Accepted Answer

The approach that stresses the rewards and costs of relationships in family life according to a behavioral economy is known as social exchange theory. This theory explains that individuals make decisions based on the rewards and costs associated with different behaviors, including those in relationships. It suggests that people will engage in behaviors that provide the most benefits or rewards and avoid those that have high costs or negative consequences.

Question 3

In behavioral and cognitive-behavioral family therapy, family action is stressed over insight.

Accepted Answer

In behavioral and cognitive-behavioral family therapy, the focus is on identifying and modifying problematic behaviors and communication patterns, rather than gaining insight into underlying emotional issues. The emphasis is on action and behavioral change, rather than on understanding the root causes of problems.

Question 4

A basic premise of behavioral family therapy is&#10;A) all behavior is learned&#10;B) underlying causes should be the target of change&#10;C) all family members must be treated&#10;D) the importance of insight in the change process

Accepted Answer

A basic premise of behavioral family therapy is that all behavior is learned, and therefore can be unlearned and replaced with more adaptive behavior. This approach focuses on observable behaviors and the environmental factors that contribute to them, rather than attempting to uncover unconscious or underlying causes. While all family members may be involved in treatment, this is not a necessary component of the approach. Finally, while insight may be helpful, it is not seen as essential to making behavioral changes.

Question 5

In _____ people learn through rewards and punishments to respond behaviorally in certain ways.&#10;A) classical conditioning&#10;B) shaping&#10;C) stress inoculation&#10;D) operant conditioning

Accepted Answer

Operant conditioning is a learning process in which individuals learn to modify their behavior through rewards and punishments. Classical conditioning involves learning through associations between two stimuli, shaping involves gradually training individuals to perform a specific behavior, and stress inoculation involves teaching individuals strategies for coping with stress. Therefore, the best choice in this context is operant conditioning.
