13
Q
Herzberg’s Two-factor Theory
A
(Motivator-hygiene theory) Low level needs -basic job context (hygiene factors), little effect on satisfaction but produces dissatisfaction when not met Vs High level needs - job enrichment and enlargement
Job enrichment – expanding responsibility and autonomy
o Increases satisfaction and performance
o Decreased turnover and absenteeism
Job enlargement – expanding variety of job tasks without increasing responsibility or autonomy
o Increases satisfaction and only slightly increases job performance
14
Q
Patterson’s Coercion Model of Aggression
A
3 steps that lead towards delinquency
1) children learn to be aggressive by observing coercive and antisocial behavior in parents. A cycle of escalating coerciveness ensues
2) the child with conduct problems experiences academic failure and peer rejection
3) the child then experiences a depressed mood and is more likely to join a deviant peer group
15
Q
James-Lange vs Cannon-Bard Theories of Emotion
A
James-Lange: Idea that a person perceives an event (sees a bear), the body reacts (person runs away), and the person interprets the bodily changes as specific emotion (so I must be afraid)
Cannon-Bard: Proposes that perception of an emotion-provoking stimulus (sees a bear), the thalamus sends simultaneous signals to the body (allowing the person to run) and the cortex (produces the emotion of fear); the body’s response is not a necessity or factor in emotion
16
Q
Racial/Cultural Identity Development Model
A
Stage 1: Conformity – preference for dominant culture
Stage 2: Dissonance – appreciation for minority culture/questioning dominant culture (some conflict)
Stage 3: Resistance (immersion) – complete endorsement of minority culture and rejection of dominant culture
Stage 4: Introspection – deeper analysis of minority and dominant culture; rigidly held beliefs weaken
Stage 5: Synergetic Articulation and Awareness (integrative awareness) – ability to appreciate one’s own culture, dominant culture, and other cultures
17

Premack Principle
A
Frequently performed behavior is used to reinforce an infrequently performed behavior (e.g., play video game after studying!!)
18

A
Proactive: occurs when previously learned information interferes with recall of newly learned information
Retroactive: occurs when newly learned information interferes with previously learned information
19
Q
Carol Gilligan’s Theory of Moral Development
A
- Argued for two basic approaches to moral reasoning: justice/fairness (males > females) and caring (females > males). Developed a model for women:
Level 1: Orientation of Individual Survival – focus on self needs
Level 2: Goodness of Self-sacrifice – focus on other’s needs
Level 3: Morality of nonviolence – belief that no one should be hurt; more balance between self and other needs
20
Q

(AKA latent trait theory)
- Used to calculate to what extent a specific item on a test correlates with an underlying construct
- Can be used to compare a subject’s performance on two measures that have different types or number of items, or are scored differently
21
Q
Tolman’s Latent Learning
A
- Idea that a behavior can be learned by will only be exhibited at a later time when the behavior is reinforced
- Found that rats developed “cognitive maps” of the mazes, thereby learning how to successfully run them, even though they would only demonstrate this learning when reinforcement was offered
22
Q
Thorndike’s Law of Effect
A
- Operant conditioning
- Proposes that people repeat behaviors that have positive consequences
23
Q
Instrumental Learning
A
- Another term for operant conditioning
- Associated with Thorndike and Skinner
24
Q

25
Consultation (4 types)
- Consultee-centered administrative consultation: focus on employee’s attitudes towards a new program
- Program-centered administrative consultation: focus is on the program itself
- Consultee-centered case consultation: focus is on the consultee on his/her difficulties with patients

