Question 1 14 / 14 pts Jin works in a private practice with a counselor who specializes in treating teens with anxiety. Jin’s supervisor, Dr. Katz, has asked him to regularly assess his clients in order to track and report whether they are improving in response to treatment. Jin gives each of his clients a brief anxiety scale every other week, tracks his clients' scores on a graph, and shares this data with Dr. Katz in weekly supervision meetings. What kind of research design is Jin using? Client group research design. Outcome evaluation design. Correct! Single system (or single case) research design. Quasi-experimental research design. Correct! Question 2 14 / 14 pts A summative program evaluation would answer which of the following questions? Is the program serving the population it was intending to serve? What need does the program fill? How effective are the staff members? Correct! Are the clients getting better? Correct! Question 3 14 / 14 pts Maria is a counselor at an inpatient facility, and she has been asked by her supervisor to plan an evaluation of a new group technique for helping chronically, severely depressed clients. Typical treatment involves clients attending daily individual counseling sessions, plus group sessions three times each week (“treatment as usual” or TAU). The new technique involves having a family member attend relational therapy (RT) sessions with the client once a week in addition to TAU activities. Maria expects that after six weeks, the clients receiving TAU + RT will score lower on a depression inventory than clients receiving only TAU. When Maria plans her statistical tests, what will the dependent variable be? TAU.

TAU + RT. Correct! Scores on the depression inventory. Gender. Correct! Question 4 14 / 14 pts Kara has been invited to be on a small committee tasked with reviewing applications for an outstanding counseling program award in her state. One application she reviews displays gains in client satisfaction in exit surveys over the past three years but does not have data about whether clients have reduced symptoms or have attained target outcomes. Kara sets the application in the "no award" pile, because: Correct! Clients’ satisfaction is not a measure of whether their counseling needs were met. Client satisfaction studies tend to yield highly positive evaluations but give no information about the efficacy of the counseling. Clients who are not happy with services tend to drop out, so only satisfied clients are given exit surveys. All of the above are true. Correct! Question 5 14 / 14 pts Focus groups are often very helpful when evaluators need information about whether counseling or psycho-educational materials will make sense to individuals from cultures who will be served by the intervention. This type of evaluation is called: Correct! Formative evaluation. Summative evaluation. Efficacy evaluation. Effectiveness evaluation. Correct! Question 6

14 / 14 pts Clarissa has proposed a new idea to her supervisor: She believes that adding mindfulness meditation training to her agency’s usual counseling program (TAU) will result in clients with social phobia having greater reductions in anxiety symptoms after six weeks. She also believes, based on her review of the literature, that the effect of the usual program plus mindfulness training (TAU + ) will be more powerful for the female clients than for the male clients. Clarissa’s supervisor agrees to let her test this idea. In Clarissa’s experience, what is the dependent variable? Correct! Anxiety symptoms. Type of treatment (TAU or TAU +). Gender. Number of weeks of treatment (six). Correct! Question 7 14 / 14 pts Bethany and Shatrisse are counselors in a summer camp for foster children. The directors of the camp are concerned about increases in bullying behavior during recreational time. Bethany and Shatrisse propose a token reinforcement strategy in which children will be rewarded intermittently when they exhibit pro-social behavior. The camp directors instead favor a plan in which bullying will be punished by a time-out when it occurs, but Bethany and Shatrisse are convinced that they can turn things around with their plan of rewarding positive behavior. The directors pride themselves on using evidence-based practices, so they agree to allow Bethany and Shatrisse to test their idea of doing daily counts of bullying behavior for four weeks. During Week 1, no tokens will be given. During Week 2, tokens for pro-social behavior will be given. During Weeks 3 and 4, this pattern will be repeated. Bethany and Shatrisse will graph the number of bullying incidents each week and expect to see dramatic reductions during Weeks 2 and 4 (the token weeks). The directors agree that if the plan works and these differences are seen, the token economy will become a part of the camp's regular treatment procedures. What kind of research design are Bethany and Shatrisse employing? A single-case outcome design. Correct! A single system (or single case) research design used for formative evaluation. A mixed-methods design with graphs. A one-group, post-test-only design. Correct!
