Answer to Question 1

C
Psychoneuroimmunolo gy is a branch of study that would best explain the mind-body connection exerting a favorable influence on the second person. It is based on the theory of the relationships between psychological factors (emotions, feelings, thoughts, etc.) and the immune system. The immune system is influenced by these psychological factors through the hypothalamic pituitary axis of the sympathetic nervous system. This model is based on Selye's general adaptation syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

A
The group leader most likely is using a cognitive-behavioral approach to group therapy. This approach would focus on changing behavior by providing an alternate behavior, such as repeating a positive affirmation. The cognitive aspect would relate to the homework assignment or being told to repeat the positive affirmation every day.