33
Aversive Conditioning/Therapy
- Behavioral technique that is occasionally used in the treatment of addictive behaviors
- An aversive unconditioned stimulus (e.g., bad taste) is paired with a conditioned stimulus (e.g., smoking). The goal is that the unconditioned response (e.g., unpleasant feelings) to the aversive stimulus (bad taste) will eventually become the new response to smoking, replacing the previous conditioned response of pleasure
34
Attribution Bias:
- Fundamental Attribution Bias
- Actor-observer Bias
- Self-Serving (hedonic) Bias
- Fundamental Attribution Bias = (others) attribute Bx of others to internal rather than external
- Actor-observer Bias = (self and others) idea that people tend to make dispositional (internal) attributions about the behavior they observe in others but make situational (external) attributions about their own behavior
- Self-Serving (hedonic) Bias = (self) explain our success to internal and our failure to external factors
35
Marlatt’s Model of Relapse Prevention
- Minimize effects of relapsing by teaching recovering addicts to view them as inevitable experiences which can be learned from
- Part of this model also includes encouraging addicts to attribute relapses to external factors rather than internal factors
- High risk factors are identified for relapses and new methods for dealing with them are developed
36
Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development
Preconventional (ages 4 to 10)
o Emphasis: compliance with rules to avoid punishment and get rewards; People act out of self-interest

Conventional (>10)
o Emphasis: conforming to rules to get approval from others
3. Good boy/girl: gaining approving through obedience
4. Law and Order: doing one’s duty/maintain social order
Postconventional/morality of autonomous moral principles (13+, young adulthood, or never)
o Emphasis: recognition that there are conflicts between moral and socially accepted standards
5. Morality of Contact, Individual Rights, and Democratically Accepted Laws: value of the will of the majority/welfare of all
6. Morality of Individual Principles of Conscience: based on what the individual believes is right, regardless of legal restrictions or other’s opinions
37

44
Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis
Idea that the language people use actually shapes the way they think
45
Job Analysis vs Job Evaluation
JA = clarify requirements of job

47
Hiring Biases:
- Adverse Impact
- Differential Validity
- Unfairness
AI: 80% rule in hiring minorities
DV: when measure is valid for one group but not another. In other words, predictor and criterion do not correlate for one group BUT they do for another group
Unfairness: when one group obtain lower scores on predictor than another group BUT no different in scores on the criterion
48
Needs Assessment (Needs Analysis)
1) identify organizational goals and if training is needed to meet goals
2) job (task) analysis to identify what must be done to perform the job successfully
3) person analysis to identify employees that require training

Three needs:
1) achievement (nACH)
2) power (pACH)
3) affiliation (aACH)
54
Fiedler’s Contingency Theory
Leadership effectiveness is result of interaction between leader’s style and favorability of situation
Least preferred coworker (LPC)
-low LPC = evaluates lowest worker as unfavorable; task oriented and interested in goal achievement
-high LPC = evaluates lowest coworker as favorable; relationship oriented and interested with maintaining support/trust
Low LPC performs best at poles (best and worst scenario is) while high LPC performs best in middle
55
Gate Control Theory
Melzak- theory of pain
Not related to receptors but rather pain is mediated by neural gates in the spinal cord that allow these signals to continue to the brain.
Gates can close (e.g., rubbing area) or open more (e.g., psychological factors).

60
Self-Control Model of Depression
Developed by Rehm
Integrates cognitive and behavioral models of depression. Depression results from low rate of behavior from: 1) lack of self-reinforcement and 2) negative self evaluations, 3) high rates of self-punishment.
61

Structured Tx for borderline PD. Concepts of "acceptance" and "change"
Typically involves individual, group (skills training), phone contact, and therapist-consultation
63
Freud's 3 part theory of personality
Id: Most primitive, basic biological drives. Largely unconscious (present in dreams). Operates on pleasure principle
Ego: Operates on reality principle and defer gratification. Largely modified by external world. "executive control"
Superego: Individual's conscious, ideal, moral code. Forces Ego to satisfy Id in a moral/ethical way.
64
Freud's 2 kinds of mental function
Primary Process: dreams or hallucinations (id)
Secondary Process: ability to think, speak, and meet demands of reality (ego)
65
Defense Mechanisms
- Repression
- Regression
- Projection
- Displacement
- Reaction Formation
- Intellectualize
- Rationalization
- Sublimation
When the ego cannot control the id in rational ways... calls upon defense mechanisms (to prevent us from become aware of hidden id impulses)
Repression: involves forcing disturbing impulses out of consciousness (underlies all other defensives)
Regression: involves regressing to earlier stage
Projection: involves seeing one's unconscious urges in another's behavior (paranoia!!!)
Displacement: Involves transference of emotions from the original object to some substitute/symbol representation (underlies phobias).
Reaction Formation: Involves engaging in behaviors exactly opposite of our true feelings.
Intellectualization: Involves distancing one self from one's feelings
Rationalization: Involves coming up with self-satisfying (yet incorrect) reasons for one's behavior
Sublimation: Involves redirecting urges in socially acceptable ways (e.g., painting violent scenes).
66

