Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: In Seligman's terms, people who believe they are in control are optimistic rather than pessimistic. A high degree of control has been related to better coping mechanisms, fewer stress effects, greater mental and physical health, perseverance, higher aspirations and self-esteem, lower anxiety, higher grades, and greater social skills and popularity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Bandura introduced the idea that we learn from watching models (observational learning) and through vicarious reinforcement. Bandura agreed with Skinner that most behaviors are learned and that genetics plays only a limited role.
