  The DSM-5 lists hundreds of different psychological disorders, most of which lie beyond the scope of your introductory course. We will deal with the disorders you are most likely to encounter on the AP Psychology exam.
  After a short explanation of each type of disorder, we will briefly discuss how psychologists from a few of the various perspectives might view the cause of some of the disorders within the category. Keep in mind that many psychologists do not strictly adhere to any one perspective.
  Anxiety disorders, as their name suggests, share a common symptom of anxiety. We will discuss three anxiety disorders: phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder.

conversations.value: Groupthink, a term coined by Irving Janis, describes the tendency for some groups to make bad decisions. Groupthink occurs when group members suppress their reservations about the ideas supported by the group. As a result, a kind of false unanimity is encouraged, and flaws in the group's decisions may be overlooked. Highly cohesive groups involved in making risky decisions seem to be at particular risk for groupthink.
  Sometimes people get swept up by a group and do things they never would have done if on their own such as looting or rioting. This loss of self-restraint occurs when group members feel anonymous and aroused, and this phenomenon is known as deindividuation.
  One famous experiment that showed not only how such conditions can cause people to deindividuate but also the effect of roles and the situation in general, is Phillip Zimbardo's prison experiment. Zimbardo assigned a group of Stanford students to either play the role of prison guard or prisoner. All were dressed in uniforms and the prisoners were assigned numbers. The prisoners were locked up in the basement of the psychology building, and the guards were put in charge of their treatment. The students took to their assigned roles perhaps too well, and the experiment had to be ended early because of the cruel treatment the guards were inflicting on the prisoners.
  Directions: Each of the questions or incomplete statements below is followed by five suggested answers or completions. Select the one that is best in each case.
  Two-thirds of your test grade depends upon your performance on the multiple-choice questions. You will take the multiple-choice section of the test first. It is comprised of 100 questions, and you will be allotted 70 minutes to answer them. The questions are arranged roughly in order of difficulty. Therefore, don't be alarmed if you have more trouble answering the questions that appear later on the exam; that's just the way it should be. Below, we have summarized a few test-taking strategies that we hope will help you with the exam.

conversations.value: The student scores this point at "the cross-sectional method: this is when you take a cross-section of people, in this case people of different ages, and you test them all at once." The student clearly establishes that this study would use people of different ages, testing them all at once and comparing groups of different ages.
  The student scores this point at "find one group of people as kids, then figure out which ones were growing up with permissive parents and which weren't. Then the professor would have to wait until the kids grew up a little, then test their independence again." This indicates that the professor is following one group of participants over a number of years.
  The student scores 2 of these 3 points. Point 5 scores at "get the partipants' permission to even be involved in the study in the first place" (informed consent). Point 6 scores at "make sure that no one was going to be hurt because of the study" (risk). The student does not score point 7 because the last ethical consideration the student discusses (where the study results are published) is not one of the five ethical requirements for research involving human participants.
