, Chapter 1 – Pop Quiz 1
Answer Key
1. b Rationale: Psychology is the discipline concerned with understanding behavior and mental
processes and how they are affected by an organism’s physical state, mental state, and external
environment. The other choices are only a part of psychology. (Page 4, Factual, Easy, LO 1.1,
APA 1.1, 1.2)
2. d Rationale: Wilhelm Wundt is referred to as the father of modern, scientific psychology because he
established the first psychological laboratory in Leipzig in 1879. (Page 6, Factual, Easy, LO 1.2,
APA 1.1, 1.2)
3. b Rationale: The cognitive perspective focuses on understanding the processes the mind uses to
know and understand the world. (Page 7, Factual, Moderate, LO 1.4, APA 1.1, 1.2, 2.2)
4. a Rationale: Most U.S. states require a doctoral degree to be licensed as a psychologist. (Page 9,
Factual, Easy, LO 1.6, APA 1.1, 1.2, 5.5)
5. a Rationale: Critical thinking includes the ability to be creative and constructive, the ability to come
up with alternative rationales for events, think of implications of research findings, and apply new
knowledge to social and personal problems. It does not mean that all opinions are created equal
and that everybody’s beliefs are as good as anyone else’s. (Page 13, Conceptual, Easy, LO 1.8,
APA 1.1, 2.1, 2.2)
6. d Rationale: This is a definition of descriptive research techniques. (Page 19, Factual, Easy, LO
1.10, APA 1.1, 1.2, 2.4)
7. b Rationale: Projective tests purport to determine a person’s unconscious feelings and motives.
(Page 21, Factual, Easy, LO 1.11, APA 1.1, 1.2)
8. d Rationale: This is a definition of correlation. A correlation is a measure of how strongly two
variables are related to one another. (Page 23, Factual, Easy, LO 1.13, APA 1.1, 1.2, 2.4)
9. c Rationale: The independent variable is manipulated by the experimenter. The dependent variable
gets affected by the experimenter’s manipulation of the independent variable. (Page 27, Factual,
Easy, LO 1.16, APA 1.1, 1.2, 2.4)
10. d Rationale: A .05 level of significance means that there is less than 5 percent probability that the
results were due to chance. If, however, the significance test shows that the p value is greater
than .05, many researchers would have little confidence in the study’s result. (Page 32,
Conceptual, Difficult, LO 1.19, APA 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.4)
