Answer to Question 1

D
In a double-blinded study, neither the subjects nor the persons evaluating the outcome know whether any subject is receiving active treatment or placebo. In a regular blinded study, the researcher knows who is receiving treatment and who is receiving the placebo.

Answer to Question 2

A
Accomplishment of a goal, no matter how small, is very rewarding, and incremental goal-setting can be an effective way to provide opportunities for success. Giving frequent positive statements without foundation will not effectively build self-esteem in the child, and making major goals for the child will probably be overwhelming. Children with low self-esteem will not be motivated to participate in a peer self-help group because they usually withdraw and are not motivated to work on goals without guidance and help.
