Q31- I guess his stress is somewhat psychological but the question asks what the stress is shaped by so hence social factors.

Q35 - the Biofeedback doesn't DIRECTLY do anything to you so you can eliminate B and C. The biofeedback does however highlight the physiological processes when a person is stressed and when you're stressed, your 'flight-flight' response is initiated (increase heart rate, breathing rate etc etc) so the most logical answer is D.

Explanations may not be convincing enough... someone else might do better.

His stress is shaped by his strong work ethic ---> that's his mindset ---> psychological. Not convinced.

q35 - yah B and C gone. I put A 'cause you're using your mind (thought processes) to control your matter (body)

For question 31 I also put in A because it's his family's strong work ethic plus that he lost his job, both social factors, which contributed to his stress.

According to Hans Selye's general adaptation theory, the sympathetic nervous system is activated in the stage referred to as:

A. Countershock
B. Shock
C. Alarm
D. Resistance

I chose C because I was told that Shock and Countershock are not stages. Thoughts?

From QAT.

I was informed by a 2010 50'r that exam writers aren't picky in MCQ but the Chief Assessor is in Short Answer.

Did the same but my teacher told me in a situation like that to just choose the best possible answer. Hope that helps :).

For the NEAP 2011 exam, would we really need to memorise the steps for a psychological experiment? (for the actual exam)?

Thanks :)
