三、简答题

1、Why are reliability and validity important in intelligence testing? Because the goal of psychological measurement is to generate findings that are both reliable and valid.While reliability and validity reflect a test ability to make accurate predictions about behaviors or outcomes related to the design of the test.

Reliability（信度） is the extent to which an assessment instrument can be trusted to give consistent scores. Reliability refers to the consistency or dependability of behavioral data resulting from psychological testing or experimental research. A reliable result is one that will be repeated under similar conditions of testing at different times.

Validity（效度） is the degree to which it measure what an assessor（主试） intends it to measure. Validity means that the information produced by research or testing accurately measures the psychological variable or quality it is intended to measure .A valid experiment means that the researcher can generalize to broader circumstances，often from the laboratory to the real world.

2、Why do people experience decision aversion（决策的偏转/厌恶）? Decision aversion is the tendency to avoid to avoid decision making；the tougher the decision，the greater the likelihood of decision aversion. Because people would expect that adding an option would decrease the share of the other option.The keyto obtaining this effect is to make the decision hard.It’s convenient to put the hard decision off，to wait for more information.

As much as people are averse to making decisions，they are generally happier to make them themselves than to let other people do so for them.

3、Could you explain James-Lange theory of emotion? And please give

one example.

A view that emotion stems from bodily feedback became known as James-Lange theory of emotion. It says that perceiving a stimulus causes autonomic arousal and other bodily actions that lead to the experience of a specific emotion. James-Lange theory of emotion is considered a peripheralist theory because it assigns the most prominent role in the emotion chain to visceral reactions，the actions of the autonomic nervous system that are peripheral to central nervous system.

Eg：We feel sorry because we cry，angry because we strike，afraid because we tremble.

4、Describe two examples of how you use stimulus generalization（刺激泛化） and discrimination（分化） in everyday activities.

Stimulus generalization：As a child，I always got sick，and went to hospital frequently. I remember the doctor who gave me medicine to eat wore white uniform，the nurse who gave me a painful injection wore a white uniform，thus，once I was taken to a barbershop，I saw the barber in a white uniform，I felt scared.

Stimulus discrimination：When I first attended a class，I didn’t know what the bell rang meant at first, but the teacher told us，we must sit in our seats as quickly as possible as soon as we heard the bell as it stood for the beginning of the class. The one who didn’t act like that would be reproached and even punished. After a week，everyone in my class knew the bell meant to sit down quickly.
