SECTION REVIEW ANSWERS

CHAPTER 1
Section 1.1

1. What was John Locke’s perspective on how children should be treated?

Solution

Locke believed in individual rights, and he expressed the novel opinion that children should be
raised with thought and care instead of indifference and harsh treatment.

2. List the interactive systems that impact child development, according to the Ecological Systems
Theory.

Solution

The interactive systems that impact child development, according to the Ecological Systems
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

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

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
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,
to understand contributing causes, and to treat or prevent them.

3. Describe the difference between multifinality and equifinality.

Solution

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.

Section 1.3

1. List at least three factors that can disrupt a child’s healthy development.

Solution

Children’s healthy development may be put in jeopardy because of risk factors, which can
include acute, stressful situations and chronic adversity.

2. Define resiliency.

, Solution and Answer Guide: Eric J. Mash, David A. Wolfe, Katherine Nguyen Williams, Child Psychopathology, 2024, 9780357796580

Solution

Resiliency is the process and outcome of effectively adapting to challenging life experiences and
is related to the way the child views and engages with the world, the availability and quality of
social resources, and the continual development of effective coping strategies.

Section 1.4

1. N/A

Solution

N/A

2. N/A

Solution

N/A

Section 1.5

1. List at least two factors that impact children who are disproportionately affected by mental
health concerns.

Solution

Children who experience more social and economic disadvantage or inequality and children
exposed to more violent, inadequate, or chronically stressful environments are
disproportionately impacted with mental health concerns.

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,
job opportunities, and earning potential.


CHAPTER 2
Section 2.1

1. Identify at least three systems that impact child development, according to the ecological
perspective.

Solution

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?

Solution

In the cognitive model, people’s emotions and behaviors are affected by their perceptions of
events; thus, it is not the situation itself that leads to how people respond emotionally, but
rather, it is the way they perceive or interpret the situation.

3. Describe an example of a biological factor in child development.

Solution

Fears and anxiety are examples of biological factors that influence development. They are
affected by levels of stress hormones circulating in the body—are more likely to have parents
who had similar behavioral health concerns during childhood.

Section 2.2

1. What is the purpose of having a theory, or case conceptualization, of human behavior?

Solution

A theory allows us to make educated guesses and predictions about behavior that are based on
existing knowledge, and it allows us to explore these possible explanations empirically.

2. Identify the three assumptions of child development.

Solution

Three underlying assumptions about child development are stressed: It is multiply determined,
the child and the environment are interdependent, and maladaptive development involves
continuities and discontinuities of behavior patterns over time.

3. Define epigenetics.

Solution

Epigenetics is defined as the study of how behaviors and environment can cause changes that
affect the way an individual’s genes work.

Section 2.3

1. Define adaptational failure.

Solution

Adaptational failure is the failure to master or progress in accomplishing specific developmental
milestones.

2. Explain how sensitive periods affect child development.

Solution

, Solution and Answer Guide: Eric J. Mash, David A. Wolfe, Katherine Nguyen Williams, Child Psychopathology, 2024, 9780357796580

Sensitive periods are windows of time during which environmental influences on development,
both good and bad, are enhanced.

Section 2.4

1. What is neural plasticity?

Solution

Neural plasticity, or malleability, means the brain’s anatomical differentiation is use-dependent:
Nature provides the basic processes, whereas nurture provides the experiences needed to
select the most adaptive network of connections, based on the use and function of each.

2. What is epigenetics?

Solution

Gene–environment interactions (G×E) explain how the environment shapes our genotype
through a process known as “epigenetics.”

Section 2.5

1. Identify the three dimensions of temperament.

Solution

1. Positive affect and approach. This dimension describes the “easy child,” who is generally
approachable and adaptive to their environment and possesses the ability to regulate basic
functions of eating, sleeping, and elimination relatively smoothly. 2. Fearful or inhibited. This
dimension describes the “slow-to-warm-up child,” who is cautious in their approach to novel or
challenging situations. Such children are more variable in self-regulation and adaptability and
may show distress or negativity toward some situations. 3. Negative affect or irritability. This
dimension describes the “difficult child,” who is predominantly negative or intense in mood, not
very adaptable, and arrhythmic. Some children with this temperament show distress when
faced with novel or challenging situations, and others are prone to general distress or irritability,
including when limitations are placed on them.

