( Idiographic, Nomothetic ) theories are concerned with individuals; ( nomothetic, idiographic ) approaches are concerned with large numbers of people.

1

Of Piaget's stages, which one is the first?

1

This indicates the percentage of individuals who answered a test item correctly.

1

( Ipsative, Normative ) measures compare traits within the same individual, and do not compare a person to other persons who took the instrument.

1

A/An ( normative, ipsative ) interpretation is one in which the individual's score is evaluated by comparing it to others who took the same test.

1

In constructing a test, experts nearly always consider this to be most important:

1

A reliable test is always valid.

1

A valid test is always reliable.

1

Reliability coefficients are variance estimates, meaning that the coefficient denotes the amount of true score variance.

1

Reliability coefficients in the ( 0.80s, 0.70s, 0.90s ) are desirable for screening tests.

1

This individual believed that intelligence is primarily genetic and a "unitary" factor.

1

What are the mean and standard deviation for the WAIS-IV?

1

Interest inventories work best with individuals of high school age or above because:

1

A ( low, high ) standard error of measurement (SEM) means high reliability.

1

The SEM tells us the variance around a particular score for an individual.

1

( Increasing, Decreasing ) a test's length raises reliability.

1

How many stages encompass Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory of development?

1

In Freudian theory, the id operates on the ( pleasure, reality ) principle, and the ego operates on the ( reality, pleasure ) principle.

1

The superego, or ego ideal, attempts to balance the id and ego.

1

According to Freud, a dream's surface meaning is referred to as the ( manifest, latent ) content, and a dream's hidden meaning is referred to as the ( latent, manifest ) content.

1

The most important concept in Freud's theory is the unconscious mind.

1

The ( conscious, preconscious, unconscious ) mind is aware of the immediate environment; the ( preconscious, conscious, unconscious ) mind can bring ideas, images, and thoughts into awareness with little difficulty; and the ( unconscious, conscious, preconscious ) contains material which is unknown or hidden from the client.

1

In this type of thinking, things are conceptualized as good or bad, right or wrong:

1

The correct order of Jean Piaget's developmental stages are as follows: ( sensorimotor, preoperations, concrete operations, formal operations ), ( preoperations, sensorimotor, concrete operations, formal operations ), ( concrete operations, formal operations ), and ( formal operations, concrete operations ).

1

1

means the capacity to change.

1

Lev Vygotsky's theory of development emphasized the role that culture and social interaction guide cognitive development.

1

Which of Yalom's therapeutic factors can be best described as occurring when group members learn how they come across to others and what others think of them?

1

This can be described as the expression of both positive and negative feelings:

1

You suggested that your client, Rob, join a group for young fathers. He reports to you that after attending a couple sessions, he feels a sense of belonging to the group and feels understood and accepted by the other members. Which of Yalom's therapeutic factors is being described?

1

1

Approximately what percentage of scores is expected to fall between -1 and +1 standard deviations on the normal curve?

1

An ( aptitude, achievement ) test is a test that predicts a person's capacity to perform some skill or task in the future; an ( achievement, aptitude ) test is a test that measures knowledge a person has acquired through instruction or training up to a certain point in his or her academic career.

1

This type of scale simply classifies data into non-ordered, mutually exclusive categories; numbers stand for names or categories:

1

A higher standard deviation indicates less variability in scores.

1

This measure of variability is found by calculating the difference between the highest and lowest scores in a distribution:

1

This type of test tests for a significant difference between three or more groups:

1

If you ( accept, reject ) the null hypothesis, you are taking the position that there is no significant difference between groups in an experiment.

1

In which of Piaget's stages would a child master the concept of conservation?

1

Kohlberg's theory of moral development has levels, with each broken down further into stages.

1

"RS" in the counseling field is shorthand for:

1

You are out mowing your lawn one Saturday afternoon when your neighbor, Evan, strikes up a conversation with you in which he says, "I know my daughter is only being good today because she knows she will get ice cream later." Given this information, you can surmise that his daughter is in what stage of moral development, according to Kohlberg?

1

In Kohlberg's highest level of morality, postconventional morality, the individual is primarily concerned with conforming to the roles in society and living up to the expectations of society.

1

In a research experiment, this variable has the potential to affect the dependent variable, but the researcher is aware of it beforehand:

1

A p value of .05 means that there is a 95% chance that the null hypothesis is false. Another way of stating this is:

1

Which measure of central tendency is defined as the exact midpoint of a distribution?

1

1

The average correlation among items within a test or scale is known as its internal ( consistency, validity ).

1

Based on statistical properties of the normal curve, about what percentage of scores fall in the interval from 2 standard deviations below the mean to 2 standard deviations above the mean?

1

( Validity, Reliability ) considers the degree to which test scores measure what the test claims to measure.

1

This type of validity is derived from the obvious appearance of the measure itself and its test items:

1

This statistic denotes the relationship between predictor and criterion measures:

1

When a counselor is displaying ( congruence, genuineness, unconditional positive regard ), there is no conflict between their feelings and actions. There is a match between their internal state and external expression of that state.

1

The skill in ( unconditional positive regard, genuineness, congruence ) is to maintain your attitude of valuing the client and expressing care and concern for them as a human being, even as they reveal undesirable behaviors.

1

The state of being authentic or truthful is known as ( genuineness, congruence, unconditional positive regard ).

1

This refers to the ability to deeply sense a client's worldview as if it were your own:

1

1

According to Adler, this is an imagined life goal that guides a person's behavior:

1

According to existential theory, this type of anxiety is manifested as an appropriate response to an event, and can be used as a motivation to change:

1

B. F. Skinner is associated with ( operant, classical ) conditioning.

1

Wolpe's systematic desensitization is based on the principles of ( classical, operant ) conditioning.

1

Which Holland code is the rarest?

1

When a distribution is positively skewed, the tail is pointing to the:

1

If a distribution is positively skewed, then one could assume that many scores are above average and it may have been an easy exam.

1

In a positively skewed distribution, the tail points to the left.

1

When a distribution is negatively skewed, the tail is pointing to the:

1

If a distribution is negatively skewed, then one could assume that many scores are below the average and it may have been a difficult exam.

In this type of kurtosis, the majority of scores are clustered around a value at the midpoint, and a few extreme scores tapering off on either side:

1

Which type of kurtosis has more scores at the extremes and fewer in the center?

1

In this type of kurtosis, more scores are in the center of the distribution, with fewer at either extreme:

The term 'assessment' can be used synonymously with 'appraisal.'

1

This is a quantity of some construct or concept, such as anxiety or math skill:

1

A ( psychological test, measure, behavioral observation ) is a standardized procedure for sampling behavior and describing it with categories or scores, then compared to norms.

1

( Standardization, Assessment, Appraisal ) is the systematic collection and analysis of data.

1

With objective tests, there is a very low likelihood of examiners independently agreeing on a client's score on a given sample of behavior.

1

Screening and assessment are synonymous with one another.
