Question 1

Connectedness is essential for happiness in human life.

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that social connections and relationships with others are integral to our well-being and happiness. Humans are social creatures and thrive when they feel a sense of connection and belonging with others. Strong social connections have been linked to improved mental and physical health, greater life satisfaction and longevity. On the other hand, social isolation and loneliness can lead to negative outcomes such as depression, anxiety and even physical health problems.

Question 2

Resistance training helps at-risk youth resist:&#10;A)negative social influences.&#10;B)the desire for revenge.&#10;C)authority.&#10;D)their primal urges.

Accepted Answer

Resistance training can provide at-risk youth with a sense of empowerment and confidence, which can help them resist negative social influences such as peer pressure or involvement in risky behaviors. Resistance training does not directly address the desire for revenge, issues with authority, or primal urges.

Question 3

Which of the following does not underlie social incompetence?&#10;A)Defects in leadership&#10;B)Defects in personal skills&#10;C)Defects in cognitive skills&#10;D)Defects in social skills

Accepted Answer

While defects in leadership can contribute to social problems in a group or organization, it is not necessarily a factor in an individual's social incompetence. Personal, cognitive, and social skills are more directly linked to individual social functioning.

Question 4

Using simple means to modify, change, or restructure one's beliefs is called:&#10;A)optimism.&#10;B)rational-emotive behavior therapy.&#10;C)cognitive restructuring.&#10;D)cognitive distortion.

Accepted Answer

Cognitive restructuring is the process of using simple means to modify, change, or restructure one's beliefs. This involves questioning and challenging negative or irrational thoughts and replacing them with realistic, positive thoughts. Option A, optimism, is a general outlook on life and not a specific technique for changing beliefs. Option B, rational-emotive behavior therapy, is a type of therapy that uses cognitive restructuring techniques, but it is not a term used for the technique itself. Option D, cognitive distortion, refers to specific types of irrational thoughts or beliefs, rather than the process of changing them.

Question 5

What is the name of the ability to make use of personal resources to influence the environment and achieve a positive outcome?&#10;A)Social dexterity&#10;B)Social competence&#10;C)Life skills&#10;D)Health-promoting behavior

Question 6

Developmental Assets are:&#10;A)Internal and External.&#10;B)Social and Life.&#10;C)Fixed and Changing.&#10;D)Productive and Protective.

Accepted Answer

Developmental Assets are both internal, such as personal qualities and values, and external, such as positive relationships with family, peers, and community. This makes choice A the best one. The other options either do not accurately represent the nature of developmental assets or are not applicable in this context.

Question 7

Relaxation has not been reported to:&#10;A)reduce anxiety.&#10;B)improve social skills.&#10;C)avoid positive reactions to stress.&#10;D)reduce depression.

Accepted Answer

The statement "avoid positive reactions to stress" is a double negative and can be rephrased as "promote positive reactions to stress," which is a potential benefit of relaxation techniques. Therefore, relaxation has been reported to reduce anxiety, improve social skills, and reduce depression.

Question 8

Which of the following is not one of the steps of the Life Skills/Social Skills training model?&#10;A)Teach&#10;B)Observe&#10;C)Reinforce&#10;D)Apply

Accepted Answer

The Life Skills/Social Skills training model involves teaching the desired skill, observing the individual's performance, reinforcing successful implementation of the skill, and applying the skill in real-life situations. The step of observing is not included in this model.

Question 9

Connectedness involves:&#10;A)family relationships only.&#10;B)interpersonal skills only.&#10;C)family relationships and intrapersonal awareness.&#10;D)interpersonal skills and intrapersonal awareness.

Accepted Answer

Connectedness involves both interpersonal skills and intrapersonal awareness. Interpersonal skills are the abilities to communicate, empathize, and build relationships with others. Intrapersonal awareness is the ability to understand and regulate one's own emotions and behaviors. Both are necessary for developing and maintaining connections with others. While family relationships may be a part of connectedness, it is not the only factor involved.
