of psychologists worked in the health care and social assistance sectors. Psychologists also worked in hospitals (14
percent) and local community service centres (8 percent). About 18 percent of psychologists worked in education services
(18 percent) (Statistics Canada, 2013). One of the biggest challenges for Canadians is finding access to health services in

Students' answers may vary.
At the turn of the 20th century, women were often barred from pursuing advanced degrees in psychology. Nevertheless,
many women made key contributions to the field, including:
Mary J. Wright became the first female president of the Canadian Psychological Association in 1969. In 2001, Dr. Wright,
a pioneer in the field of developmental psychology, was awarded the Gold Medal Award for Distinguished Lifetime
Contributions to Canadian Psychology (Wright, 2002). In addition to breaking through the glass ceiling for female
psychologists, Dr. Wright defied ageism stereotypes by working until the age of 85 at the University of Western Ontario
(Rumleski, 2007).
Leta Stetter Hollingworth: She focused on child development and women's issues and refuted the notion that women's
abilities decline during portions of the menstrual cycle.
Mary Calkins: She studied memory and was the first female president of the American Psychological Association.
Karen Horney: She focused on the sociocultural foundations of personality.
June Etta Downey: She spearheaded the study of personality traits and was the first woman to head a psychology
department at a state university.

115.What are some of the fundamental differences between the humanistic and behavioural approaches in psychology?

Explanation:

Psychologists in the humanistic perspective believe that behaviour is largely the result of people's free choice. That is,
people have the freedom to choose their own behaviours, and those choices typically help them to achieve self-fulfillment.
Importantly, humanists like Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow believed that all people had the potential to reach personal
fulfillment. In contrast, traditional behaviouralists believed that human behaviour was governed by environmental factors
that are outside an individual's control. Behaviouralists like John Watson believed that a person could shape an organisms
behaviour simply by controlling the rewardingness of the consequences associated with the behaviour. The humanistic
and behavioural psychologists also differ in their orientation toward internal states versus observable behaviours.

116.Briefly describe the nature versus nurture controversy.

Explanation:

The nature-nurture controversy addresses whether behaviour is determined largely by genetic factors, by environmental
factors, or by some combination of both kinds of factors. Some psychologists believe that behaviour is primarily shaped

by the information we inherit from our parents. Such a belief is particularly popular among the neuroscience and
behavioural genetics perspectives, for example. Other psychologists believe that behaviour is primarily shaped by the
environments in which we live and work. Such a view would be common among social and behavioural perspectives.
More modern views on the controversy reflect the belief that both nature and nurture shape human behaviour. That is, we
are probably born with genetic predispositions toward certain kinds of behaviour and mental characteristics. However,
without an appropriate environment, those predispositions will never manifest in actual behaviour or mental processes.

120.The text opens the research methods chapter by recounting Kitty Genovese's rape and murder, in which not a single
neighbour came to her aid. Describe how each step of the scientific method might be applied to better understand such a
phenomenon.

Explanation:

The answer should include all three steps of the scientific method:
1. Identifying a question of interest: How could it be that absolutely no one in a crowded city would help a women being
raped and killed? That's disturbing; let's use the scientific method to find an answer.
2. Formulating an explanation: Psychologists Latane and Darley developed an explanation, or theory, based on the notion
of diffusion of responsibility. The more bystanders there are, the more the responsibility for helping is perceived to be
spread among them. Thus, the more bystanders, the smaller the share of responsibility felt by any one bystander, and the
less likely he or she is to help.
3. Carrying out research: The answer should describe an experimental scenario in which the number of bystanders to a
staged emergency is varied and the helping behavior of the participant is measured.
Bonus: Sharing the findings can follow!
The results of the experiment should be published as a journal article or presented at a conference.

121.Distinguish between a hypothesis and a theory. Provide an example of a hypothesis, along with operational definitions of
the variables included in your hypothesis.

Explanation:

Hypothesis is a specific prediction regarding the relationship between two variables. Theories are broad explanations of
the phenomena of interest.
The answer should further suggest that a hypothesis is more specific than a theory.
Next, the answer should contain a single-sentence hypothesis, including some notion of both an independent and a
dependent variable.
Finally, both the independent and dependent variables should be operationalized, or stated in quantifiable terms.

122.Using the scientific method, how would a psychologist study why some adolescents experiment with drugs?

