Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: The technique called guided participation involves watching a live model and then participating with the model. For example, to treat a snake phobia, subjects watch through an observation window while a live model handles a snake. Subjects eventually come to touch the snake without gloves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Bandura applied modeling techniques to eliminate fears and other intense emotional reactions. If modeling is the way we learn our behaviors originally, then it should also be an effective way to relearn or change behavior.
