Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: According to Seligman, people with an optimistic explanatory style tend to be healthier than people with a pessimistic explanatory style. Pessimists tend to believe that their actions are of little consequence and, as a result, are unlikely to try to prevent illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Correlations between sensation seeking and intelligence test scores are generally positive but not high. A study of children in the Republic of Mauritius, an island nation in the
Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa, found that those who scored high in sensation seeking at age 3 scored 12 points higher on intelligence tests at age 11 than children who scored low in sensation seeking at age 3.