2. Explain the role of emotional reactivity and regulation in child development.

Solution

Emotion reactivity and regulation are critical aspects of early and subsequent development,
affecting the quality of children’s social interactions and relationships throughout their life span.

3. List the three major behavioral approaches to child psychopathology.

Solution

Three major approaches to child psychopathology, based on principles of learning, are applied
behavior analysis, principles of classical conditioning, and social learning and social cognition
theories. Social learning and social cognition theories place more significance on cognitive
processes than overt behavior.

Section 2.6

1. Define shared vs nonshared environment as it relates to environmental influences.

Solution

Shared environment refers to environmental factors that produce similarities in developmental
outcomes among siblings in the same family. Nonshared environment, which refers to
environmental factors that produce behavioral differences among siblings, can then be
calculated by subtracting the MZ twin correlation from 1.0.

2. Define attachment.

Solution

Attachment refers to the process of establishing and maintaining an emotional bond with
parents or other significant individuals. This process is ongoing, typically beginning between 6
and 12 months of age, and provides infants with a secure, consistent base from which to explore
and learn about their world.

3. True/False: The family systems perspective is becoming more mainstream and regarded within
the context of child psychopathology.

Solution

True: Child psychopathology research has increasingly focused on the role of the family system,
the complex relationships within families, and the reciprocal influences among various family
subsystems.

accessible website, in whole or in part.

, Solution and Answer Guide: Eric J. Mash, David A. Wolfe, Katherine Nguyen Williams, Child Psychopathology, 2024, 9780357796580

1. Describe one advantage and one disadvantage to the proliferation of podcasts, blogs, and
videos on mental health concerns.

Solution

One advantage is the overall reduction of stigma. One disadvantage is misinformation.

2. What are common aspects of scientific process?

Solution

Scientific consensus, peer-review process, hypothesis testing.

3. True/False: Facilitated communication is pseudoscience.

Solution

True. Critics of FC view the method as quackery—no different from a Ouija board.

Section 3.2

1. Outline the multistage research process.

Solution

Generate hypotheses, devise an overall plan, select measures, develop research designs and
procedures, gather and analyze data, and interpret the results.

2. Describe how the nature and distribution of childhood mental health concerns are addressed
through epidemiological research.

Solution

Epidemiological research into the incidence and prevalence of childhood disorders and
competencies in clinic-referred and community samples.

3. List three common research topics in child psychopathology.

Solution

Risk and protective factors and causes, moderating and mediating variables, and interventions
for childhood disorders.

Section 3.3

1. List at least three examples of self-report and informant-report methods of assessment.

Solution

Unstructured clinical interviews, structured clinical interviews, and questionnaires.

2. Identify one disadvantage of the observation methods of assessment.

Solution

The child and/or parent/caregiver may change their behavior when being observed

Section 3.4

1. Explain how to distinguish between nonexperimental and experimental research.

Solution

The degree to which the investigator can manipulate the experimental variable, or alternatively,
must rely on examining the covariation of variables of interest.

2. Define prospective research.

Solution

A sample is followed over time, with data collected at specified intervals.

Section 3.5

1. Outline the ethical standards and procedures that protect children and families in research
studies.

Solution

Informed consent and assent, voluntary participation, confidentiality and anonymity, and
nonharmful procedures.

2. Describe how researchers ensure that research on child psychopathology meets ethical
standards.

Solution

Researchers seek advice from colleagues and have their research evaluated by institutional
ethics review committees. The final responsibility for the ethical integrity of any research project
is with the investigator.


CHAPTER 4
Section 4.1

1. What are the three factors described in the text that define childhood disorders?

Solution

Age, gender, and culture influence how children’s symptoms and behavior are expressed and
recognized, and have implications for selecting the most appropriate methods of assessment
and treatment.

2. Define cultural humility.
