This quiz was very informative
Why not the one “Jill believes that anxiety is the result of poor social skills.”? Poor social skills is also a manipulable variable that we could change.
I agree. Social skills are trainable targets, so I was also confused by this one! But I believe it is because the training is a consequence of having poor social skills and poor social skills may be considered a psychological event since it is something a person “does”.
Yeah, that wasn’t the best question / answer combination.
I also thought this was the case as poor social skills are something that could be directly affected by education.
“Poor social skills” refers to behavior or psychological events. It can certainly be a behavior you are targeting, but if you are claiming that poor social skills are the *cause* of another behavior or psychological event (e.g., anxiety), then you are not taking a functional contextualistic approach.
I thought so too!
I am confused. How is it possible to change/manipulate culture?
I agree. Culture can be predictive but how can you manipulate it on any pragmatic basis?
I think what it refers to is that someone can leave or enter a culture, not that the culture itself is manipulated.
It is true that people can leave or enter a culture, but it is also true that culture itself can be manipulated and changed. “Culture” can be viewed at many different levels (e.g., the “culture” of my family, my school, my city, my country, etc.), but at virtually any level culture changes and evolves. Some of that change is quite deliberate. For example, when the U.S. Congress passes a new law, they are quite deliberately changing the culture (or at least a specific aspect of it) of the entire country. When a teacher introduces a new behavior management method to their classroom, they are manipulating the culture of their classroom. Individuals or small groups are not typically as effective at changing culture at a large scale, but it would be a mistake to assume they cannot do so. Most historical figures, for example, had a very clear and deliberate impact on our culture.
