2. In the context of Kuhn's work, how does a paradigm influence the
direction of psychological research?
A paradigm dictates the ethical standards for psychological
research.
A paradigm limits the scope of research to only historical
perspectives.
A paradigm encourages researchers to focus solely on
quantitative data.
A paradigm shapes the questions researchers ask and the
methods they use to find answers.
3. Describe the significance of the statement 'The whole is different than
the sum of its parts' in the context of Gestalt psychology.
,This statement emphasizes that perception and experience
cannot be fully understood by analyzing individual components
alone.
, This statement suggests that all parts of a system are equal in
importance.
This statement implies that individual experiences are irrelevant to
understanding the whole.
This statement indicates that human behavior is solely based on
biological factors.
4. Describe how Tolman's intervening variable equation illustrates the
relationship between stimuli and responses in behavior.
The equation implies that intervening variables are irrelevant to
understanding behavior.
The equation indicates that responses are solely based on stimuli
without any psychological factors.
The equation suggests that responses are random and not
influenced by stimuli.
The equation shows that a stimulus combined with an
intervening variable leads to a specific response.
5. Describe the role of 'Construct Systems' in George Kelly's theory of
personal constructs.
Construct Systems refer to the biological processes involved in
cognition.
Construct Systems are fixed beliefs that do not change over time.
Construct Systems are frameworks that individuals use to
interpret experiences and predict future events, helping to
reduce uncertainty.
Construct Systems are unrelated to psychological theories.
6. What term does Kuhn use to describe a framework that defines research
problems and solutions?
, Theory
Paradigm
Model
Hypothesis
7. Who are the three key figures credited with founding Gestalt

8. May refers to the fact that humans are both the objects and subjects of
experience as the:
existential conflict
human dilemma
source of all human problems
mind-body problem
9. Which statement is most consistent with the Gestalt psychology point of
view?
We perceive our environment through separate but equal senses.
The world is best understood by breaking it down into individual
elements.
Where one sense is lost, another is gained.
The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
