Dr. Sheffield is a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating pathological gambling. Pathological gambling is defined as

being unable to resist impulses to gamble. Bothered by not having a good measure that he can give to clients to determine whether they are suffering from this condition, he creates a new measure of pathological gambling. The measure has 15 questions, and it takes 20 minutes to complete. To test his measure, Dr. Sheffield gives his measure to a group of people in Gamblers Anonymous (GA) and another group of people in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He finds that people in the GA group have higher scores on his new measure than people in the AA group. This procedure is known as a prediction paradigm. test-retest paradigm. group evaluation paradigm. known-groups paradigm.

Answer:

This procedure is know as:

D. known-groups paradigm.

Explanation:

Dr. Sheffield already knows the traits of each of the two groups - the gamblers and the alcoholics. What he is doing is establishing the validity of his measure by applying it to a group that has a certain trait - the gamblers - and to a group that does not have a certain trait - the alcoholics. This procedure is an example of known-groups paradigm. It is important to note that this type of procedure can also be applied to two groups that do possess the same trait, but with the purpose to verify which one will score higher on it.

A man, en route to the hospital by ambulance, is in fibrillation. He arrives DOA (dead on arrival); the autopsy reveals a blocka
kow [346]

The cause of his death would be myocardial Infraction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atrial fibrillation is irregular heartbeat that can lead to heart failure, strokes, blood clots or any other cardiac complications. Its been said that the man experienced fibrillation when he was on the way to hospital in ambulance from this we can infer that in this stage his cardiac output would be zero or less.

This may lead to myocardial infraction, the so called heart-attack. MI occurs when a part of the heart lacks oxygen due to blockage of coronary artery that supplies the heart with pure blood (oxygenated blood).

The major factors that cause myocardial infraction are namely active smoking, old-age, high blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein or diabetes mellitus.

It is given that the autopsy resulted that the man had a blockage of the posterior interventricular artery, so from this we can conclude that the cause of death is myocardial infraction.
