I have a lot of questions on the Psych/Soc section bank that I just don't understand the explanations for. I know there's a lot here, but even if you can only answer a few please do so.
53) Based on the study results, how is the relationship between inadequate sleep and hunger best described?
Why isn't the correct answer B? Can't we automatically rule out A and C because correlation =/= causation
57) If the researchers were focused on an evolutionary perspective of human motivation, what aspect of the study results would be of most interest to them?
What outside knowledge do I need to use to answer this question?
60) Which concept CANNOT explain the ability of the participants in both studies to visually process the faces they were shown?
How does answer choice C ("accomodation") involve the visual system?
68) A manuscript reviewer requested that the researchers in this study justifycounterbalancing the tasks. Which of the following is NOT an appropriate justification for counterbalancing?
I don't get what makes the correct answer right and the wrong answers incorrect.
76) Which concept takes into account the negative impact of long-term exposure to stressful events addressed in the first paragraph?
No idea how to answer this.
78) Working with depressed patients, a therapist wishing to implement a treatment framework based on the SG hypothesis, will likely pay a great deal of attention to:
No idea how to answer this.
79) Which statement best characterizes how a proponent of the SG hypothesis will describe the direction of the relationship between stress and depression?
No idea how to answer this.
82) A patient being treated for chronic pain receives weekly doses of morphine from the same doctor, with whom the patient enjoys conversing. On another occasion, the patient is treated at another location and finds that the same dose is ineffective. What may have caused this change in effectiveness?
Can't B and D both be correct?
86) The aggression scale in Study 1 allowed the researchers to isolate socially-influenced aggressive behaviors. Which alternative method would best determine if aggression was actually being modeled as opposed to already learned?
Why isn't B correct?
90) Which statement is consistent with a symbolic interactionist interpretation of the findings in Study 2? The stigmatizing example:
No idea how to answer this. I picked D.
94) As described in the passage, performance-approach outcomes:
Why is B incorrect? Isn't recognition a latent function of being a doctor. As for option A why is it correct?
99) An individual who previously worked as a salaried corporate attorney loses his or her job. Subsequently, the individual now works as an hourly wage employee at a retail store. This individual has experienced which type of social mobility?
Can't A and D both be correct?