CU has archetypes (primordial images/ideas inherited from all members of the race)
- persona (social mask)
- shadow (one’s hidden aspects)
- anima (female aspect)
- animus (male aspect)
Neurosis stems from the struggle to free oneself from archetypes
Treatment involves gaining awareness of unconscious (to gain individuation).
73
Perls’ Gestalt Therapy
- introjection
- projection
- retroflection
- deflection
- confluence
Focuses on client becoming aware of their whole personality by discovering aspects of self that are blocked from awareness. Treatment involves improving communication with self and others.
Resistance to contact OR boundary disturbances include:
- Introjection: taking information in whole, resulting in overly compliant and gullible
- Projection: you know
- Retroflection: turning back on self what hey would like to do to others

76
Frame-of-Reference (FOR) Training
Used to improve the accuracy of performance ratings.
Provides raters with common performance standards (references) to help raters become clear on what constitutes “good” and “bad” behavior.
Improves agreement with raters and may reduce error

Normal Infantile Autism: (0-1 month) unaware of external world
Symbiosis: (2-4 m) baby and mother are "one"
Differentiation: (5-10 m) distinguishes self from others; stranger anxiety begins
Practicing: (10-16 m) can physically separate self from mother (e.g., crawls); separation anxiety begins
Rapprochement: (16-24 m) increased need for mother to share the child's new skills/exp
Object Constancy: (24-36 m) ability to maintain image of mother when she is not present; can unify good and bad into whole representation
113
Bowlby's Attachment Theory
Theory of attachment for newborns; described a predictable sequence of Bx when separated from mother.
1) Protest: When separated initially, child protests/crys for lost person
2) Despair: As separation continues, child shows signs of hopelessness
3) Detachment: Child emotionally separates self from mother
Argued that early disruption of attachment bond led to irreversible effects BUT recent evidence suggests that it is reversible is child later receives good quality of care
114
Continuous vs Intermittent Reinforcement
Continuous = reinforcement given every time Bx occurs (best for acquisition phase BUT susceptible to satiation and extinction)
Intermittent = reinforcement is not given every time Bx occurs (Fixed/Variable and Interval/Ratio)
Changing from Continuous to Intermittent is referred to as thinning (ideal!)
115
Reciprocal Determinism
Social Learning Theory
Idea that one's behavior is regulated by the person, his/her behavior, and the environment
116
Bandura Observational Learning
Four steps
- attention (attending to model)
- retention (remembering what is seen/heard)
- production (reproducing the memory during imitation)
- motivation (reinforcement for accurate performance)
117
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
Used for severe depression, Tx-resistant bipolar, acute psychosis, or catatonia
Helps up to 85% of patients who are Tx-resistant
-Rapid relief (usually after 1-2 sessions)
Anterograde amnesia (typically resolves after a few weeks) and retrograde amnesia (takes longer to resolve)
Bilateral causes more memory impairment than unilateral ECT
118
VIE vs Equity Theory
General Expectancy Theory (AKA Valence-Instrumentality-Expectancy) = idea that people behave in ways that are based on perceived expectancy of awards. Three concepts:
- expectancy = expectancy of success on a task
- instrumentality = anticipation of award
- valence = value of the reward for an employee
Equity = idea that we examine the self-inputs/self-outcomes verses others' inputs/other's outcomes. A social comparison theory -> inequity leads to lowered motivation
119
Job-related Factors that effect motivation and satisfaction
>Human Factors Approach
>Psychological Approach
Human Factors Approach = concerned with physical aspects of the job; focus on how humans and machines work together to accomplish a job
Psychological Approach = assumes that efficiency and effectiveness are correlated with satisfaction, and that satisfaction allows people to meet self-actualization needs. Includes...
- job enlargement (increases satisfaction)
- job enrichment (increases satisfaction and performance)
120
Types of Research:
```
Experimental
vs
Quasi-experimental
vs
Non-experimental
```
