Midterm #1 - Integration in Psychopathology Flashcards
1
Q
multidimensional integrative approach (5 aspects)
A
- biological
- psychological
- emotional
- social and interpersonal
- behavioural
2
Q
biological (multidimensional approach)
A
- genetics and neuroscience
3
Q
psychological (multidimensional approach)
A
- behaviours and cognitive processes
4
Q
emotional (multidimensional approach)
A
- emotional responses
- very complex
5
Q
social and interpersonal (multidimensional approach)
A
- interactions with others in society
6
Q
behavioural (multidimensional approach)
A
- conditioned response to stimulus
7
Q
the diathesis stress model
A
- why a disorder develops
- diathesis: inherited tendency for vulnerability to a disorder
- stressor: circumstance or experience in environment which creates stress and triggers development of disorder
8
Q
gene-environment correlation model
A
- genes could increase probability of experiencing stressful events
- individuals may impact their environment through their genes
9
Q
neurotransmitters
A
- increase/decrease something in brain
- messengers
10
Q
agonist
A
- increases activity of transmitter
11
Q
antagonist
A
- reduce or block neurotransmitters
12
Q
inverse agonist
A
(remember it exists)
13
Q
linear
A
trace origins of behaviour to a single cause
14
Q
glutamate and GABA
A
- neurotransmitters
- chemical brothers
- glutamate: excitatory, leads to action
- GABA: inhibitory, slows things down
15
Q
serotonin
A
- neurotransmitter
- regulation of our behaviour, moods, and thought processes
- 6 major circuits
16
Q
SSRI
A
- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
- used to treat anxiety, mood, and eating disorders
- inhibit serotonin from being taken back up
- positively impacts mood behaviour
17
Q
norepinephrine/noreadrenaline
A
- neurotransmitter
- fight or flight
- connected to panic
18
Q
dopamine
A
- major neurotransmitter
- connection to schizophrenia and addiction
19
Q
automatic processes
A
- function underneath our level of awareness
20
Q
effortful processes
A
- within our awareness, thinking
- processes we can track
21
Q
conditioning processes
A
- learning 2 things go together after seeing them paired
22
Q
learned helplessness
A
- we learn that nothing we do will impact our environment
- give up (can lead to depression)
- discovered in animals first
23
Q
learned optimism
A
- cognitive stage of optimistic thinking
- can still be realistic
- predicts longer life
24
Q
social learning theory
A
- Bandura
- learning from observing others or situations
- modelling and bobo doll experiment
25
3 steps of social learning
- attention
- retention
- reproduction
26
attention (social learning)
- noticing models behaviour
27
retention (social learning)
- remember model's behaviour
28
reproduction (social learning)
- exhibiting the models behaviour
- more likely to if rewarded than punished
29
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- targets automatic thoughts, attitudes, and behaviours that maintain disorders (depression/anxiety)
30
emotions
- behaviour motivators
- short in duration
- response to external event
31
3 components of emotions
- behaviour
- physiology
- cognition
32
mood
- long-lasting
- varieties of behaviours, cognitions, and emotions
33
social influences
- longer lifespan
- relationships protect against physical and psych disorders
- isolation increases risk of death
34
excitatory neurotransmitter
- increase likelihood that the connecting neuron will fire
35
inhibitory neurotransmitter
- decrease likelihood that the connecting neuron will fire
36
2 parts of the brain
- brain stem
- fore brain
37
the hindbrain and midbrain are a part of the ... ?
- brain stem
38
the limbic system, basal ganglia, and cerebral cortex are a part of the ... ?
- forebrain
39
the peripheral nervous system
- coordinates with brain stem to make sure body is working properly
- somatic nervous system
- autonomic nervous system
40
sympathetic nervous system
- mobilizes body during times of stress or danger
41
parasympathetic nervous system
- balance the sympathetic system
- normalizes arousal
