Question 8 • Personal Psychology 1

“I would never go to see a psychologist!” Ming says. “They can control people’s behavior and make them do anything!” This statement is untrue because people do what?

Answer
A
respond to classical conditioning but not operant conditioning
B
actively take part in their own learning
C
confuse rewards with punishments
D
resist classical conditioning wherever it happens

Explanation

People are not simply controlled by psychologists; they actively participate in their own learning and behavior change. A psychologist can help someone learn new responses or habits, but cannot make them do anything against their will. So the correct choice is “actively take part in their own learning.”