Experimental: random assignment
Quasi-experimental: non-random assignment; involves pre-existing groups
Non-experimental: (AKA observational or passive) no intervention or manipulation; sometimes called correlational
121
Research Design: Groups
```
Between Groups
vs
Within Subjects
vs
Mixed
```
Between Groups: groups measured once; compared
Within Subjects: groups measured repeatedly and compared
Mixed: independent groups that are correlated (and measured repeatedly)
122
```
Sampling Procedures:
>Simple Random
>Stratified Random
>Proportional
>Systematic
>Cluster
```
>Simple Random: every member of population has equal chance
>Stratified Random: population first divided into strata (e.g., age levels) then random/equal selection from each sample
>Proportional: individuals are randomly selected in proportion to their representation in general population (e.g., ethnicity/race)
>Systematic: selecting every Xth (e.g., every 10th)
>Cluster: identify naturally occurring groups (clusters) and randomly selecting certain clusters (e.g., classes at school within a specific district)
123
```
Threats to Internal Validity:
>History
>Maturation
>Practice effects
>Instrumentation
>Statistical Regression
>Selection Bias
>Attrition/Experimental Morality
>Diffusion
```
>History: anything occurring between measuring times
>Maturation: subjects changing over time
>Practice effects: familiarity with testing
>Instrumentation: changes in obs. or equipment
>Statistical Regression: regression of extreme scores to mean
>Selection Bias: due to non-random assignment
>Attrition/Experimental Morality: differential loss of subjects from group
>Diffusion: when no-Tx group gets some of Tx (clouding overall Tx effects)
124
```
Threats to Construct Validity:
>Attention/Contact with Clients
>Experimental Expectancies
>Demand Characteristics
>John Henry Effect
```
>Attention/Contact with Clients: concern if change is due to Tx or contact with therapist
>Experimental Expectancies: AKA Rosenthal effect (controlled by blinding researchers)
>Demand Characteristics: Factors that suggest how participants should behave (controlled by blinding participants)
>John Henry Effect: AKA compensatory rivalry; occurs when persons in control group try harder than usual (spirit of the competition!)
125
Threats to External Validity:
>Sample Characteristics
>Stimulus Characteristics
>Contextual Factors
>Sample Characteristics: differences between sample and population (e.g., HMRI highly educated sample)
>Stimulus Characteristics: when artificial research environment does not translate to real world
>Contextual Factors: refers to conditions in which Tx is imbedded (e.g., Hawthorne effect)
126
Calculating Shared Variability of a Correlation
(AKA Coefficient of Determination) Simply involves squaring the correlation coefficient.
r = .50 (or .5 squared) would equal .25 shared variability between X and Y
If you are given the shared variability, you need to square root the value to get the correlation.
127
Canonical R and Canonical Analysis
(Extension of multiple R) Correlation between two or more IVs and two or more DVs
Allows you to evaluate relationship between two sets of variables (the predictor set and criterion set)
128
Redintegration
Occurs when something (e.g., a smell from childhood) rapidly unlocks a chain of memories
129
```
IQ Theories:
Spearman
vs
Thurstone
vs
Cattell-Horn-Carroll
vs
Gardner
vs
Sternberg
```
Spearman = overall IQ "g factor"
Thurstone = seven distinct primary abilities
Cattell-Horn-Carroll = Three-level strata (III = g; II = 10 broad; I = 70 narrow abilities); fluid vs crystal here too
Gardner's Multiple Intelligences = 8 distinct (includes things like musical, bodily-kinesthetic, etc.)
Sternberg's Triarchic Theory = Focuses on processes rather than product; three components (internal, capacity to adopt environ changes, and ability to apply past exp to problem solving)
130
Ellen Berscheid's Theories on Relationships
Studies relationships. Contends that people underestimate the effects of external factors (e.g., physical and social environment) on relationship satisfaction
131
Tiedman and O'hara's Theory on Successful Career Development
Focuses on the process of differentiation and integration
>Differentiation = making distinctions about the different aspects of one's self and the environment
