Small to large Tendency for people to comply with some LARGE request AFTER first agreeing to a SMALL request. The technique is used to get compliance from others in which a small request is made first in order to get compliance for a larger request.

But to get you to agree to this big request, they first ask you to volunteer for 1 hour one time and one time only. After hearing this small request, which you are willing to agree to, they then work their way up asking you to volunteer time until you are willing to agree to the big request. You are more likely to agree to this when you have already said yes to the small request.

The idea is that if the dependent variable changes when the treatment is introduced for one participant, it might be a coincidence. But if the dependent variable changes when the treatment is introduced for multiple participants—especially when the treatment is introduced at different times for the different participants—then it is extremely unlikely to be a coincidence

Analytic Psychology / Jungian psychology

Analytic Psychology is a branch of psychology based on the teachings of Carl Jung that views a person's beliefs and behavior as being the result of a balance between competing, and subconscious, internal forces. It relies on the theory that "wholeness" of human mind and behavior can be achieved through the integration of unconscious forces and motivations. As adults we sometimes experience reactions to things and situations that are based on childhood experiences. Once we explore those reactions and can remember why and how that reaction started, we can work towards changing our responses to that previously subconscious stimulus

Attributes can be rank-ordered The order of the values is what's important and significant, but the differences between each one is not really known Distances between attributes do not have any meaning Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division would be meaningless Eg. On a survey you might code Educational Attainment as 0=less than high school; 1=some high school.; 2=high school degree; 3=some college; 4=college degree; 5=post college. In this measure, higher numbers mean more education. But is distance from 0 to 1 same as 3 to 4? Of course not The interval between values is not interpretable in an ordinal measure Eg. Likert scale that contains five values - strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, and strongly disagree - is ordinal

3 Basic Leadership Styles

Autocratic (authoritarian) - Leaders give orders. The style that members liked least. Hostility is greater in this group. Children show aggressive behaviors. Beneficial when needed to make an immediate decision. Democratic (participative / facilitator) - Children displayed best behavior in this style. However, this style is not always the best. Although member satisfaction is highest in this style, but it doesn't necessarily lead to high productivity Laisse faire自由放任 (indifferent) - Group members can do as they please without leader interference or direction. Counselors are nonthreatening. Children show aggressive behaviors. When a decision has been made and members are commited to it, this style is usually the most merit.

S is sensation (the five senses), or the negative bodily sensations or physiological symptoms such as pain, tension, sweat, nausea, quick heartbeat, etc. I stands for imagery, which is the existence of negative cognitive images or mental pictures. C represents cognition or the degree of negative thoughts, attitudes, or beliefs.

Erickson, Fritz Perls, and Virginia Satir really did in their session, makes some incredible claims, such as the ability to cure a longstanding phobia in less time than it takes to conduct a typical counseling session. 2 most popular techniques used by NLP practitioners are "reframing" and "anchoring." When using reframing, the counselor helps the client to perceive a given situation in a new light so as to produce a new emotional reaction to it. In anchoring, a desirable emotional state is evoked via an outside stimulus such as a touch or a sound or a specific bodily motion

Counselor never uses strategies/interventions or other behavior that could cause harm Do no harm Eg. proper treatment and execution of the treatment Violation: unnecessary or aggressive care, incompetent treatment, not referring when indicated

Monolithic Perspective

Counselor perceives all the people in a given group as being identical.

Beneficence

Counselor practices for the good of society and the client Doing good and the right thing for the patient Actively do what's best for the client An action made for the benefit of others Eg. proper diagnosis and treatment

Competence

Counselor's self-perception of being qualified and capable of performing a task

Child Abuse

Counselors are mandated to report for child abuse Mandated: Counselor doesn't have a choice It is legal and ethical to break confidentiality in this case Report child abuse cases to child abuse hotline, protective services, children's services, or Child Protective Services (CPS)

NBCC's Code of Ethics Describes Ethical Issues Related to Private Practice

Counselors in executive leadership roles should not allow their names to be used in professional notices (eg. website or referral list) at times when they are not performing counseling (eg. out of country and is engaged in a research project for the next two years)

Scope of Practice Concept

Counselors should only practice using techniques for which they have been trained Counselor should not attempt to treat clients for which they have no training

Counterconditioning

Counterconditioning is a type of therapy based on the principles of classical conditioning that attempts to replace bad or unpleasant emotional responses to a stimulus with more pleasant, adaptive responses. Eg. the case of Little Albert - the boy that John Watson conditioned to fear little white rats? Well, if Watson attempted to "uncondition" the fear response to the rats, he would be engaging in counterconditioning - attempting to replace the unpleasant response (fear) to the rats with a more pleasant response (happiness) Includes exposure therapies and aversive conditioning

Solomon Four-Group Design

Created by Richard L. Solomon Researchers uses two control groups Control for pretest effects Only one experimental group and one control group are pretested. The other control group and experimental group are posttested only. This lets the researcher know if results are influenced by prestesting. All four groups can then be compared

Crystallized Intelligence (Gc)