Explanation:

To answer the question of why adolescents experiment with such drugs as alcohol and nicotine, a researcher would begin
by identifying a question that interests her. In this case, the general question has been identified, but the researcher may
want to narrow her focus by identifying more specific questions. Perhaps she might want to ask questions about the
cognitive causes of drug use, or the emotional causes, or the behavioural causes. Asking specific questions will help the
researcher to formulate focused explanations of the behaviour, the second step of the scientific method. For example, the
researcher might explain the causes of drug experimentation in adolescence from a cognitive perspective, suggesting that
adolescents come to erroneous judgments about the risks involved with using drugs. Finally, the researcher would design
a way to test this explanation and collect data from adolescents. If the data failed to support the explanation, the researcher
would then refine her hypothesis about why adolescents experiment with drugs.

123.List and briefly describe three descriptive research methods. Provide an original example of each. Identify one advantage
and one disadvantage of each of the methods you describe.

Explanation:

The answer should contain three of the following descriptive methods, along with a description, an example, an
advantage, and a disadvantage.
1. Archival research:
Description: existing data or records are used to test a hypothesis
Example: using crime statistics available from the government
Advantage: inexpensive
Disadvantage: records may not be systematic or in a form that ideally suits the purpose of the investigation
2. Case study:
Description: a detailed examination of a single individual
Example: in-depth study of an individual with dissociative identity disorder
Advantage: rich source of data
Disadvantage: may not generalize to other cases
3. Naturalistic observation:
Description: thought or behaviour is systematically examined in the environment in which it typically occurs
Example: recording instances of helping or acts of consideration in an office to examine prosocial behaviour at work
Advantage: provides a sample of people in their natural environment
Disadvantage: does not allow control over the factors of interest
4. Survey:
Description: participants are asked a set of questions about their thought and behaviour
Example: an inventory of 40 questions related to depression
Advantage: generalizable using relatively small sample; usually inexpensive and rapid
Disadvantage: people may not be aware of their attitudes or behaviour; people may answer in a way that does not reflect
their true attitudes or behaviour.

124.What can we learn from a correlation coefficient? What can't we learn from a correlation coefficient?

Full file at />

Page 24 of 24

Explanation:

We can learn two pieces of information from a correlation coefficient. First, we can determine the direction of the
relationship between two variables. If the coefficient is positive, then we know that as values of one variable increases,
values on the other variable also increase. Similarly, if values on one variable decreases, then values on the other variable
also decrease. If the coefficient is negative, then we know that as values on one variable increases, values on the other
variable decreases. Second, we can determine how strong the relationship is between variables. Values range from -1.0 to
+1.0. Values that are closer to + 1.0 indicate a strong relationship, and values close to 0.0 indicate no relationship between
variables. Correlation coefficients can only tell us about the relationship between two variables, but they cannot tell us
whether that relationship is a causal one. That is, the coefficient does not tell us which variable causes changes in another.
Therefore, we are unable to make causal statements about the relationship between variables that are based on
correlational research.

This reduces the participants' feelings that their participation is required or that they are being coerced. Also, it allows
them to quit a study and withdraw their data without fearing that they will be punished or penalized in some way by the
experimenter (who, in some cases, may be their professor). Finally, participants must be given enough information about
the study and the procedures involved so that they can make a reasonable decision about whether or not to participate. The
only time that a researcher would not obtain informed consent is if an ethics panel agrees that the risks involved in the
research are minimal.

Topic: 01-34 Should Animals be Used in Research?
question #125
126.What arguments do people make when suggesting that animals should not be used in psychological research? How do
researchers who use animal subjects respond to such criticisms?

Explanation:

Critics of animal research argue that animals are entitled to the same rights as human beings, and so they should not be
subjected to pain or discomfort. Also, because animals cannot consent to participate in a research study, it is unethical to
use them as subjects. Some critics also argue that research with animals has little to say about how human beings think,
feel, and behave.
Researchers who use animals in their studies respond to such criticisms by pointing out that ethical guidelines are in place
to protect the physical comfort and psychological well-being of animal subjects. Distress and physical discomfort are
induced only when alternative procedures are unavailable. These researchers also argue that some behavioural processes,
such as development, are easier to observe in animals than in humans, and greater experimental control is possible over
animals than over humans. Finally, researchers who conduct animal research point to the fact that findings from animal

research have greatly benefited the lives of many humans.
