Answer to Question 1

Answer: Perceived control is not enough to ensure adequate coping if that control is later taken away. Whereas Langer and Rodin (1976) provided a sense of control that continued after the study was completed, Schultz (1976) introduced a temporary intervention. Schultz's studies suggest that perceived control is so powerful that researchers should be careful not to take it away when the study is over.

Answer: C