Crystallized intelligence is based upon facts and rooted in experiences. As we age and accumulate new knowledge and understanding, crystallized intelligence becomes stronger The ability to use knowledge that was previously acquired through education and experience Increase over the life span Crystallized intelligence is rigid and does not change or adapt Measured by tests that focus on content

DV

Dependent Variable The variable expresses the outcome or the data related to factors you wish to measure

A test relies on a summated累加 or linear rating scale

Describe answer scales where various values are given to different responses Eg. Likert Scale - 5 = strongly agree; 4 = slight agree The client's score is the sum of all the items

Masters and Johnson

Describe sexual response as consisting of four phases - erotic desire, arousal, physical excitement, and orgasm

Member-specific Measures

Designed to assess change (or lack of it) in an individual group member; EX: self-rating or a rating by an outside observer; not standardized

Structuring of the Group

Determined by the presence or lack of structured tasks or exercises given to members by the group leader

Mann-Whitney U Test

Determines whether 2 uncorrelated means differ significantly when data are nonparametric (Memory: the 'u' reminds you of 'uncorrelated') Unmatched/Uncorrelated groups could be termed Independent groups Used when there are two groups

Mann-Whitney U test

Determines whether 2 uncorrelated means differ significantly when data are nonparmetric (Memory: the 'u' reminds you of 'uncorrelated')

Lewis M. Terman

Developed American version of Binet IQ test in 1916 Called Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales (because he was from Stanford University) Binet IQ test was translated into English and adapted to American children Is a standardized test

David Tiedeman and Robert O'Hara

Developed a Decision-Making Theory of 2 parts: Anticipation and Implementation/Adjustment Anticipation phase - person imagines self in given career Implementation/Adjustment phase (aka accommodation or induction) - person engages in reality testing regarding his or her expectations of the occupation Decision-Making Theory is based on Erikson's psychosocial stages. Every decision is characterized by anticipation and implementation

Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)

Developed by Dan Siegel and Allan Schore IPNB uses the clinical evidence that supports continuous brain growth as its foundation. This technique examines the opportunity for healing trauma by stimulating the brain with powerful and positive persuasion. Studies have shown that conditions that were once considered to be irreversible may actually be able to be transformed in a healthy way. Because the brain grows continuously throughout our lives, the implications for healing are unending Explores the effect that therapy has on the brain and how the brain mechanism is directly impacted by life experiences

Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA)

Developed by Dawis and Lofquist (1984) Apply to adults facing career decisions and work adjustment problems. It describes the relationship between individuals and their work environment. Individuals and work environments are considered to be complimentary Person must fit the job, work must meet the person's needs Key concepts: correspondence, work adjustment, satisfaction (on the part of the employee) satisfactoriness (on the part of the employer), tenure (length of time in company) PEC - Person environment correspondence

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Developed by William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick in the early 1980s A brief form of therapy, often used in areas of substance abuse and addiction, that allows clients to explore their desires, reasons, ability, and need for change A directive, client-centered style (Rogerian) for eliciting behavior change by helping clients explore and resolve ambivalence Brief - often implemented in five sessions or less

Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon

Developed the first intelligence test to identify children who needed remedial education (to differentiate feeble-minded children from those who were normal) By 1905, they created a 30-question test with school-related items of increased difficulty. Binet used his own daughters as test subjects in order to investigate mental process Called Binet-Simon Scale Binet is also cited as one of the pioneers in projective testing based on his work with inkblots

Interval

Distance is meaningful Interval data are measured and have constant, equal distances between values, the distance between attributes does have meaning The zero isn't meaningful, it doesn't mean a true absence of something Can add and subtract, cannot multiply or divide Eg. Intelligence (IQ test) - We know that the scoring difference between a 100 and a 110 is equal to the scoring distance between 120 and 130, but there is no true zero on this test and an IQ of 140 is not twice as high as an IQ of 70 Eg. When we measure temperature (in Fahrenheit), the distance from 30-40 is same as distance from 70-80. The interval between values is interpretable. Because of this, it makes sense to compute an average of an interval variable, where it doesn't make sense to do so for ordinal scales In interval measurement, ratios don't make any sense - 80 degrees is not twice as hot as 40 degrees (although the attribute value is twice as large) Eg. IQ tests provide interval measurement

Anne Roe

Divided career fields into 8 categories/fields and 6 levels Categories/Fields: arts/entertainment, general, technology, outdoor, science, business, organizations, and services industry Levels- requiring most to least experience and knowledge: professional and managerial - levels 1 and 2; semiprofessional and small business - level 3; skilled - level 4; semiskilled - level 5; and unskilled - level 6

Doesn't always use the formal process of diagnosis and psychological assessment (DSM) and doesn't ask a large number of questions (traditionally)

Standard (eg. Simple) Random Sampling

Each individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected Selection is by chance The selection of one subject does not affect the selection of another subject Eliminates the researcher's tendency to pick a biased sample of subjects

