Discuss the pros and cons of labeling a child with a significant mental health disorder.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

In the Thom et al. (2000) study of the treatment of dental-phobic patients, if participants in the two experimental groups showed reduced anxiety from pretest to posttest, could the researchers conclude that the treatments were effective in reducing anxiety?
 
  a. Yes. Reduction in anxiety for the experimental groups would prove the effectiveness of the treatment.
  b. No. There are many possible reasons why patients would show reduced anxiety, so the only way to know if the cause was the treatments would be to use a control group that did not get a treatment.
  c. Yes, but only if one of the groups had a greater reduction in anxiety than the other.
  d. No. To conclude that the treatments were effective, they would need to see if the effects last for many years afterwards.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
