@ Learning Outcome 2.3: Describe the goals, strengths and weaknesses of psychological approaches to assessment. A projective test is a psychological assessment tool in which a set of standard stimuli—inkblots or drawings—ambiguous enough to allow variation in responses is presented to the person.

Which of the following is not relevant to obsessive-compulsive disorder? @ Learning Outcome 4.6: Describe the commonalities in the aetiology of obsessivecompulsive and related disorders, as well as the factors that shape the expression of the specific disorders within this cluster.

Yedasentience is defined as this subjective feeling of knowing that you have thought enough, cleaned enough or in other ways done what you should to prevent chaos and danger from low-level threats in the environment (Woody & Szechtman, 2011). As a consequence of these two factors, they are more likely to attempt thought suppression (Salkovskis, 1996). Consistent with this theory, people with OCD report engaging in thought suppression more than others do (Amir, Cashman, & Foa, 1997). a. Thought suppression. *b. Arousal. c. Yedasentience. d.

@ Learning Outcome 4.8: Summarise how the nature and severity of the trauma, as well as biological and psychological risk factors, contribute to whether trauma-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, develop. Like PTSD, acute stress disorder (ASD) is diagnosed when symptoms occur after a trauma.

Medial prefrontal cortex. b. (b) and (c). *e. (a), (b) and (c). 36. What coping strategies may leads to post-traumatic stress disorder? @ Learning Outcome 4.8: Summarise how the nature and severity of the trauma, as well as biological and psychological risk factors, contribute to whether trauma-related disorders develop. Several types of studies suggest that people who cope with a trauma by trying to avoid thinking about it are more likely than others to develop PTSD. *a. Avoidance. b. Problem solving. c. Emotional coping. d. Task-oriented coping. e. None of the above.

When is violence prediction more accurate? @ Learning Outcome 13.3: Delineate the conditions under which a person can be committed to a hospital under ‘civil commitment’, as well as discuss the difficulties associated with predicting dangerousness and the issues surrounding the rights to receive and refuse treatment. Research suggests that violence prediction is most accurate under the following conditions (Campbell, Stefan, & Loder, 1994; Monahan, 1984; Monahan & Steadman, 1994; Steadman et al., 1998): If a person has been repeatedly violent in the recent past, it is reasonable to predict that he or she will be violent in the near future unless there have been major changes in the person’s attitudes or environment. If violence is in the person’s distant past and if it was a single but very serious act and if that person has been incarcerated for a period of time, then violence can be expected on release if there is reason to believe that the person’s predetention personality and physical abilities have not changed and if the person is going to return to the same environment in which he or she was previously violent. Even with no history of violence, violence can be predicted if the person is judged to be on the brink of a violent act, for example, if the person is pointing a loaded gun at an occupied building. a. When a person has been repeatedly violent in the recent past. b. When a previous serious act has been committed and the person’s personality has not changed. c.