Normative Measures

Each item is independent of all other items Individual's score is evaluated by comparing it to others who took the same test Normative analysis yields comparison between individuals Eg. Likert scale (such a rating scale allows quantification of individuals' feelings and perceptions on certain topics); Percentile rank

Ginzberg, Ginsburg, Axelrad, and Herma

Early 1951, Ginzberg and associates began to emphasize developmental factors related to occupational choice. They concluded at occupational choice takes place over a 6-10 year period; the choice is irreversible; and always has the quality of compromise The theory postulated 3 stages: - Fantasy - until age 11, based strongly on impulses - Tentative - age 11 - 17, where interests and abilities are examined - Realistic - age 17 to early twenties, where a choice is made by weighing abilities and needs and making a compromise By 1972, Ginzberg modified his theory and stated that the process of choice is open-ended and lifelong; dropped the hypothesis of irreversibly; and replaced compromise with the concept of optimization (where individuals try to make the best of what they have to offer and what is available in the job market)

Guided Imagery

Effective for adults and adolescents; Client imagines a day in the future working in the job or even receiving an award for outstanding performance in the position

(Example) DSM-5 vs. ICD-10 Coding

Eg. On page 190 of DSM-5, the diagnostic codes for Separation Anxiety Disorder "309.21 (F93.0)" are listed in the upper right hand corner of the criteria set In this case, 309.21 is the ICD-9-CM / DSM code for Separation Anxiety Disorder, and F93.0 is the ICD-10-CM code Starting October 1st 2015, you will use F93.0 instead of 309.21 for ICD-10-CM when submitting payment for a case of Separation Anxiety Disorder

Standard Scores

Eg. Percentiles, t-scores, z-scores, stanines, standard deviations Benefit over raw scores: standard score allows you to analyze the data in relation to the properties of the normal bell-shaped curve

Superego

Ego ideal The part of personality that, according to Freud, represents internalized ideals and provides standards for judgment (the conscience) and for future aspirations

Existentialist

Emphasize the client's free choice, decision, and will Counselor assists the client to find meaning in life so the client can write his or her own life story by making meaningful choices Death is not seen as an evil concept but rather an entity which gives meaning to the process of life

Group Members Roles

Energizer - stimulates enthusiasm in the group Scapegoat - the person everybody blames. He or she is always the target of severe anger and hostility Gatekeeper - tries to make certain that everyone is doing their task and is participating. This person may "secretly" or "unconsciously" want to lead the group and could even attempt to establish norms. The danger is that a gatekeeper often does not work on their own personal issues Interrogator (aka Peeping Tom) - asks never ending string of questions Follower - goes along with the rest of the group Harmonizer (aka conciliator 调解人) - person who tries to make certain that everything is going smoothly Storyteller - monopolized a wealth of group time telling endless (often irrelevant) tales Isolates (aka the silent one) - isolate is ignored by others. Isolates generally feel afraid to reach out or do reach out and are genuinely rejected. Not the same as the scapegoat

Cohort Study

Examines people who were born at the same time (or shared an event, like fought in Vietnam) in regard to a given characteristic

Rollo May

Existential psychologist Shared with humanists the belief in free will and freedom of choice but also emphasized loneliness, anxiety, and alienation In his humanistic approach to therapy, he stressed that anxiety could be harnessed and used as a positive force and that people could use their inner resources in making the choices that guide the direction of their lives

Nancy Schlossberg

Focused on Adult Career Development Suggested 5 noteworthy factors: (1) Behavior in the adult years is primarily determined by social rather than biological factors. (2) Behavior can either be a function of one's life stages or one's age at other times. (3) Sex differences are actually more powerful than age or stage differences.

Forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning休会 In the forming stage, the group is coming together and rules are being established. Group members are typically polite to each other. During the storming stage, challenges often arise. Groups members may butt heads and test boundaries. In the norming stage, group members have developed a sense of unity and worked out their conflicts. They are also supportive of leadership. During the performing stage, the group is making progress toward their goals. Leaders are helping group members advance their skills and competencies. The adjourning stage is sometimes referred to as 'mourning' when a group is high functioning and has developed a strong sense of unity. The inevitable end can seem bittersweet.

Converting Questions to Statements

Gestalt therapy, taking responsibility for a feeling or situation through "I" statements A client might say, "Don't all people in a group feel scared during the initial session of group counseling?" The client is asked to turn the question into an "I statement," in this case, "I feel scared during this initial session of group counseling." In Gestalt this is known as "taking responsibility for a feeling or situation." Often, the Gestalt counselor literally asks the client to say this. For example, "I feel scared during this initial session of group counseling, and I take responsibility for being scared."

