      All panes

    • B.

      One-half

    • C.

      One-fourth

      Three-quarters

    Correct Answer
    B. 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?

    • A.

      Projection

    • B.

      Displacement

    • C.

      Sublimination

      Rationalization

    Correct Answer
    B. 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.

      Anal

    • C.

      Phallic

    • D.

      Latency

    Correct Answer

    The Oedipus conflict and Electra complex occur during Freud's phallic psychosexual stage. This stage typically occurs between the ages of 3 and 6, where children experience sexual feelings towards their opposite-sex parent and may feel rivalry or jealousy towards the same-sex parent. 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.

    Explanation
    During the stage of infancy, individuals develop trust or mistrust towards their caregivers. If this stage is not successfully completed, the individual may become withdrawn and estranged. This could be due to a lack of a secure attachment with their caregivers, leading to difficulties in forming relationships and trusting others later in life.

    • C.

      Stage VII - middle adulthood

    • D.

      Stage VIII - old age

    Correct Answer
    B. 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.

    Explanation
    Jean Piaget was the first modern theorist to emphasize that infants are actively exploring and trying to master their surroundings from their first breath of life. Piaget's theory of cognitive development proposed that infants actively engage with their environment, using their senses and motor skills to learn and adapt. He believed that infants go through different stages of development, each characterized by specific cognitive abilities and ways of understanding the world. Piaget's emphasis on the active role of infants in their own development revolutionized the field of child psychology and greatly influenced our understanding of early childhood development.

  • 28. 

    According to Piaget's stages of cognitive development, in which stage does the individual have the avility to reason using abstract concepts?

    • A.

      Preoperational thought

    • B.

      Concrete operations

    • C.

      Formal operations

    • D.

      Sensorimotor

    Correct Answer
    C. Formal operations
    Explanation
    According to Piaget's stages of cognitive development, the stage in which an individual has the ability to reason using abstract concepts is the formal operations stage. In this stage, which typically begins around adolescence, individuals can think logically and systematically about abstract ideas and hypothetical situations. They can understand complex concepts, use deductive reasoning, and think critically about various possibilities and outcomes. This stage represents a significant advancement in cognitive abilities compared to the previous stages of sensorimotor, preoperational thought, and concrete operations.

    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?

    • A.

      Preoperational thought

    • B.

      Concrete operations

    • C.

      Formal operations

    • D.

      Sensorimotor

    Correct Answer
    B. 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.

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.