>Integration = refers to unifying these factors; results in making better decisions, making more refined goals, and developing more useful plans
132
Intrinsic/Extrinsic
vs
Internal/External
Intrinsic/Extrinsic = motivation
Internal/External = locus of control
133
Quality Control Circles (QCCs)
Goal: to improve the finished product and low level of production
Methods involve increasing workers' responsibility for their work, as well as increasing their participation in decisions affecting their work. QCCs typically affect only their organizational unit (dept) and not the whole company. Typically consists of 7-10 employees from the same dept.
134
Extinction
Classical: withholding US (e.g., ring bell without meat powder)
Operant: Withholding reinforcement
Other facts:
-not advised in self-injurious Bx (since no immediate reduction)
135
Incompetence to Stand Trial
| vs Insanity
Insanity: not competent at time of crime (M'Naghten rule in 1843)
Incompetence to stand trial refers to the defendant being unable understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings. Law indicates that defendant must receive Tx aimed at restoring Fn so the defendant can stand trial
136
Multifinality
vs
Equilfinaltiy
Multifinality: refers to phenomenon that similar initial conditions (e.g., abuse) may result in different outcomes (e.g., PTSD vs no PTSD)
Equilfinaltiy: opposite ^
137
Sexual Orientation Identity Development
1) Confusion
2) Comparison (feelings of alienation)
3) Tolerance (homosexuality is tolerated)
4) Acceptance (homosexuality is valid)
5) Pride (heterosexuality is devalued and homosexuality preferred)
6) Synthesis (sexual orientation is integrated)
138
Reciprocal Inhibition
Idea that two incompatible responses (e.g., fear and relaxation) cannot occur at the same time
Concept underlies counterconditioning
139
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
a form of brief therapy (12-16 session... super brief...) for Tx of depression
- Focus on current relationships/conflicts since interpersonal problems are commonly associated with acute depression
- often combined with antidepressants
140
```
Word Association
vs
Pegboard System
vs
Method of Loci
vs
Substitute Word System
```
Word Association: forming words/sentences with the first letter being memorized (acronyms) OR making up a story
Pegboard System: involves memorizing a set of visual images that can later be pegs on which to have ideas (one bun, two show... etc.)
Method of Loci: involves forming a mental image of a walk through of a certain location (puts visual images in environment)
Substitute Word System: break down word to be remembered in parts and substitutes words that are familiar and can be visualized
141
```
Kinesics
vs
Proxemics
vs
Paralanguage
```
Kinesics: bodily movements involved in communication (e.g., facial exp, gestures, physical contact)
Proxemics: refers to perception and use of personal space (e.g., standing too close!!)
Paralanguage: refers to vocal cues (e.g., loudness, pauses, rates of speech, silences, inflections)
142
Successful lawsuits of psychologists involve...
Dereliction of Duty Directly causing Damage
Dereliction: negligence
Duty: therapeutic relationship
Directly causing Damage: something the therapist did (e.g., Tx) directly causing harm
143
Biserial Coefficient
vs
Phi/Tetrachoric Coefficient
Biserial: A correlation coefficient used when one variable is continuous (i.e., interval or ratio data) and one variable is dichotomous (e.g., nominal)
Phi/Tetrachoric: A coefficient used when both variables are dichotomous
144
Diathesis-Stress Model of mental illness
Posits that mental illness results from combo of natural biological/genetic vulnerability (e.g., diathesis) and nurture aka a person's life circumstances (e.g., stress)
-frequently used to explain development of schizophrenia
145
Banding (used in personnel selection)
process whereby a range of scores by numerous applicants on a test is essentially considered the same score (e.g., range of 100 to 109 are considered one unit for selection purposes)
146
```
Leadership Theories:
>Normative Model (Vroom & Yetton)
>Path-Goal Theory (House)
>Contingency Theory (Fielder)
>Vertical Dyadic Linkage Theory (Graen)
```
>Normative Model (Vroom & Yetton): five styles, ranging from autocratic to complete participation; best leadership style depends on situation
>Path-Goal Theory (House): involves ways in which leaders can help employees achieve their goals (4 styles); best leadership style depends on subordinates AND situation
