Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Modeling involves demonstrating desired behavior patterns to a learner. Therapists model behaviors when they teach social skills, such as caring and appropriate regard for others. The therapist models regard for others with the expectation that the learner will copy that behavior. The caring behavior is then reinforced. Given sufficient practice of the caring behavior paired with its reinforcement, regard for others gradually becomes part of the client's behavioral inventory.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Denial is refusing to recognize a reality that might be troublesome or traumatic. Regression refers to going back to an earlier and happier time of development. Projection is when a person refuses to recognize behavior in oneself and instead projects it or sees it in someone else. Sublimation means taking repressed feelings and transforming it into positive and constructive pursuits.