Resentful Demoralization of the Comparison Group (aka Compensatory Equalization)

Happens when a researcher has an expectation of which treatment method would be better Researcher treats participants in the "better" group more favorably than the others The comparison group lowers their performance or behaves in an inept无能 manner because they have been denied the experimental treatment. When this occurs, the experimental group looks better than they should. If the comparison group deteriorates恶化 throughout the experiment while the experimental group does not, then demoralization could be noted

Standard Error of Measurement

How accurate or inaccurate a test score is Low standard error means high reliability, thus the lower Standard Error of Measurement the better

Covariation

How two traits vary together in a population How two variables move with respect to each other Indicate the extent to which 2 random variables are dependent on each other. Higher number means higher dependency Range: negative infinity to positive infinity

Concurrent Validity

How well the test compares to other instruments (test) that are intended for the same purpose The degree to which the measures gathered from one tool agree with the measures gathered from other assessment techniques Criterion measures are obtained approximately the same time as the test score Eg. To access one's depression level, combined BDI results and client's self-reported experience Eg. We want to measure if levels of extrovert/introvert (test) affect sale performance (criterion). In this scenario, we cannot collect data at two different time points. Thus, we measure both levels of extrovert/introvert and sale performance AT THE SAME TIME. Does the test score on the levels of extrovert/introvert test agree with the measurement of the sale performance criterion?

Humanistic form of helping in which the counselor helps the client discover meaning in his or her life by doing a deed (eg. an accomplishment), experiencing a value (eg. love), or suffering (eg. Frankl discovered that even being held hostage in a concentration camp could not take away his dignity) Existential stresses growth and self-actualization. Frankl stressed that individuals have choices in their lives and one cannot blame others or childhood circumstances for a lack of fulfillment Existential counseling rejects analysis and behaviorism for being deterministic and simplistic

Nonparametric Tests / Distribution-Free Tests

If there is no knowledge about the population or parameters, but still it is required to test the hypothesis of the population, then is called nonparametric test Only uses nominal or ordinal data The curve is not a normal distribution Eg. Mann-Whitney U Test, Wilcoxon Singed-Rank Sum Test for Matched Pairs, Soloman and the Kruskal-Wallis H test

Youngest and Only Children

In Adler's theory, the youngest child may be dependent and selfish due to always being taken care of by family members. However, this child may also possess positive traits of confidence, ability to have fun and comfort at entertaining others. Only children do not have to share their parents' attention. They may have a hard time when they are told no, and school may be a difficult transition as they are not the sole focus of the teacher. On a positive note, Adler believed that, compared to others their age, only children tend to be more mature, feel more comfortable around adults and even do better in intellectual and creative pursuits

Manifest Content of Dreams

In Freudian dream analysis, the "surface," or remembered, story line, which contains symbols that mask the dream's latent content (the true meaning).

Collecting Trading Stamps

Thapar v. Zezulka (1999) (Duty to Protect in Texas)

In Texas, the Texas Supreme Court ruled in 1999 that health professionals in that state have NO DUTY TO WARN AND PROTECT (Thapar v. Zezulka, 1999). In Texas, a psychotherapist who acts on a duty to warn and/or protect when a client expresses the intent to harm another individual would be violating Texas law and placing her or himself at great legal risk In Texas, the court held that the psychological associate had NO DUTY TO WARN a third party who was not part of the special relationship between provider and patient Though Texas has no duty to warn third parties in the circumstance of a threat by a patient to others, there is a duty to exercise reasonable efforts to protect the person, your patient/client, through an assessment of the threat, initiation of civil commitment proceedings, if appropriate, as well as reliance upon waivers of confidentiality as part of an informed consent agreement, executed prior to the initiation of treatment

Free Association

In psychoanalysis, a method of exploring the unconscious in which the person relaxes and says whatever comes to mind, no matter how trivial or embarrassing

Transference

In psychoanalysis, the patient's transfer to the therapist of their emotions linked with other relationships (such as love or hatred for a parent)

Eclecticism

In psychotherapy, drawing ideas from two or more systems of therapy instead of committing to just one system.

Flooding

In this technique, exposure can be in vivo or imaginal. A person is intensely exposed to anxiety-evoking events for a prolonged period of time. Flooding is usually done until the anxiety is significantly diminished Using the exposure fear hierarchy to begin exposure with the most difficult tasks

Incremental Validity

Incremental Validity is used to determine if a new psychological measure will provide more information than measures that are already in use If a new test doesn't provide any new information than the current, simpler measures are already providing then the new test is unnecessary and doesn't need to be used An example would be a school psychologist who was trying to identify learning delays in students so they could receive a specialized curriculum. She first uses grades and teacher interviews to identify any students who may be having trouble learning material. She then uses a test which is supposed to identify students with learning delays. The test would be incrementally valid if it identified students who had learning delays that had gone unnoticed while using the previous grade and interview method. If no new students were identified using the measure then it would not be incrementally valid because it failed to do anything more than the previous method

Biserial Correlation

Indicates that one variable is continuous (i.e., an interval scale) while the other is dichotomous Eg. Correlating state licensing exam scores to NCC status (dichotomy is licensed/unlicensed)

Item Difficulty Index / Difficulty Value

Indicates the percentage of individuals who answered each item correctly The higher the number of people who answer a question correctly, the easier the item is and vice versa It can range between 0.0 and 1.0, with a higher value means more people answered correctly, and it was thus an easier item Eg. 0.5 difficulty index suggest that 50% of individuals answered correctly, while 50% did not Eg. 0.25 difficulty index suggests that 25% of individuals answered correctly, while 75% did not

Individual Psychology

Individual psychology is a term used to refer to a view of psychology pioneered by Alfred Adler that involves taking a holistic view of a client's character. This view diverged drastically from the Viennese school of psychoanalysis that Adler had originally been affiliated with and has been a great influence on the schools of psychology that came into existence in the late 20th century. The term, individual psychology, is not used to mean a focus on the individual person, but to refer to the client's whole environment. The individual referred to means looking at the patient as an indivisible whole, rather than as a group of disparate parts or symptoms.

