This means that an individual is dealing with both a mental health condition and a substance use problem simultaneously. Substance abuse refers to the excessive and harmful use of drugs or alcohol.

    Unsuccessful completion of which stage of psychosocial development leads to compulsive self-restraint or compliance, defiance and willfulness?

    • Stage I - infancy

    • Stage II - early childhood

    • Stage VII - middle adulthood

    • Stage VIII - old age

    Correct Answer
    A. Stage II - early childhood
    Explanation
    During stage II of early childhood, children develop autonomy and a sense of independence. If this stage is not successfully completed, it can lead to feelings of shame and doubt, which may result in compulsive self-restraint or compliance, defiance, and willfulness. This can manifest as a constant need for approval and validation from others or a tendency to rebel against authority figures. It is during this stage that children begin to assert their own will and test boundaries, so a lack of successful completion can have long-term effects on their behavior and self-confidence.

    • Conversion

    • Somatization

    • Hypochondriasis

    • Body dysmorphic

    Correct Answer
    A. Body dysmorphic
    Explanation
    Body dysmorphic disorder is a somatoform disorder that is characterized by a preoccupation with an imagined defect in physical appearance. Individuals with this disorder are excessively concerned about their appearance and believe that they have a flaw or defect that makes them unattractive. This preoccupation can cause significant distress and impairment in daily functioning. Unlike other somatoform disorders, such as conversion and somatization, body dysmorphic disorder specifically focuses on perceived flaws in physical appearance rather than physical symptoms or pain. Hypochondriasis, on the other hand, involves excessive worry and fear about having a serious medical condition, rather than concerns about physical appearance.

The Oedipus conflict refers specifically to a boy's feelings towards his mother and rivalry with his father, while the Electra complex refers to a girl's feelings towards her father and rivalry with her mother. This stage is crucial for the development of a child's gender identity and the resolution of these conflicts is important for healthy psychosexual development.

    In the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision), Axis I refers to clinical disorders and other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention. Axis II, on the other hand, includes personality disorders and mental retardation. The question is asking about the axis that needs to be identified as the principal diagnosis in order for Axis I to not be assumed as the principal diagnosis. Therefore, the correct answer is II.

This direct interaction provides an opportunity for the patient to openly discuss their substance usage, habits, and any related concerns or issues. It also allows the healthcare provider to ask specific questions, gather detailed information, and assess the patient's overall condition, which can aid in determining the extent of their substance usage.

This milestone in vocabulary development is important for their communication and cognitive development.

Pavlov's famous experiment involved ringing a bell before presenting food to the dogs, eventually leading to the dogs salivating at the sound of the bell alone. This experiment demonstrated the concept of classical conditioning and laid the foundation for behaviorism as a psychological approach.

    Using Johari's window and the four panes of self, how much are we aware of in ourselves?

    • All panes

    • One-half

    • One-fourth

    • Three-quarters

    Correct Answer
    A. One-half
    Explanation
    According to Johari's window, there are four panes of self: open, blind, hidden, and unknown. The open pane represents the aspects of ourselves that are known to us and others. The blind pane represents the aspects that are known to others but unknown to us. The hidden pane represents the aspects that are known to us but unknown to others. Lastly, the unknown pane represents the aspects that are unknown to both ourselves and others. The correct answer, "one-half," suggests that we are aware of only half of ourselves, as the other half consists of the blind, hidden, and unknown aspects that we are not aware of.

    Which defense mechanism is used when emotions are aroused in a situation where it would be dangerous to express them?

    • Projection

    • Displacement

    • Sublimination

    • Rationalization

    Correct Answer
    A. Displacement
    Explanation
    Displacement is a defense mechanism that is used when emotions are aroused in a situation where it would be dangerous to express them. This defense mechanism involves redirecting one's emotions or impulses towards a substitute target that is less threatening or safer to express them towards. For example, if someone is angry at their boss but cannot express their anger directly, they may instead take out their frustration on a coworker or a family member. Displacement allows individuals to release their emotions in a safer way, avoiding potential harm or conflict.

    According to Piaget's stages of cognitive development, in which stage does the child have the avility to reason like an adult in every way except for reasoning and bastract concepts?

    • Preoperational thought

    • Concrete operations

    • Formal operations

    • Sensorimotor

    Correct Answer
    A. Concrete operations
    Explanation
    According to Piaget's stages of cognitive development, the correct answer is concrete operations. In this stage, which typically occurs between the ages of 7 and 11, children gain the ability to think logically and solve problems in a more organized and systematic way. They can understand concrete concepts and perform mental operations on objects, but they still struggle with abstract and hypothetical reasoning. Therefore, although they can reason like adults in many ways, their limitations in abstract thinking differentiate them from fully reasoning like adults.

  • 41. 

    Which behaviorist stated the most important determinants of behavior are in the environment and not the individual?

    • E.L. Thorndike

    • J.B. Watson

    • Ivan Pavlov

    • B.F. Skinner

    Correct Answer
    A. B.F. Skinner
    Explanation
    B.F. Skinner is the correct answer because he was a behaviorist who believed that the environment played a crucial role in determining behavior. He emphasized the concept of operant conditioning, which suggests that behavior is shaped by the consequences that follow it. According to Skinner, positive reinforcement and punishment can influence behavior, and individuals learn through reinforcement and punishment in their environment. Skinner's ideas were influential in the field of psychology and continue to be relevant in understanding human behavior.
