Form A

Week 11 Knowledge Check

1. Which statement best captures Week 11 Day 1 — Stress as a Psychophysiological Response? Stress is not merely a feeling and is not automatically harmful. The body's adaptive systems are designed to respond and recover. Coping is not a contest in toughness. Health behavior sits at the intersection of many earlier units.

2. Which statement best captures Week 11 Day 2 — Stress, Sleep, Health & Cumulative Load? Coping is not a contest in toughness. The body's adaptive systems are designed to respond and recover. Health behavior sits at the intersection of many earlier units. Resilience is not a fixed trait possessed by “strong” people.

3. Which statement best captures Week 11 Day 3 — Coping, Control & Social Support? Health behavior sits at the intersection of many earlier units. Resilience is not a fixed trait possessed by “strong” people. Coping is not a contest in toughness. Stress is not merely a feeling and is not automatically harmful.

4. Which statement best captures Week 11 Day 4 — Health Behavior, Habits & Environmental Opportunity? Resilience is not a fixed trait possessed by “strong” people. Stress is not merely a feeling and is not automatically harmful. The body's adaptive systems are designed to respond and recover. Health behavior sits at the intersection of many earlier units.

5. Which statement best captures Week 11 Day 5 — Resilience, Flourishing & Evaluating Wellness Claims? Resilience is not a fixed trait possessed by “strong” people. Stress is not merely a feeling and is not automatically harmful. The body's adaptive systems are designed to respond and recover. Coping is not a contest in toughness.

6. A student makes a broad claim about Mental & Physical Health Psychology. What is the strongest next step? Accept the claim if it is familiar. Define the claim and measure, examine evidence, test an alternative explanation, state a limitation, then calibrate the conclusion. Replace measurement with a personal impression. Treat one observation as proof about every individual.

7. Which interpretation rule is most important when applying Week 11 findings? A group average determines each person's outcome. A psychological measure is identical to the construct itself. Respect the boundary: group finding ≠ individual conclusion. One plausible explanation eliminates all alternatives.

8. What is the most defensible purpose of the Week 11 research/data lab? Produce a diagnosis from classroom data. Guarantee that one condition caused every observed difference. Remove uncertainty by ignoring limitations. Students compare two fictional wellness studies: - Study A: small uncontrolled convenience sample with a large-looking percentage claim; - Study B: larger comparison study with modest but more credible effect.

9. A fictional Week 11 comparison reports 71% in Condition A and 86% in Condition B. Which conclusion is strongest? The displayed conditions differ (71% vs. 86%), but the table alone does not establish why the difference occurred or how broadly it generalizes. Condition B is proven best for every person. The larger percentage proves the measured construct was perfectly valid. The difference can be called causal without knowing the design.

10. Which Week 11 application best preserves the course's ethics and person-level inference boundary? Ask students to disclose private health histories for a grade. Use classroom concepts for literacy and evidence evaluation; do not diagnose yourself or real people, and do not turn treatment evidence into personal treatment advice. Use one class activity to label a person's personality or mental health. Treat scientific explanation as permission to excuse harmful behavior.