Group Therapy Stages

Initial stage / orientation and exploration / preaffiliation / forming - superficial communication. Deal with members' approach-avoidance behavior (Eg. people want to be accepted but are scared to participate) Transition stage / power and control / storming - members are often judgmental, resistant, or involved in a struggle for power to establish a hierarchy Working stage / norming stage / cohesion stage / negotiation, intimacy, and frame of reference - real work is done by group Termination stage / separation stage / closure stage / adjourning / consolidation - provides opportunity to learn to deal with letting go

Learning Theory of Career Counseling (John Krumboltz)

Initially called Social Learning Theory 4 factors that can used to simplify career development process: (1) genetic endowment and unique abilities (2) environmental conditions and life events (3) learning experiences (either Pavlovian, social learning theory, or Skinnerian) - association learning (4) task approach skills (problem solving, cognitive responses, ans emotional patterns) - instrumental learning

Perry's 4 Stages of Mental and Moral Development

Perry believed college students go through 4 stages of mental and moral development: Dualism, Multiplicity, Relativism, and Commitment The first stage that is typically discussed for people who are very young is dualism. Dualism is the belief that every problem is solvable, that students are to learn the right answers, and that one must obey authorities. The second stage is known as multiplicity. Multiplicity is that there are two types of problems: solvable, and also problems that the answer is not know yet. In addition, in this stage, students put trust in their own inner voice. Relativism is the third stage. During this stage, all solutions to problems must have reasons, and be viewed within a specific context. The basis for this stage is that every issue must be evaluated because everything is contextual. Commitment is the last stage where there is an acceptance of uncertainty as part of life. During this stage, students use the combination of personal experience and evidence learned from outside sources to arrive at conclusions

Negative Transference

Phenomenon that occurs during psychoanalytic therapy in which the patient redirects toward the therapist unconscious feelings of Anger and Hostility retained from experiences with authority figures in childhood

Piaget

Piaget saw moral judgment broken into two age brackets: below and above age ten Those under age ten tended to judge wrong-doings by the amount of damage caused rather than the intention behind the act

Family Sculpting (Family Therapy Technique)

Popularized by Satir, an experimental/expressive technique in which the family members place other family members in position that symbolize their relationships with other members of the family. Helps clarify family dynamics Family members are instructed to arrange themselves spatially to create a live representation of family members' bonds, feelings of closeness, and sense of alliances

Freud's Idea of the Mind

Pre-conscious mind contains elements from both the unconscious and the conscious minds Unconscious mind contains hidden or forgotten memories Conscious mind contains what is happening in the present

Prejudice vs. Discrimination

Prejudice is a negative attitude, discrimination is a negative behavior A prejudiced person may not act on their attitude. Therefore, someone can be prejudiced towards a certain group but not discriminate against them Prejudice includes all three components of an attitude (affective, behavioral and cognitive), whereas discrimination just involves behavior

Paradox

Stratified Sampling

Process that allows a researcher to ensure that the sample represents the population on some criteria Stratified random sampling is a method of sampling that involves the division of a population into smaller sub-groups known as strata. In stratified random sampling or stratification, the strata are formed based on members' shared attributes or characteristics such as income or educational attainment. Then, a probability sample (often a simple random sample ) is drawn from each group Stratified sampling is used to highlight differences between groups in a population, as opposed to simple random sampling, which treats all members of a population as equal, with an equal likelihood of being sampled

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990

Prohibited employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating against the disabled

Psychoanalysis vs. Psychodynamic

Psychoanalysis in particular has two meanings. First, it is a theory for understanding clinical presentations, and perhaps even people in general. It is also used to describe a form of intensive psychotherapy in the most classic sense, which involves long-term treatment, often for years. The treatment takes place several times a week, with the patient on a couch and conducted by a therapist who is a certified psychoanalyst. Psychoanalytic theory, in part developed based on the intensive form of therapy described above, guides the practice of psychodynamic therapy to a large extent, but not completely. Psychodynamic therapy is psychoanalytic for the most part and makes assumptions about how the mind works that are based on psychoanalytic theory. But the technique is radically different from a traditional psychoanalysis treatment. It is brief—15 sessions would not be unusual—and often similar in number of sessions to CBT. It is mostly delivered once per week and takes place face-to-face. The therapist may not be a certified psychoanalyst, but is someone who trained in psychoanalysis or psychodynamic therapy and considers that his or her therapeutic orientation. In APA's Div. 39 (Psychoanalysis) the term "psychoanalysis" covers the whole range of psychoanalytically oriented therapy, research and treatment.—Amy Novotney

Intrapsychic Process

Psychological processes occurring within the mind

Which group was the most instrumental in opposing counselor licensure?

