How would you like us to help you with this test?
I recently decided to go back to college to earn my degree and the book price is way over my budget. so im looking for little help in PSY since its my first time taking this course
If you can't afford the book, then you'll need to learn to use internet sources.
Jiskha tutors do not give answers.
However, I still don't think you can pass this class without the book. Most test questions emphasize what the book's authors say.
I'm sorry -- but you are apparently the victim of a scam -- of an affordable college education.
Try to get your money back.
You might also find a used copy of this textbook online.

To answer these questions, we'll need to analyze the given information and use our knowledge of psychology. Let's go through each question one by one:
Question 1:
To determine if David is suffering from a phobia, we need to understand the symptoms of a phobia. A phobia is an excessive or irrational fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. In David's case, he has a fear of flying but is still willing to fly when necessary. This suggests that his fear does not significantly interfere with his daily life. Therefore, the statement "David is suffering from a phobia" is False.
Question 2:
Shanell is described as having no friends, considering herself unattractive, and feeling inadequate as a daughter. These characteristics indicate low self-esteem, which is a negative evaluation or perception of oneself. Therefore, the correct answer is "Low self-esteem."
Question 3:
Janice has been diagnosed with high blood pressure and is aware that stress is a contributing factor. The question asks what she should try to lower her stress levels. The options provided include connecting with her support system, making time for things that are fun and relaxing, and maintaining a regular routine for sleep, eating, and physical activity. All of these options are effective strategies for reducing stress. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."
Question 4:
Daniel deals with high levels of stress, smokes, has poor eating habits, and does not take his medication. The question asks what his situation is associated with. Given that his stress is increasing due to worry over his health and limited resources, the most appropriate answer is "Socioeconomic status."
Question 5:
Jennifer is experiencing an increase in heart rate and respiration while trying to complete her homework. She has also been diagnosed with high blood pressure. The options provided include stress, aging, placebo effect, and self-regulation. Given that her symptoms are associated with increased physiological arousal, the most likely answer is "Stress."
