researchers can isolate the effects of the independent variable and determine its impact on the dependent variable.

Question 7

Correlational studies have linked parenting styles to specific outcomes in children. For example, children with authoritative parents tend to have higher levels of social competence. What is the primary reason we must be cautious before suggesting that a causal relationship exists?

Answer 7

A. SB5
B. DAT
C. PAI
D. WAIS-IV

Answer 182

D. WAIS-IV

*The separate subtest scores of the WAIS-IV and other Wechsler tests offer an opportunity for pattern analysis.

Wechsler (1958) reasoned that different types of emotional problems might have differential effects on the subtests and cause unique score patterns. For example, people with conversion disorders often use denial and repression—that is, they put things out of awareness as a defense mechanism. Therefore, they should show lapses in their long-term store of knowledge, which might produce a relatively low score on the information subtest.

Question 207

While attending a staff meeting at a mental health facility where you work, you learn that one of your colleagues, a psychologist, is behaving in an unethical manner toward one of her patients.

A. Approach the colleague individually and urge her to change her behavior; if she refuses, recommend to the director of the facility that she needs to be fired.

B. Approach the colleague individually and urge her to change her behavior; if she refuses, report her to the appropriate ethics committee.

C. Report the colleague to the appropriate ethics committee immediately, since she has already stated that she will not change her behavior,

D. Ignore her since you believe you are not in the position to talk to her. Besides, several members already talked to her.

Answer 207

Approach the colleague individually and urge her to change her behavior; if she refuses, report her to the appropriate ethics committee.

*Feedback
When you know that a colleague has violated the code of ethics, the FIRST STEP is to have “informal resolution”. You, as a mental health practitioner, shall approach your colleague INDIVIDUALLY and talk to him or her regarding the violation he or she committed even though other practitioners already talked to him or her. If informal resolution did not work between the two of you, then you may report him or her to the appropriate ethics committee, not to the head of the clinic.

Question 208

A. Ethically, because he acted in accordance with the student’s welfare.

B. Ethically, because he had responsibilities to the college as well as to the students. Besides, he revealed the information to a person who may help the student.

C. Unethically, because he revealed the information to a third party without the student’s consent.

D. Unethically, because he is not a clinician.

Answer 208

C. Unethically, because he revealed the information to a third party without the student’s consent.

The student has the right to decide whether or not he or she avails of a service from the director. In addition, there are no explicit signs of harm indicated in the statement to breach confidentiality.