>Contingency Theory (Fielder): involves effectiveness of the style based on type of leader and nature of situation (LPC stuff)
>Vertical Dyadic Linkage Theory (Graen): focuses on impact of the leader-subordinate relationship on the leadership process ('leadership' style with in-group subordinates; 'supervisory' style with out-group subordinates)
147
Match each Theory (for each, first step is experience of autonomic arousal)
1) THEN emotional reaction
2) AND an emotional reaction (simultaneous)
3) THEN cognitively interprets arousal AND experiences an emotion
1) James-Lange Theory of Emotions
2) Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotions
3) Schacter's Two-Factor Theory
148
Heinz Hartmann
(Ego psychologist)
considered the "father" of ego psychology
ego viewed as parallel to id. In other words, people are driven by both thinking and impulses.
149
Anna Freud
Noted that ego was a medium to get a fuller picture of id and superego.
Ego has inherent ability to reconcile drive conflicts with the demands of reality
Worked with children -> interpreted their words (rather than play) to get at the unconscious
150
Erik Erikison
Discussed epic-genetic sequences (Stage-related based on mastery of previous stage).
His stage theory is based on the premise that development occurs in response to social crises.
151
Berne's Transactional Analysis (TA)
Goal: for clients to become aware of the intent behind their communication AND to eliminate deceit so clients can interpret their own Bx accurately.
Key concepts: ego states, transactions, games, strokes, life scripts
152
Psychodynamic Family Theory (and Object Relations Family Therapy)
Psychodynamic: Focuses on freeing family members from unconscious drives. Includes:
- Martial Schism = discord/disequilibrium
- Marital Skew = focus on meeting one member's needs at the expense of another family member's needs
Object Relations: branch of Psychodynamic. Focuses on transferences and projections between couples/family members
153
Positive vs Negative Feedback Loops (Family Therapy)
Positive FL = creates change (good or bad)
Negative = maintains or keeps things the same
154
Haley's Strategic Family Therapy
Combo of Structural (hierarchies) and Communication (interactions between family) approaches
Tx focuses on interrupting rigid feedback cycle and defining a clear hierarchy
155
Attitudes: Consistency Theories
>Balance Theory
>Symmetry Theory
>Congruity Theory
>Cognitive Dissonance
>Balance Theory: idea that attitudes change when two people have differing opinions; people will either change their attitude or belief
>Symmetry Theory: extends balance theory; the stronger the relationship between the people leads to a more intense imbalance
>Congruity Theory: further extends balance theory; reflects if attitudes will change -> basically whichever is stronger (friendship or belief) will be retained
>Cognitive Dissonance: proposes that people change their attitudes to reduce aversion arousal they would experience if they become aware of inconsistency in their cognition (e.g., low reward for boring task led to greater interest than high reward folks).
156
Vygotsky's Social Development Theory of Cognition
Zone of Proximal Development = target developmental level just above child's current Fn. Lead to ideas of...
- Scaffolding
- Reciprocal teaching
157
Adolescent Thinking
>Personal Fable
>Imaginary Audience
>Personal Fable - belief that one is special (cannot be harmed)
>Imaginary Audience - belief that everyone is thinking about the same thing they are thinking about (e.g., themselves)
158
Gender Role Development (3 stages)
Gender Roles: refers to societal expectations being male or female (developed from birth)
Gender Identity: individual's perception of himself or herself (usually achieved by age 3)
Gender Constancy: attainment of recognition that gender does not change with dress or behavior (usually achieved by age 5 or 6)
159
```
Adolescent Identity Formation
>Achievement
>Foreclosure
>Moratorium
>Diffusion
```
>Achievement = resolved crisis and made a commitment
>Foreclosure = committed to goal without exploring all options (sometimes forced upon them)
>Moratorium = active process of struggling to make a decision, exploring interests and needs
>Diffusion = individuals who lack direction and are not committed
