91) A therapist engages in 10 years of therapy with a patient diagnosed as having dissociative identity disorder. When the therapy has concluded, the therapist uses her extensive notes, drawn from clinical interviews with the patient, to write an extensive history of the patient. The history is then published so that others can learn from the therapist’s experiences with her patient. This technique is known as a(n) ________ study. A) psychometric B) epidemiological C) case D) naturalistic observation 92) Each of the following is a difficulty with the case study method of research EXCEPT ________. A) case studies lack effective control groups B) information drawn from case studies usually lacks enough depth and sufficient detail for drawing meaningful conclusions C) case studies lack the rigor of other research designs D) selective questioning or disclosure on the part of the researcher or the subject 93) Research designs in which subjects are used as their own controls are called ________ designs. A) quasi-experimental B) correlational C) single-case experimental D) double-case experimental 94) A researcher designs a study so that his subjects are observed for several weeks with no treatment. They are then given a treatment for several weeks. This is followed by several more weeks in which the treatment is withdrawn. Finally, the subjects are given a second round of treatment. The effects of the first treatment, the withdrawal of treatment, and the second treatment are measured. This study is typical of a ________ design. A) case-study B) quasi-experimental C) single-case experimental D) double-case experimental 95) A researcher sets up an experiment that will give subjects a double dose of treatment in an A-B-A-B pattern. This pattern of treatment is known as a ________ design. A) reversal B) repetitive C) progressive D) multiple baseline 96) The use of multiple-baseline design is found in __________ research. A) single-case experimentation B) case-study C) double-case experimentation D) multiple-case study 97) Azrin and Peterson (1989) used an A-B-A-B experimental design to help a nine-year-old girl control ________. A) thumb-sucking B) bed-wetting C) a facial twitch D) an eye tic 98) Which of the following is NOT a difficulty with the reversal design of the single-case experimental method? A) It may be unethical to withdraw treatment in some cases. B) Subjects may not return to baseline levels during the withdrawal of treatment. C) It is not always possible to reverse certain behaviours or treatment effects. D) The therapeutic intervention often does not work during the second treatment period, even if it worked during the first treatment period. 99) In a ________ design across behaviours, treatment is applied, in turn, to two or more behaviours following a baseline period. A) reversal B) single-baseline C) multiple-baseline D) progressive 100) Many of the ethical and practical problems associated with a reversal design can be eliminated by using a ________ design. A) single-baseline B) multiple-baseline C) psychometric D) progressive 101) Bornstein et al. (1977) used a multiple-baseline design to train a seven-year-old girl in ________ skills. A) reading B) social C) mathematical D) physical coordination 102) All of the following were elements of the Bornstein et al. (1977) study EXCEPT ________. A) hypnosis B) modelling C) rehearsal D) feedback 103) Single-case experimental designs suffer from weak ________ validity. A) internal B) external C) construct D) face 104) Each of the following is a feature of critical thinking EXCEPT ________. A) maintain a skeptical attitude B) consider the definitions of terms C) bear in mind that correlation is usually causation D) avoid overgeneralizing 105) In using online sources of information, you should do each of the following EXCEPT ________. A) look for money-back guarantees B) check the credentials of the source C) look for citations D) beware of any product claims
