As our module reading highlights, applying test-taking skills involves what students do before, during and after the test. It includes managing test anxiety, becoming familiar with types of test questions, and using tests as a learning tool.

Think about these components as you review your process in applying test-taking skills.

Share responses to the following questions or statements:

• Explain how one or two of these suggestions for managing test anxiety can help you manage stress in test-taking and in a situation you face outside school.
• In addition to better grades, describe at least one benefit you could experience by taking tests more effectively.
• Of the techniques that you gained from this chapter, choose one that you will use on your next test. Cite it and outline exactly how you intend to apply the technique.

“By the early 1970s, the revolution was over in America, and San Francisco—its fall- en capital—staggered on the edge of chaos,” David Talbot writes. “The city was overrun with false prophets and savage messiahs, as well as double agents and police inform- ers. Strange creeds and mysterious leaders developed overnight followings. Inexplica- ble communiques were issued from the underground. The sacraments of blood and guns replaced peace and love.” Briefly describe some notable examples of blood and guns replacing peace and love in the 1970s.

The “First Principles” are the thought by Aristotle that in order for things to exist there must be causes for them to have gained existence and of these causes the highest and most important contributions to these causes are referred to as the first principles. The theory of causation explains that the ultimate causes or first causes exist rather than an infinite set or infinite types of causes. The four causes that explain why knowledge can be obtained are a part theories and types of causes introduced by Aristotle. Formal, Final, Material, and Efficient causes are his explanation to how all things began to exist and where the knowledge for them can be within a definite number. According to Aristotle there must be causes for certain things to have gained existence and of these causes the highest and most important contributions to these are referred to as the first principles.

Some of the first principles to explain the existence of the universe have been the four causes made by Aristotle that all things are made of ultimate causes and that they are of a definite number. Plato thought that Platonic forms existed in a separate and eternal reality and as universal forms were the cause of the existence of all things. Kant’s perception of the first principles was the idea that there was a perfectly independent noumenal being that created all things and was the cause for existence.

The reason for making sure there is agreement about the first principles before discussing a topic in philosophy is to make sure that everyone can accept the reasoning that is given during a discussion and to ensure that everyone that is involved in the discussion is carrying the purpose of their points from the same base beginning. It also makes sure that subject of the conversation has the same cause of existence to ensure that comparisons and contrasts that are looked at within the conversation are better compared equally and fairly.

We have all heard the saying, "You have one chance to make a good first impression". If we were going to analyze this in social psychology terms, what would we say? What is the source of most of your knowledge about impression management?

For each of the following scenarios, decide which of the play therapy skills described in the Vernon text (tracking, restating content, reflecting feelings, returning responsibility to the child, using the child’s metaphor, and limit setting) you would use to respond to the child. Generate several different responses to each one, remembering that you can combine several kinds of skills in a single response.

Glenda, a 6-year-old, was referred because she seems to be extremely distressed about her parents’ recent divorce. She comes into her third play therapy session frowning and crying, sits down, and says, “I hate my mom. I wanted to play, and she made me come here.”

Oscar and Olivia are, for the most part, a very happily married couple. They live in Missoula, Montana. Both Oscar and Olivia are outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy skiing, hiking, and fishing in the beautiful country surrounding their town. Oscar has a fairly high-paying job at a computer company, and seems to be “moving up fast.” Olivia has a fairly low-paying job with the county as a social worker. Both have graduate degrees, and were lucky enough to find jobs in the same town. They both like their jobs very much.

One day Oscar arrives home and is very excited. He has just been offered a very prestigious promotion, accompanied by a substantial raise. If he takes it, he will eventually be a vice president of the company. The job does entail, however, a move to Chicago. He thinks Olivia will be excited about the promotion too. He tells her with great enthusiasm.

The following conversation ensues:

Oscar: Olivia, I know this means moving, and that you like your job, but I am sure you can find something in Chicago.

Olivia: But Oscar, I hate Chicago, and I am just now feeling “settled” in my job, and I love it. I don’t want to move.

Oscar: But Olivia, don’t be ridiculous. Chicago is a wonderful place, and I am sure there’s a lot more social work to be done there than in this small-time town.

Olivia: I just don’t want to move and that’s that.

Oscar: You’re making $30,000, and I am making $48,000. If I take the promotion, I’ll be making $58,000 with no end in sight. Don’t you think you’re being selfish?

Olivia: Don’t you think you’re being selfish?
Oscar: I don’t believe this! I thought you’d be happy for me! See you later, I’m going drinking

with the guys.

Considering the information above, please answer the following questions.

1. Identify Olivia’s topic, relationship, identity and process goals in this conflict.

2. Identify Oscar’s topic, relationship, identity and process goals in this conflict.

3. Choose to be either Oscar or Olivia in this scenario. Then discuss how your (i.e., Oscar’s or

Olivia’s) goals changed. (Hint: think of prospective, transactive and retrospective goals.)

4. While still identifying as Oscar or Olivia, suggest possible solutions to this conflict and state why

you believe these possible solutions may result in the best outcome given the situation.

5. What suggestions do you, as yourself, have for the parties in this conflict?