Two Basic Classes of Intermittent Reinforcement Schedules

Ratio & Interval

REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) was formerly known as

Rational-emotive Therapy (RET)

RIASEC (John Holland)

Two Popular Behavioral Techniques in Regards to Career Counseling (not necessarily just related to the work of Krumboltz)

Realistic Job Preview (RJP) and Guided Imagery

Ego

Reality principle The largely conscious, "executive" part of personality that, according to Freud, mediates among the demands of the id, superego, and reality. The ego operates on the reality principle, satisfying the id's desires in ways that will realistically bring pleasure rather than pain.

View on Current Behaviors

Reality therapy views current behaviors as central to the therapeutic process. Reality, more than other orientations, challenges clients to look at and evaluate what they are now doing and assess whether or not is useful in obtaining their desired goals Client-centered therapy places central importance on the counselor/client relationship and on self-exploration Adlerian focus on encouragement and the development of socially useful goals Gestalt focus on awareness and on internal support

Sublimation (defense mechanism)

Rechanneling of drives or impulses that are personally or socially unacceptable into activities that are acceptable (eg. aggressive individual pursues a career in boxing)

Francis Galton

Recognized as one of the major pioneers in the study of Individual Differences Interested in link between heredity and intelligence Concluded that intelligence was normally distributed like height or weight and it was primarily genetic Believed that intelligence was a single/unitary factor

Which type of memory retrieval requires a person to reconstruct重建 a memory?

Recollection Memories are stored in the brain's hippocampus and recollection occurs when a person needs to reconstruct a memory. Each time a person reminisces回忆 about an experience, that memory is strengthened Recall - designates that specific details be retrieved through memory Recognition - the ability to recognize previously encountered people, events, or objects.

Secondary Resources

Records that explain or interpret primary resources Often secondary sources, like textbooks and articles, provide summaries of information found in primary sources

Snowball Sampling / Chain-Referral Sample

Recruitment of participants based on word of mouth or referrals from other participants Uses subjects to drum up other subjects for your study Eg. LGBTQ+ population

Reactive effect

Refers to the effect that a researcher has on that person which he or she is trying to study Subjects behave less naturally due to the fact that they are being studied

Glass Escalator

Refers to the way men, namely heterosexual white men, are put on a fast track to higher up positions when entering women dominated sex-segregated professions

Internal Validity

Refers to whether the DVs were truly influenced by the IVs or whether other factors had an impact (Can we conclude that it is a casual relationship?)

Paradoxical Interventions

Reframing (aka relabeling or redefining), restraining, positioning, prescribing the symptom techniques These paradoxical interventions defy common sense

Anorexia

Refuses to eat enough to maintain a healthy body weight Low body weight (lower than a normal healthy weight)

Intermittent Schedule of Reinforcement (Thinning / Partial Reinforcement)

Reinforcement is delivered after some behaviors or responses but never after each one Advantage - it is more resistant to extinction Disadvantage - learned behaviors take longer to be acquired

Extinction (operant conditioning)

Reinforcement is withheld and eventually the behavior will be eliminated Methods of extinction such as ignoring or time-out

Second most important factor in the construction of a test is ___

Reliability

Subjective Test

Relies mainly on the scorer's opinion, thoughts, and feelings; If the rater knows the test taker's attributes, the rater's personal bias can significantly impact upon the rating Eg. an essay test, free choice test

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Relies on 4 modes: - skills training - phone counseling - therapist consultation team - individual treatment

RS

Religious, Spiritual

Quasi-Experiment

Researcher uses preexisting groups, so IV cannot be altered (eg. gender or ethnicity) Cannot randomly assign the subjects You cannot state with any degree of statistical confidence that the IV caused DV Unlike experimental research, Quasi-experiment doesn't have experimental control (participants may experience differences other than the effect of IV), doesn't gave randomization (participants usually all assigned to the same conditions. Eg. cannot randomly assign gender to particiapnts)participants, and doesn't contain control group (eg. pretest-posttest model doesn't required control group) A type of Quasi-Experiment is: Ex Post Facto Study (aka "after the fact"), implying a correlational study in which intact preexisting groups are utilized. The IV was administered before the research begins

Incomplete Parent State

Result of the death or absence of a parent

Relationship Behavior (Maintenance Action Leadership)

Result of two way communication Eg. Leader provides emotional support for members

Second and Middle Children (Adler)

Second-born child - someone who has a "pacemaker." Since there is always someone who was there first, this child may grow to be more competitive, rebellious and consistent in attempting to be best. Middle children may struggle with figuring out their place in the family and, later, in the world. They are eager for parental praise and thus tend to develop gifts in the arts or academia in order to accomplish this goal. Due to their "middle" status, they also may be the most flexible and diplomatic members of the family

Self-concept and Developmental Stage Theory (Donald Super)

Self-concept and career/vocational maturity influences one's career throughout life span Life rainbow helps clients conceptualize their roles as a child, student, leisurite, citizen, worker, spouse, homemaker, parent, and pensioner Created a five-stage life-span theory emphasizing that career choice is a developmental process based on the individual's self-concept

Frank Parsons

Set up community centers to help individuals on search of work Father of guidance Some historians insist that the profession of counseling officially began when Parsons founded the Vocational Guidance Bureau of Boston and published the book "Choosing a Vocation" in 1909

Inter-Rater / Inter-Observer Reliability (aka Scorer Reliability)

Several raters assess the same performance Used when assessing subjective test performance (eg. essay) Will two different persons who grade the same response produce roughly the same score?

