Option 3 is the most correct (pg 27). Option 3 Concern The client informs the consultant
what is wrong and problematic. Option 1 Need increase the level of awareness of
HIV/AIDS related issues. Option 2 Expectation clients expectations are realistic (develop
a HIV/AIDS awareness programme that will increase the level of awareness of HIV/AIDS
related issues) and can be performed by the consultant.
Option 4 is the most correct. Option 4 Structural information covers theoretical
knowledge, while procedural information includes practical knowledge.
Option 4 is the most correct (pg 263). Option 4 Paragraphs usually focus on one main
idea.
Option 3 is the most correct (pg 122-3). Option 3 Validity relates to the proper
understanding of the subject material. The project phases are distinct from each other,
suggesting each phase follows successively from the previous one. Thus, the student
showed poor understanding of the subject material in thinking the information follows a
hierarchal form, but instead shows process. Option 1 Visiograms help reveal basic
structure such as those of a family tree, human anatomy or a house plan. Option 2 Flow
charts model processes while expandable tree structures convey hierarchy.
Option 2 is the most correct (pg 122-3). Option 2 Extending Training from Programme
construction will imply the phases follow a hierarchy, which is not accurate since the
phases show a related process. Option 1and 3 Flow charts model processes while
expandable tree structures convey hierarchy.

understanding of the methods that we should use to get proper scientific knowledge when
we explore a given domain of reality. Option 1 Epistemology component involves the
criteria according to which scientific knowledge is considered true knowledge. In this case,
it is implied that our information is based on sound knowledge. Option 2 Ontology
component concerns the reality that constitutes the psychologists field of study learnt
powerlessness and community participation. Option 3 Ideological component refers to
the worldview that informs our research study or the motives for our study.
Option 2 is the most correct (pg 260). Option 2 shows the identified variables that should
be tested within the questionnaire learnt helplessness and community participation.
Option 2 is the most correct. Option 2 Learnt helplessness can be included within this list.
Option 1 is the most correct (pg 93-4). Option 1 should be stated in the following way:
Calculate a t-score to determine whether more people have low learnt helplessness than
high learnt helplessness.
Option 2 is the most correct (pg 93-5). Option 3 The t-score calculated is the difference
between the two universities, performance scores is the primary variable used to indicate
this difference. Option 4 The scenario reads: you are curious whether there is a
difference in their performance. The t-score is thus a perfect measure in this case. Option
2 The significance is too low for us to prefer Unisa students.

we arrive at an entity that is able to think of itself (subject/thinker/actor) and one that is
thought about (object). In the process of thinking of ourselves, we realize that the self is a
concept that remains constant in certain aspects (Option 1), but still changes as we

compare the two variables namely, group norm insight and level of task orientation.
Option 2 is the most correct (pg 86). Option 3 The correlation coefficient calculated is
intended to measure the relation between the two universities; performance scores and
university ratings are two variables used to indicate this relationship. Option 4 The scenario
reads: you are curious whether their performance relates to the quality of university they
come from. The correlation coefficient is thus a perfect measure in this case. Option 2
