PSY100- Question Package-Test 1 with
100% accurate solutions + detailed
rationales
Introductory Psychology (PSY100H1)
Tips for Academic Performance
Prior to the test…
• Attend the live lecture (or watch the recording) and view the slide
pdfs. In rare cases, some content is emphasized strongly in the
lecture but not in the slide pdf.
• During your review of the lecture material:
• Focus on what is stated in lecture and what is written on the pdf
(instructor text). Most figures are included for interest; minor
details on figures will not be tested unless also covered in the lecture
or slide text.
• Of the lecture material, bolded terms and terms in the study notes
frequently appear on test.
• Assemble a brain structure-function chart as suggested in lecture 3.
In any question involving the brain or its function, you can use this
list. You’ll have to work in both directions (from structure to
function, from function to structure).
• When possible, try representing information in another way/space
(e.g. explain study designs with a diagram and with words).
• Organize the information in a way that is personal for you (i.e.
connect concepts in a lecture to personal stories that are easy for you
to recall).

• Testing yourself on the material, and explaining the material to
someone else, are particularly effective strategies.
• Complete your study guide independently. If you cannot answer a
question, or don’t like your answer, ask us for help. The earlier, the
better.
• Do your practice question packages (including this one here). A
portion of questions from the packages end up on tests.
During the test…
• In any question that involves an experiment, make sure to:
• Identify the relevant variables (e.g. independent and dependent)
• Ensure that proper control groups are used
• Identify the design (between, within, mixed, quasi-experimental…)
• Identify potential confounding variables or other issues (external
validity, reliability, reproducibility, placebo effect...) On written
answer questions:
• Make sure to refer to material covered in class using the language
from class (i.e. keywords). Provide sufficient detail. Give a
definition and an example.
• If you are confused by any questions, you can try asking us! In
certain cases, we can help.
• During a test, we can explain uncommon words for you (e.g.
latency, feasibility, prominent…). We cannot, however, explain
terms that are psychological concepts during the test (e.g.
construct, validity, statistical significance…).
PRACTICE QUESTIONS (Lectures 1 - 4)
Multiple Choice Questions (20)
1. An experimenter is examining the effects of different diets on stress levels
in University students. In this study, people are randomly placed in one
of four diet groups. Stress levels are measured by the experimenter before
and after the diet. Here, stress level would be considered a(n):
a. Independent variable
b. Dependent variable
c. Confounding variable
