Dr. Stanwyck has found a significant difference in the mean test scores of his two student groups. He has also found significant interaction between their scores. He subsequently tested for significance on a second dependent variable as well. Now he wants to make one more analysis based on the information he has obtained related to the first dependent variable he tested - that of self-efficacy. In pretesting, he noticed that the college seniors in each group had higher average scores in self-efficacy than the college juniors in each group. Therefore, he now adjusts the groups' scores statistically to control for these initial differences before he compares his two test groups. What kind of test is he using?

ARNOLD LAZARUS

Developed Behavioral Therapy; was the first psychologist to apply desensitization techniques for treating phobias in therapy.

Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)

Developed by Albert Ellis, it states that events, in and of themselves, are neither good nor bad; therefore, a person's feelings are not a direct result of an event. Rather, somewhat between the activating event and the emotional consequences, people engage in self-talk, either ration or irrational, that triggers certain emotions. People experience emotions because they judge events to be either positive or negative in relationship to their personal objectives. Thus, people who possess irrational thinking patterns need only to learn how to think more rationally in order to vastly increase their quality of life. key concepts: irrational thoughts, reverse role-playing, disputing irrational beliefs, rational emotive imagery, emotional control cards, shame attack exercise

Lifespan, life-space career theory

Developed by Donald Super. There are 3 fundamental aspects, which include lifespan, life space, and self-concept. Super's theory is over the entire lifespan. He has 5 life stages. People can go back (Recycling) and readdress early stages. Super theorized that life roles are dynamic and interact with one another. AT times teh responsibilites associated with two more more life roles might conflict, or the responsibilities of one might spillover onto others (ex: taking work home) Key concepts: career maturity, career planning, career exploration, decision making, world-of work informaiton, kowledge of preferred occupational group, realism, career adaptability, recycling, life space, role salience, life-career rainbow, self-concept, and lifespan

self-psychology

Developed by Heinz Kohut, asserts that psychological disorders result from unsatisfied developmental needs. Believed that clients benefit more from analyst empathy than from interpretations

Stages of Change (SOC) or Transtheoretical Model (TTM)

Developed by Prochaska, DiClemente, and Norcross it is the most widely used model of behavioral change.Many of the developers saw it as a non-linear process, meaning clients relapse to earlier stages before achieving permanent change. It has 6 stages 1. precontemplation: not aware a problem exists; no intention to change 2. contemplation: aware of problem; are ambivalent about change 3. preparation: haven't taken successful action toward change, but fully intend to make behavioral change 4. Action: individuals modify behaviors to change 5. Maintenance: free from original problem 6. termination: No longer need to take action to prevent a relapse of problem behavior

Lifespan (in Super's theory)

reality therapy and choice theory

William Glasser developed this approach which is based on choice theory. The basic premise of choice theory is that people make choices to meet their five basic needs (survival, power, freedom, fun, belonging). The most important/difficult is belonging.

Individuals are driven to alleviate their pain, but are unaware that they have unmet needs. Clients are to identify their unmet needs and make choice so that they are satisfied. Reality therapy is the therapeutic delivery tool that assist individual in regaining control over the choices in their lives. It focuses on the impact of the unsatisfying relationships on clients emotional well being. The goal is to help clients connect or reconnect with those they enjoy being with.
