Essay
1. Why is it important to weight effect sizes by the number of participants in each study?
Instructor Resource
Weis, Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology, 3e
SAGE Publishing, 2017
Ans: If you don’t do this, your average effect size across multiple studies is incorrect, because the effect
size of each study would receive equal weight, regardless of the number of participants. This is especially
damaging because small sample sizes are the most likely to have inaccurate results, and they will be
given equal weighting in the overall effect size as larger studies whose data is likely more correct.

2. What is the difference between ethics and morality? Can something ever be ethical and immoral, or
moral and unethical?
Ans: “Ethics refers to the standard of behavior that is determined to be acceptable for a given profession.”
Morality is a person’s individual beliefs of the rightness or wrongness of a given behavior. “Ethical
behavior is determined by group consensus; morality is determined by one’s personal convictions.” For
instance, medical ethics allow for abortion, but a person’s morality may not. On the other hand, a person’s
morality may allow for euthanasia, while medical ethics do not.

providing mental health care?

work. Students should not take on more responsibility than they have received training for or than they
can personally handle while maintaining their emotional well-being.

4. H. M. was a famous subject who contributed a great deal to what we know about memory today. Due
to a lesion in his medial temporal lobe he had profound anterograde amnesia—he could not make new
memories. When seeing people he had met thousands of times before, it was, to him, like meeting them
for the first time. Given this information and what you know about the requirements for consent, was H. M.
able to provide consent for the many psychological experiments he participated in over the years?
Ans: No. Consent has the requirement that the person has the ability to understand the facts and
consequences of participating in treatment—it can be inferred that this doesn’t just mean momentarily,
but the long-term implications of participating or having participated in the experiment, which H. M.
couldn’t think through and retain. He also would have less ability to voluntarily withdraw from an
experiment than the average participant, because he might not know where he was or what he was doing
in the middle of an experiment.

9. Why might it be the case that behavior therapy, overall, works best for children?
Ans: Children may not be advanced enough cognitively to benefit from cognitive or psychodynamic
therapies; they may not have developed social skills enough to benefit from interpersonal therapies, and
because of their lack of control over their environment, family therapies will only be effective to the extent
that other members of the family are involved. However, behavior therapies are more simplistic. (Other
answers possible; this isn’t discussed in the text, it would be conjecture).
