Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Dysthymia is a mild depressive illness in which symptoms, such as poor appetite or overeating, insomnia or excessive sleep, low energy, fatigue, low self-esteem, poor concentration, and difficulty making decisions, are chronic but less severe than with major depression. Diagnostic criteria include depressed or irritable mood most of the day, occurring more days than not for at least 2 years.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The original theoretical model of learned helplessness proposed that people susceptible to mood disorders have come to believe, based on experience, that they are ineffective and have no influence on factors that cause their suffering (Seligman et al., 1974). Behaviors that define learned helplessness include passivity, negative expectations, and feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and powerlessness.
