D)In-vivo exposure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavioral rehearsal involves practicing a specific behavior or skill to reduce anxiety and increase confidence in a real-life situation. In this case, practicing the interview with the clinician as the interviewer helps Benina prepare and feel more comfortable during the actual interview. Modeling involves observing someone else perform the behavior, imaginal rehearsal involves mentally imagining the behavior, and in-vivo exposure involves facing the feared situation in real life. None of these fully fit the scenario described.