Superordinate Goals

Shared goals that override differences among people and require their cooperation

Free Choice / Free Response Items

Short answer format, allows the responder to answer in manner they wish; Can yield more information; Take more time to score; Increase subjectivity Eg. Short answer, projective measures

Increasing a test's length raises reliability;

Shortening a test lowers reliability.

The Interpretation of Dreams

Sigmund Freud Manifest and Latent Content

If Confidence Level = 95%

Significance Level (alpha) = 1 minus(-) confidence level = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 = p = 0.05

SCCT

Social Cognitive Career Theory States that self-efficacy beliefs impacts one's career decisions Self-efficacy: "Can I really do this and what will happen if I try to do this?"

DSM-5 Code

Someitmes a single code can truly represent multiple conditions, therefore you need to list the name of the condition in the client's record Eg. 300.3 - Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Someone in a professional or clerical job who usually earns a salary

Blue-Collar Worker

Someone who performs manual labor, often in a manufacturing job, and who earns an hourly wage

Special characteristic required to be presented in a research Eg. gender, age, race, educational degree The stratification variable in the sample should mimic the population at large -- If 20% of all Rogerian counselors are AA, then your study on Rogerian counselors should have 20% AA counselors in your sample Cannot be achieve via simple random sampling

All humans have a five-stage sleep cycle and all cycle through the stages in the same order

Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 3, Stage 2, Stage 5 Sleep does not progress through all of these stages in sequence, however. Sleep begins in Stage One and progresses into stages Two, Three, and Four. Then, after Stage Four sleep, Stages Three, then Two are repeated before going into REM sleep (Stage 5). Once REM is over, we usually return to Stage Two sleep. Sleep cycles through these stages approximately 4 or 5 times throughout the night.

Standard deviation = √variance

Standard deviation = Square root of the variance

Ethics

Standards of behavior set forth by organizations and certification bodies Ethics are not state or federally mandated laws Do not spell out penalties for violations Ethics are not universal (eg. might varies across different organizations) However, if your state sends you ethical guidelines that are state statutes法规 after you secure your license, then in this case your guidelines will be the law

Trend Analysis

Statistical method that examines data at different points in time to determine if a variance is an isolated event or if it is part of a longer trend

Two-Tailed t Test (aka Nondirectional experimental hypothesis)

Statistical test places the rejection area at both ends of the distribution curve Eg. The average patient who has completed psychoanalysis will have a statistically DIFFERENT IQ from the average patient who has not received analysis

One-Tailed t Test (aka Directional experimental hypothesis)

Statistical test places the rejection area at one end of the distribution The hypothesis specifies that one average mean is larger than another Eg. The average patient who has completed psychoanalysis will gave a statistically significantly HIGHER IQ than the average patient who has not received analysis

Strategic Family Therapy

Strategic therapists are problem-solvers and solution-finders. They are the referees and coaches, not the spectators passively observing the action played out before them. They aren't concerned with where or how the problem started, only how to address it and solve it at this point in time Therapist guides the therapy sessions and develops treatment plans for each family member for specific problems that can addressed in a short amount of time Strategic therapist are directive (tells client what to do), actively involved and responsible in helping clients turn their lives around, in helping them strategically plan, execute, and measure "game winning" outcomes Strategic therapy is not a person laying on a couch describing what kind of inner turmoil or thoughts he or she is having or experiencing, what past childhood experiences contributed to a sense of self, or how a particular psychological issue could have arisen from past experiences Rely on reframing (aka relabeling or redefining), restraining, positioning, prescribing the symptom techniques (all of these are paradoxical interventions since they defy common sense)

Horizontal Interventions (Interpersonal Method)

Strategies that approach the group as a whole

Vertical Interventions (Intrapersonal Leadership)

Strategies that focus on an individual member of the group

Muzafer Sherif's Robbers Cave Study / Realistic conflict theory

Study concluded that the most effective way to reduce hostility between groups was to give them an alternative, a superordinate goal, which required a joint effort and could not be accomplished by a single group

Psychometrics

Study of psychological measurement / A branch of counseling or psychology which focuses on testing

Factorial Notation (e.g. 2x2, 2x3)

Study using two independent variables Eg. 2 x 3 = first variable has two levels (eg. male or female); second variable has three levels (eg. Caucasian, Asian, or African American)

