Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: In the mid-1960s, psychologist Martin Seligman at the University of Pennsylvania, who would later lead the happiness and positive psychology trend in psychology, began research on a limited-domain facet of personality called learned helplessness. It is defined as a condition resulting from the perception that we have no control over our environment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: High scores on the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) correlated with a high degree of autonomy. High scorers openly express their emotions. They are assertive in relating to others, nonconforming, and confirmed risk takers.
