Question 1

Marcia feels guilt and anxiety when she doesn't work as hard as her family believes she should.According to organismic integration theory (OIT),which of the following best explains this relationship between feelings of pressure and her performance?

Accepted Answer

Introjected regulation is when a person feels pressure or guilt due to internalizing external demands or expectations. Marcia's feelings of guilt and anxiety suggest that she has internalized her family's expectations, which is consistent with introjected regulation.

Question 2

Which of the following is true according to Maslow's theory?

Accepted Answer

According to Maslow's theory, peak experiences represent times in one's life in which self-actualization is achieved, at least temporarily. These experiences are characterized by feelings of euphoria, transcendence, and connection to others and the world. Peak experiences are considered an important part of the self-actualization process.

Question 3

Formally,self-determination theory (SDT)comprises each of the following "mini-theories" EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

Amotivational theory (AMT) is not one of the mini-theories within self-determination theory (SDT). The correct mini-theories include causality orientations theory (COT), organismic integration theory (OIT), and basic psychological needs theory (BPNT).

Question 4

One factor in hunger seems to be the increase in _______,which causes blood sugar levels to eventually drop several hours after we eat.

Accepted Answer

Insulin is responsible for regulating the level of glucose in the blood. When we eat, insulin is released to help move the glucose into our cells for energy. However, if there is an increase in insulin production, it can cause our blood sugar levels to drop several hours after we eat, leading to feelings of hunger.

Question 5

Organismic integration theory (OIT)best fits which type of motivation?

Accepted Answer

Organismic integration theory (OIT) deals with the different types of extrinsic motivation that vary in the degree to which they are internalized and integrated into an individual's sense of self. OIT considers the continuum of extrinsic motivation that ranges from external regulation (non-integrated) to integrated regulation (fully integrated). Therefore, OIT best fits extrinsic motivation.

Question 6

Hormones secreted by the pancreas after we begin to eat to control fat levels,proteins,and carbohydrates are called _________________ and _________________.

Accepted Answer

The hormones secreted by the pancreas to control fat levels, proteins, and carbohydrates are insulin and glucagon. Option A) is incorrect because serotonin is not a hormone secreted by the pancreas. Option B) is incorrect because there is no hormone called "necon" secreted by the pancreas. Option D) is incorrect because serotonin is not a hormone involved in regulating fat levels, proteins and carbohydrates.

Question 7

What is one of the criticisms of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What is one of the criticisms of...

Question 8

BMR stands for:

Accepted Answer

BMR stands for basal metabolic rate, which is the number of calories an individual burns while at rest to maintain their essential bodily functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and regulating body temperature.

Question 9

Which of the following shows a focus on the lowest of Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

Accepted Answer

Mark's focus on working as an attorney solely for financial security and providing for his family shows a focus on the physiological level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which includes basic needs such as food, shelter, and safety.

Question 10

Anna Nicole weighed about 125 pounds most of her adult life.However,it seemed like whenever Anna Nicole gained weight it was easy to lose and get back to 125.But when she wanted to go below 125 it took forever,and even the slightest deviation from her diet got her back to 125.What explanation would you give Anna Nicole?

Accepted Answer

Anna Nicole's weight of 125 pounds may be her body's set point, which is the weight her body naturally maintains without extreme dieting or exercise. Trying to go below 125 pounds would require significant effort and could be difficult to maintain long term. It is important for Anna Nicole to focus on a healthy diet and exercise routine rather than trying to constantly fluctuate her weight.

Question 11

Which of the following is one of the three inborn and universal needs that help people gain a complete sense of self and whole,healthy relationships with others,according to the basic psychological needs theory (BPNT)?

Accepted Answer

According to the basic psychological needs theory (BPNT), autonomy is one of the three inborn and universal needs that help people gain a complete sense of self and whole, healthy relationships with others. The other two needs are relatedness and competence. Relevance and flow are not considered basic psychological needs in BPNT, and incompetence is not a need at all.

Question 12

The lateral hypothalamus (LH)may be involved in:

Accepted Answer

The lateral hypothalamus (LH) is known as the "hunger center" and is involved in the onset of eating, triggering hunger and the desire to eat. It is not involved in the stoppage of eating, processing low fats, or food allergies.

Question 13

Mark Schaller and colleagues argue that Maslow's hierarchy be altered in which of the following ways?

Accepted Answer

Schaller and colleagues suggest that finding a significant other and raising healthy children should be considered a more important motive than self-actualization. This would entail altering or adjusting Maslow's hierarchy rather than discarding it entirely or eliminating self-actualization. While they do not argue for self-actualization to be considered a universal motive, they do suggest that basic social and cultural factors should be taken into account when examining human motivation.

Question 14

Alderfer's refinement of Maslow's hierarchy includes all of the following hierarchy levels EXCEPT _______________ needs.

Accepted Answer

Alderfer's refinement of Maslow's hierarchy includes existence, relatedness, and growth needs, but does not include power needs.

Question 15

The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)may be involved in:

Accepted Answer

The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) is known to play a role in stopping the eating response. Lesions in this area of the brain have been shown to cause hyperphagia (excessive eating) and obesity in animals. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it is the opposite of what a lesion in the VMH would cause. Option A (increasing hunger) is associated with the lateral hypothalamus, option C (processing low fats) is not associated with the hypothalamus at all, and option D (food allergies) is not related to the functions of the hypothalamus.

Question 16

One biological/evolutionary theory of obesity suggests:

Accepted Answer

This theory suggests that our hunter-gatherer ancestors needed to store fat because food was not always readily available. Therefore, over time, humans developed genes that allowed them to store fat for times of scarcity. However, in modern times, food is abundant, and we can easily consume more calories than we need, leading to obesity.

Question 17

Canadian performer Mathew Good suffers from bipolar affective disorder.According to Maslow's theory,people with serious mental health disorders like Mathew Good will likely:

Accepted Answer

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, individuals with serious mental health disorders may struggle to meet basic needs such as safety and physiological needs, which can hinder their ability to progress to higher levels like self-esteem and self-actualization.

Question 18

Which hormone is secreted into the bloodstream by fatty tissue to signal the hypothalamus that the body has had enough food,reducing appetite and increasing the feeling of being full?

Accepted Answer

Leptin is a hormone secreted by fatty tissue that signals the hypothalamus to reduce appetite and increase the feeling of being full. Adrenalin is a hormone that is responsible for the body's fight or flight response, and peptic acid is a digestive enzyme produced in the stomach. Lipotor is not a hormone, but a brand name of a drug used to lower cholesterol levels in the body.

Question 19

Which of the following is a criticism of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

Accepted Answer

The main criticism of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is that there is a lack of scientific support for the theory. Some argue that the needs are not hierarchical and that individuals may prioritize different needs at different times. Additionally, the idea that self-actualization is the highest level of need has been challenged by research.

Question 20

According to organismic integration theory (OIT),which of the following is most associated with internalization?

Accepted Answer

According to OIT, internalization is the process by which external regulations become more internal and self-determined. Integrated regulation is the highest level of internalization, where the individual has fully integrated the value and importance of the behavior into their sense of self. Therefore, the most associated with internalization is integrated regulation. Amotivation refers to a lack of motivation, introjected regulation refers to pressure or guilt from internal factors, and identified regulation refers to recognizing the external importance of a behavior.
