Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Incongruence is defined as the discrepancy between a person's self-concept and aspects of his or her experience. We learn to evaluate experiences, and to accept or reject them, not in terms of how they contribute to our overall actualization tendency, but in terms of whether they bring positive regard from others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: A study of adolescents found that when their mothers used conditional positive self-regard to reward them for academic achievement, and punish them for non-achievement, their feelings of self-worth became erratic. When they got good grades, for example, they behaved in self-aggrandizing ways. But when they did not get good grades, they felt shame and tend to downplay or devalue their sense of self-worth (Assor & Tai, 2012).

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
