Two separate research groups have conducted studies investigating Treatment B for anxiety, and each has found that the treatment group experienced more improvement than a waitlist control group. On the basis of this information alone, we would describe Treatment B as

a. experimental.
b. possibly efficacious.
c. probably efficacious.
d. certainly efficacious.

Question 2

A few studies have found that Treatment A for anxiety, a manualized treatment, is not only superior to a placebo treatment, but produces outcomes at least as good as an existing well-regarded, widely used treatment for anxiety. These studies have been conducted by different investigators, and the client samples have been specified clearly. On the basis of this information, we would describe Treatment A as

a. well-established.
b. probably efficacious.
c. possibly efficacious.
d. empirically verified.
