Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Women are more often diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and related disorders than are men. There actually may be a higher incidence of these disorders among women, or the differential rate may be related to gender bias or gender stereotyping in interpreting the assessment results.

Answer to Question 2

FEEDBACK: In clinical interviews, counselors routinely observe their clients' behaviorconsidering, for example, facial expressions, nervous gestures, and general appearanceand use that information in formulating their diagnoses. Such observations are less systematic than formal behavioral assessment procedures, but the results can provide valuable insights.
