Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The goals of cognitive restructuring are for clients to monitor their maladaptive thoughts and beliefs, look for evidence supporting their beliefs, dispute their maladaptive self-statements, substitute adaptive thoughts, and thus change their patterns of distorted thinking and, consequently, their behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Generalization happens when a conditioned response becomes associated with similar stimuli. For example, if a response such as a child's polite behavior (saying please or thank you) happens at home repeatedly, the child is very likely to display that behavior in circumstances outside the home given similar conditions. Some people who become frightened in specific social situations may begin to avoid similar situations and gradually develop social phobia, in which they avoid all social situations; this may account for this man's fear.
