Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Reliability involves the consistency of response to an assessment device. It is common to find some slight variation in scores when a test is taken a second time, but if the variation is large, then something is wrong with the test or with the method of scoring it.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: A problem limiting the applicability of cross-cultural personality research is that the majority of studies in personality use American college students as subjects. Much less research has been conducted on personality in African and South American nations than in English-speaking countries, or in many of the countries of Europe and Asia.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
