Answer to Question 1

B
In the study by Ugarriza (2002), the researcher found that informants emphasized the experience of feelings of fatigue and weakness as major components of depression, in contrast to DSM-IV, which emphasized feelings of guilt, worthlessness, weight loss, and suicidal ideation.

Answer to Question 2

A
To study the effects of an aerobic exercise training program on the feelings of depression in an HIV-positive population, researchers used a randomized controlled trial of a supervised, 12-week aerobic training program. At the end of the 12-week exercise intervention, the experimental group showed reductions in depressive symptoms.