Single-Blind Study

Subject would not know whether they are a member of the control group or the experimental group To eliminate demand characteristics

Matched Design

Subjects are literally 'matched' in regard to any variable that could be correlated with the DV, which is really the post-experimental performance Termed "Matched Sampling" Eg. Repeated-measures or within-subjects: the theory is that subject is best matched by himself or herself, assuming that counterbalancing is implemented

Biofeedback Devices

Such as a scale or mirror, are used primarily to teach clients to relax or to control autonomic nervous system functions such as blood pressure, pulse rate, or hand temperature Provides the client and helper with biological information so that client can master self-regulation

Global Measures

Such as standardized tests, that may well assess traits and factors not specifically addressed in the group EX: giving members of a Weight Watchers group a pre- and post-MMPI-2 would constitute a global measurement

Glass Ceiling Phenomenon

Suggest that women are limited in terms of how far they can advance in the world of work Is a form of occupational sex-role stereotyping that can limit women's careers Invisible barrier that keeps a given demographic from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy

Robert R. Carkhuff

Suggests a "scale for measurement" in regard to "empathic understanding in interpersonal processes." Level 1: not attending or detracting significantly from the client's verbal and behavioral expressions. Level 2: subtracts noticeable affect from the communication. Level 3: feelings expressed by the client are basically interchangeable with the client's meaning and affect. Level 4: counselor adds noticeably to the client's affect. Level 5: counselor adds significantly to the client's feeling, meaning even in the client's deepest moments. 1969 book: "Helping and Human Relations"

Supervisors & Supervisees

Supervisors should not supervise relatives (by NBCC Ethics) Supervisors do not provide counseling services to supervisees

Rorschach Inkblot Test and Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

Tarasoff in Texas (Duty to Warn)

Texas physicians do not have a statutory duty to warn potential victims of their patients' violent conduct but may warn medical or law enforcement authorities if the patient is a danger to himself, to the treating physician, or to others The issue is whether a practitioner has a duty to protect not only the patient but also other persons from acts performed by a patient or client, emerging as a duty to warn. Texas firmly says "no." Such a duty must be established by statute. As will be seen, the Tarasoff rule does not apply in Texas because of the specific language of the statutes

In determining an alpha level,

The researcher needs to decide which error (type I or II) results in the most serious consequences. Researcher can set alpha at a very stringent level and then use a large sample size. If this can be accomplished, it is possible to make the correct decision (eg. accept or reject null) for majority of the time

Circular / Reciprocal Causality (E.g., Dynamics of Family Members)

The view that causality is nonlinear, occurring instead within a relationship context and through a network of interacting loops; any cause is thus seen as an effect of a prior cause, as in the interactions within families Everybody is influencing everybody else. the problem resides in the family rather than a given individual

Linda Gottfredson

Theory of Circumscription and Compromise, and Self-creation Circumscription 界限 - phase one: rule out certain jobs not acceptable for gender, stereotypes, and social class Compromise - phase two: change mind, major etc. if career path is not truly realistic People do restrict choices (Circumscription) and when people do compromise in regard to picking a job they will often sacrifice the field of work before they sacrifice sex-typed behavior or prestige This is developmental approach that takes one's childhood into account Social space refers to the zone or territory of jobs where he or she fits into society

Ratio

There is an absolute zero that is meaningful Have equal intervals between values In applied social research most "count" variables are ratio Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division all can be use Eg. The number of clients in past six months. Because you can have zero clients and because it is meaningful to say that "...we had twice as many clients in the past six months as we did in the previous six months." Eg. A person who weighs 100 kilos is twice as heavy as a person who weighs 50 kilos, and a measure of zero kilos is meaningful Eg. time, height, weight, temperature on the Kelvin scale, volume, distance

Cohen's d Effect Size (ES)

Uses to gauge how strong a relationship exists Small 0.2; Medium 0.5; Large 0.8

NS vs. CS (Neutral stimulus vs. Conditioned stimulus)

Usually used interchangeable Sometimes - NS is only used until (before) a CR occurs, then NS becomes CS. When the bell without the meat (US) produce a CR (salivating), then the dog is conditioned and the bell is now technically a CS. At the same time, UR (salivate) also becomes a CR because it is learned. If the dog had not yet learned the response to salivate, then the bell would be a NS

Balance Theory

Balance theory, as used in psychology, is basically a concept on attitude change. It was proposed by Fritz Heider and it suggests that a "cognitive consistency motive" is a drive towards psychological balance. Cognitive consistency holds that humans have a deep need to maintain their beliefs and values over time. This can be exhibited by young adults who give up their teenage "rebellion" and return to the value system that they were raised with. Marketing people in the business have co-opted this theory by realizing that using popular celebrities to endorse products will likely make people view such brands more positively. Likewise, if some consumers already dislike the product being advertised, they will tend to dislike the endorser.

For example, in the workplace a successful relationship between the boss and their employees is based on complementarity. The boss is dominant and their employees are submissive. Research suggests that similarity between people is actually a better predictor of successful relationships rather than complementarity.
