Chapter 16 Essays
1. How could you explain the matching hypothesis in terms of operant conditioning?
2. Evidence suggests that women tend to be more self-disclosing (telling another person private information about oneself) than men. Explain how self-disclosure might help or hinder the development of interpersonal attraction. Which theorist(s) investigating love would be most likely to consider self-disclosure as an important element in love?
3. Daryl Bem's self-perception theory suggests that behavior determines attitudes. This counterintuitive notion is reminiscent of the James-Lange theory of emotion. How are the two theories similar yet different from each other?
4. It's commonly believed that most political elections are determined by the public's impressions of the candidates rather than the candidates' views on the issues. What are some possible reasons for this irrational voting behavior? If the public were more knowledgeable about factors that affect person perception and attitudes, how might that knowledge influence voting behavior?
5. Why do you think so many of the "teachers" in Milgram's "shocking" experiment on obedience administered the highest levels of shock to their "learners"? In answering this question you undoubtedly made some sort of attributions of the teachers' behavior. Analyze the attributions you made in terms of what you've learned about attribution theory from the text.

NO PSYCHSIM FOR CHAPTER 15.
Chapter 15 Essays
1. Compare and contrast the psychoanalytic and humanistic brands of insight therapy.
2. Persons suffering from different psychological disorders differ from each other in the extent to which they admit they need help and the extent to which they are resistant to therapy. For which disorders are patients most likely and least likely to cooperate with therapeutic interventions?
3. A major difference between insight therapies and behavior therapies is in their position about whether it's necessary or useful to seek out the origin of psychological difficulties. A compromise position might be that this kind of information is important for patients with some disorders, but not for patients with other disorders. Explain why this kind of information might be more helpful for some kinds of patients than for others.
4. It is believed by some that all psychological disorders can be traced to some sort of biological malfunction, especially malfunctions in the nervous system. In other words, in a perfectly formed and perfectly functioning biological organism, there could be no psychological disorder. If this were true, then the "ultimate cure" for any psychological disorder would be a biomedical cure. Explain why this position does or does not make sense to you.
5. In light of the differences between the various psychological disorders and their hypothesized etiologies, it would seem that for each disorder, a particular type of therapy might work best. Discuss this notion, and give examples using specific disorders and specific approaches to therapy to support your arguments.
Good luck!!
