Theory, are the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and the chronosystem.
3. Identify two of the new principles of learning that were introduced during the rise of
behaviorism in the 1900s.
Solution
AP
The development of evidence-based treatments for children, youths, and families can be traced
to the rise of behaviorism in the early 1900s. John Watson demonstrated the principles of
operant and classical conditioning with his famous Little Albert study.
Section 1.2
EX
1. True or False: The primary reason for defining psychological disorders is to allow professionals
to efficiently use labels to describe individuals.
Solution
False: Terms used to describe psychopathology are meant to define behavior, not to be used as
SO
labels to describe individuals.
2. Define the study of psychological disorders.
Solution
The study of psychological disorders involves attempts to describe the mental health concerns,
LU
to understand contributing causes, and to treat or prevent them.
3. Describe the difference between multifinality and equifinality.
Solution
TI
Developmental pathways help describe the course and nature of child development;
multifinality means that various outcomes may stem from similar beginnings, whereas
equifinality means that similar outcomes stem from different early experiences.
O
Section 1.3
1. List at least three factors that can disrupt a child’s healthy development.
N
Solution
Children’s healthy development may be put in jeopardy because of risk factors, which can
S
include acute, stressful situations and chronic adversity.
2. Define resiliency.
Solution
2
, Solution and Answer Guide: Eric J. Mash, David A. Wolfe, Katherine Nguyen Williams, Child Psychopathology, 2024, 9780357796580

LU
2. Define ACEs and how they impact a child’s physical development.
Solution
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with chronic health problems, substance
use challenges, and mental illness, and negatively impact individuals in areas such as education,
TI
job opportunities, and earning potential.
CHAPTER 2
O
Section 2.1
1. Identify at least three systems that impact child development, according to the ecological
N
perspective.
Solution
S
Within the ecological perspective (Bronfenbrenner, 1979), child development is impacted by
multiple systems, such as home, neighborhood, and school. Biological factors include genetic
and neurobiological contributors, among others.
2. In the cognitive model, what is the primary factor that impacts a child’s emotional or behavioral
response?
