Ghost Busters (1984) was a movie about parapsychology professors and included scenes with the professors testing skills of participants. This popular movie could have contributed to which of the following popular myths in psychology:
 
  a. Most People Use only 10 of Their Brain Power
  b. Extrasensory Perception is a Well-Established Scientific Phenomenon
  c. People with Schizophrenia Have Multiple Personalities
  d. Most People Experience a Midlife Crisis in Their 40s or Early 50s



Two colleagues are debating over whether giving extrinsic, arbitrary rewards like candy or giving intrinsic rewards like gaining new skills and passing to new material are better ways of motivating children to study.
 
  They agree to the following study, using a 6th grader who, with his parent's approval, has volunteered to help: First, no rewards are given for studying. Next an extrinsic reward (candy) is given, then no reward, then the extrinsic reward of candy is given again, then a combination of candy and pointing out how much the child has learned. Next a return to extrinsic reward only. On another series of days the child is first given no reward, then a period of only pointing out how much has been learned. Next, no reward is given followed by again pointing out how much is learned. The both rewards are presented together, and finally there is a return to just pointing out how much is learned. In each of these many phases, the child's teacher keeps track of the speed of his progression through his required work. What single-case research design are these colleagues using?
 
 a. A-B-A design
   b. interaction design
  c. multiple baseline design
  d. changing criterion design



For what kinds of situations is the changing-criterion design particularly useful?
 
  a. when evaluating psychotherapies for affective or anxiety disorders
   b. when the participant's behavior requires shaping to attain a goal
  c. when the target behavior often fluctuates wildly over time
  d. when other designs have proved to be useless, since the changing criterion design is new.



Which of the following accurately describes the role of undergraduates in psychological research?
 
  a. undergraduates learn about research methods but are not allowed to conduct research
  b. undergraduates have a strong tradition of involvement in psychological research
  c. undergraduates are limited to entry level research roles such as data collection and entry
  d. undergraduates can assist faculty members in their research endeavors



Which variable would be considered to be measured at the ordinal level?
 
  a) religious affiliation
  b) SAT score
  c) temperature
  d) racing results
