Question: 127. Which of the following is a non-stimulant medication that alleviates inattention
and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms in AD/HD?
A. methylphenidate
B. atomoxetine
C. pemoline
D. dextroamphetamine - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔B
( In November 2002, the Food and Drug Administration -FDA- approved a new medication called
atomoxetine -Strattera- specifically for AD/HD. This medication is neither a stimulant nor an
antidepressant. It alleviates inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms of AD/HD by
affecting specific aspects of the norepinephrine system. This medication is a reuptake inhibitor
that acts on the neurotransmitter norepinephrine -which affects blood pressure and blood flow-
in the same way that antidepressants act on the neurotransmitter seratonin, allowing the
natural chemical to remain longer in the brain before being drawn back up. Because it is a non-
stimulant, it may be less objectionable to some families. Nevertheless, it has similar side effects
as other medications used for AD/HD. It is a prescription medication, but it is not a controlled
substance like a stimulant. This allows medical professionals to give samples and to place refills
on the prescriptions. It does not start working as quickly as the stimulants do. Reports suggest
that the full effects are often not seen until the person has been taking atomoxetine regularly

for 3 or 4 weeks. Methylphenidate -a.-, i.e., Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, pemoline -c.-, i.e.,
Cylert -less commonly prescribed because it can cause liver damage-, and dextroamphetamine -
d.-, i.e., Dexedrine, Dextrostat, along with amphetamines, i.e., Adderall are four main types of
stimulants used for the treatment of AD/HD.)
Question: 128. A percentage score, as opposed to a percentile rank, is based on:
A. Total number of items
B. An examinee's score in comparison to other examinee's scores
C. That there are one hundred test items
D. The number of items answered correctly - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔D
(A percentage score indicates the number of items answered correctly. A percentile rank
compares one examinee's score with all other examinee's scores.)
Question: 129. Michael Rutter, a key figure in the field of developmental psychopathology,
notes that parental divorce does not have the same effects on all children. According to Rutter,
such differences are related to:
A. the child's cognitive understanding of the causes of the divorce.
B. the child's early social interactions, especially interactions with his or her parents.
C. the nature of the parents' relationship following the divorce.
D. the custodial parent's social support and financial status. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔B

(Rutter and others interested in developmental psychopathology have attempted to identify the
factors that account for the continuities and discontinuities in child psychopathology. Rutter has
focused primarily on variations in social relationships that act as high risk or protective factors.)
Question: 130. An individual is most likely to show theta waves on an EEG recording during
which of the following?
A. lightly sleeping
B. lying in bed awake with eyes closed
C. conversing with someone
D. taking a test - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔A
( Electroencephalogram -EEG- or neurofeedback provides information on brainwave activity and
patterns. It is often used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression,
and epilepsy to improve attention, reduce impulsivity and promote recovery from head injuries
and strokes. An individual is most likely to show theta waves on an EEG recording while sleeping
lightly. A person lying in bed awake with eyes closed -b.- would most likely to show alpha waves.
Beta waves characterize alertness in EEG patterns and would most likely be seen while
conversing with someone -c.- or taking a test -d.-. )
Question: 131. A client presents as cool, calm, and collected however has an underlying rage
and by the end of the session, the therapist feels angry. This is an example of:
A. parallel process.
B. projective identification.
C. introjection.

D. diagnostic overshadowing. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔B
( Projective identification is a defense mechanism in which one or more parts of the self are
falsely attributed to another, which are then unconsciously accepted by the recipient, and the
projector then identifies with the projected part in the other. Recreating the supervisee-client
relationship in the supervisee-supervisor relationship through a combination of transference,
countertransference, and projection is referred to as parallel process -a.-. Introjection -c.-
involves absorbing the values or behaviors of others, including the larger society, without really
understanding or assimilating those values or behaviors. Introjection represents a disturbance in
the boundary between self and others — the person does or believes things that are not
reflective of a self that is clearly distinct from others in the environment. Diagnostic
overshadowing -d.- refers to the tendency to attribute all of a client's emotional, behavioral, and
social problems to one salient characteristic instead of considering other, alternative $$$s.)
Question: 132. Structural equation modeling is used to:
A. classify participants into criterion groups based on their status or score on two or more
predictors.
B. to evaluate convergent and divergent validity.
C. to identify homogeneous groups from a collection of observations.
D. to evaluate predictive relationships between measured variables and latent factors. -
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔D
( Structural equation modeling is a technique used to evaluate or confirm the cause-and-effect
or hypothesized relationship between both measured and latent variables. Classifying
participants into criterion groups based on their status or score on two or more predictors -a.- is
referred to as discriminant function analysis. Convergent and divergent validity is evaluated -b.-
using the multitrait-multimethod matrix. Cluster analysis -c.- is a method for grouping objects of
