Q35) Which research design would allow a researcher to determine whether the study's finding about heterosexual marriage and alcohol consumption also holds for same-sex marriage? A. Ask a random sample of respondents whether individuals in same-sex marriages consume alcohol in different patterns than married heterosexuals. B. Conduct a study of gender role attitudes that consists of respondents currently living with a partner, including those in same-sex marriages. C. Survey alcohol consumption patterns of a random sample of American adults across demographic characteristics, including sexual orientation. D. Compare rates of alcohol consumption among a random sample of single, homosexual respondents and those married to a same-sex partner.

was between B and D; picked B A) no B) this study would measure variation in gender role attitudes among cohabiting couples. C) no D) to assess the relationship between variables, both variables must be measured and exhibit variation The key describes an appropriate design because both variables (alcohol consumption and same-sex partnerships) are measured for a relevant population.

Q5) Are the assumptions of SCT regarding the role of participants' beliefs (paragraph 3) consistent with a traditional behaviorist approach? A. Yes, because the traditional behaviorist approach also emphasizes changes in behavior due to desirable and undesirable outcomes B. Yes, because the traditional behaviorist approach holds that repeated exposure to certain outcomes shapes beliefs regarding these outcomes C. No, because the traditional behaviorist approach holds that mental states are involved only in classical conditioning, not operant conditioning D. No, because the traditional behaviorist approach holds that actual outcomes determine behavior, not cognitions regarding potential outcomes

traditional behaviorist approach is based upon beliefs thats all behaviors are the result of experience. D - a rigids behaviorist approach rejects SCT's assumption that cognition can act as motivators for behavior. Instead, it holds that only actual outcomes of a behavior determine whether that behavior will be repeated

B - Collective efficacy is the only component of social capital in the table that is statistically significant (indicated by an asterisk).

Although commonly prescribed in HICs, antidepressant medications may not be supported by sufficient evidence to justify the cost in LMICs. C. The prevalence of dementia is higher in HICs than in LMICs, which is likely because of underreporting in LMICs. D.
