OK, i have a couple of questions for the experts. I'm not a psych major and am only taking it as a pre-req. I have a few questions that I need answered ASAP. it's from my study guide for my exam on monday morning (8 am). i've read my text over and over and my professor won't help out with these question. here they are...
#1
True or False
Major depression disorder is one of the most severe of the anxiety disorders.
-my thoughts are false because it is a mood disorder. am i right?
#2
Carl Jung differed from Freud in that Jung advocated the existance of what while Freud did not?
-totally lost here, my text does not compare contrast them well.
#3
Which theory of personality is most widely accepted today and represents a more scientific approach to understanding human differences?
-my guess is the Five Factor theory, what you all think?
#4
CASE STUDY
4 year old Freddie would love to have all the cookies in the cookie jar, but he knows this is not possible because his big brother's would be very unhappy. When they are unhappy, they make sure Freddie is unhappy so Freddie decides to eat just 2 cookies. What challenging part of the personality allowed for this resolution of Freddie's conflict?
-lost, not getting the grasp of this chapter with all the different theories (Personality Theory and Assessment)
#5
CASE STUDY
Michelle is visiting with her therapist trying to find why her life is so difficult and why she doesn't seem to manage her time well. Her therapist, Dr. Connelly begins their sessions by asking Michelle to interrupt her when she pauses and say whatever comes to mind. Dr. Connelly says, "I worry a great deal about ...." and then trails off waiting for Michelle to respond. Dr. Connelly is using what? (particular therapy technique)
-heard it in lecture, just slipped the mind.
#6
CASE STUDY
It is difficult to have a conversation with Bill. He tends to interrupt often, change the topic to himself, and he rarely smiles or gives indication he is happy to be talking with you. He doesn't seem to notice the affect his behavior has on others. Research on gender differences in personality characteristics would indicate what about Bill?
#7
In both human and animals, high levels of ___________________ have been linked to aggression.
- i have Androgens, just not 100% sure for some reason
#8
In the response to stress, what hormones are produced?
-I have ACTH released via the pituitary when then activates the adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids which ultimately is the active hormone to aide in resisting the stressors.
