Hello. I am studying abnormal psychology right now. Please
answer these two questions and explanations.
1. Dr. Smith and her associates developed a new therapy for
anxiety. In their research, they had participants who met the
criteria for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) randomly assigned
to one of two groups. Group 1 received no treatment whereas Group 2
received the newly developed treatment for GAD. In this example,
Dr. Smith and her associates most likely used a _____ design.
a. analogue experiment
b. reversal
c. quasi-experiment
d. randomized control trial
2. Boman is an ethical, well-behaved, and well-adjusted
4-year-old boy who happens to be very smart. In fact, he was
declared a world genius when his intelligence was tested and found
to be ten times higher than the smartest child his age. Is Boman
abnormal?
a. No, because he is well-adjusted and, therefore, we assume
that he is not suffering emotionally.
b. No. Given that he is ethical and well-behaved, we can assume
that he does not harm himself or others.
c. No, because being a genius is valued by society and not
considered harmful or dysfunctional.
d. Statistically speaking, yes.
