Week 12 Knowledge Check

1. Which statement best captures Week 12 Day 1 — Classification Without Diagnosis? comorbidity — the presence of more than one diagnosable condition in the same person. diagnosis — a professional clinical classification based on defined criteria, assessment, context, and judgment. stigma — socially devaluing beliefs, attitudes, or treatment attached to a characteristic or label. psychotherapy — structured psychological treatment delivered by a qualified professional using evidence-informed methods to address psychological difficulties and functioning.

2. Which statement best captures Week 12 Day 2 — Disorder Families as Maps, Not Labels? stigma — socially devaluing beliefs, attitudes, or treatment attached to a characteristic or label. psychotherapy — structured psychological treatment delivered by a qualified professional using evidence-informed methods to address psychological difficulties and functioning. comorbidity — the presence of more than one diagnosable condition in the same person. confidentiality — a professional obligation to protect private client information within defined legal and ethical limits.

3. Which statement best captures Week 12 Day 3 — Biopsychosocial Model & Stigma? psychotherapy — structured psychological treatment delivered by a qualified professional using evidence-informed methods to address psychological difficulties and functioning. confidentiality — a professional obligation to protect private client information within defined legal and ethical limits. diagnosis — a professional clinical classification based on defined criteria, assessment, context, and judgment. stigma — socially devaluing beliefs, attitudes, or treatment attached to a characteristic or label.

4. Which statement best captures Week 12 Day 4 — Treatment Evidence in Pictures & Tables? psychotherapy — structured psychological treatment delivered by a qualified professional using evidence-informed methods to address psychological difficulties and functioning. confidentiality — a professional obligation to protect private client information within defined legal and ethical limits. diagnosis — a professional clinical classification based on defined criteria, assessment, context, and judgment. comorbidity — the presence of more than one diagnosable condition in the same person.

5. Which statement best captures Week 12 Day 5 — Professional Ethics Case Conference? diagnosis — a professional clinical classification based on defined criteria, assessment, context, and judgment. confidentiality — a professional obligation to protect private client information within defined legal and ethical limits. comorbidity — the presence of more than one diagnosable condition in the same person. stigma — socially devaluing beliefs, attitudes, or treatment attached to a characteristic or label.

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

7. Which interpretation rule is most important when applying Week 12 findings? A group average determines each person's outcome. A psychological measure is identical to the construct itself. One plausible explanation eliminates all alternatives. Respect the boundary: group finding ≠ individual conclusion.

8. What is the most defensible purpose of the Week 12 research/data lab? Students inspect a supplied infographic that uses: - relative percentages without baseline values; - a truncated graph; - no follow-up; - no burden data. Produce a diagnosis from classroom data. Guarantee that one condition caused every observed difference. Remove uncertainty by ignoring limitations.

9. A fictional Week 12 comparison reports 74% in Condition A and 74% in Condition B. Which conclusion is strongest? Condition B is proven best for every person. The displayed conditions differ (74% vs. 74%), but the table alone does not establish why the difference occurred or how broadly it generalizes. The larger percentage proves the measured construct was perfectly valid. The difference can be called causal without knowing the design.

10. Which Week 12 application best preserves the course's ethics and person-level inference boundary? Ask students to disclose private health histories for a grade. Use one class activity to label a person's personality or mental health. 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. Treat scientific explanation as permission to excuse harmful behavior.
