False
|

False
|
|
12. Presently the experimentally induced effects of secure base priming, though robust, only last a few months.

True
False
|

13. Secure base priming has been found to be correlated to a wide range of positive outcomes. It has been associated with increased compassion, altruism, and openness to different ethnic groups. However, it has not been found to affect self-esteem or reduce
anger or effect whether or not someone experiences post-traumatic stress disorder.
|
True
False
|
|
14. Otway, Carnelley and Rowe in their studies of repeated secure base priming expanded the traditional view of felt security to include an energy component that can best be described as a "subjective vitality as feelings of aliveness and vivacity.”
|
True
False
|
|
15. Otway, Carnelley and Rowe utilized email to prime their subjects.
|
True
False
|
|
16. Otway, et. al. found that although their results were similar to other priming studies, they didn't find an increase in felt security.
|
True
False
|
|
17. Otway, et. al. found that the priming effects only lasted a few hours.
|
True
False
|
|
18. Researchers have found that although the instinct to
bond is hardwired in humans, sustaining long-term relationships takes effort - effort to find love, effort to grow it, and effort to sustain it.
|
True
False
|
|
19. John Bowlby's attachment theory may be thought of as a theory of love. There is a strong connection between our first experiences of love with our parents and how we approach love and romantic intimacy in adulthood.
|
True
False
|
|
20. People with insecure attachment are less
optimistic and hopeful about their adult intimate relationships. They anticipate rejection or don't seek care and comfort in their close relationships.
|
True
False
|
|
21. Richard Davidson, at the University of Wisconsin, found you can change how we approach problem-solving (seeing a glass as half empty to seeing it as half full) by practicing mindful-meditation six times a week for approximately 254 days.
|
True
False
|
|
22. Secure base priming has only be tried with guided imagery and images.
|
True
False
|
|
23. Attachment theory is a developmental, life-span theory. It attempts to explain how secure attachment develops as well as insecure attachment patterns.
|
True
False
|
|
24. According to Bowlby, the development of an
attachment orientation in childhood is based on many
encounters and interactions with caregivers, which gradually create a mental network of relatively stable expectations and concerns.
|
True
False
|
|
25. Attachment categories are essentially psychiatric diagnoses.
|
True
False
|
|
26. The rates of secure attachment vary from culture to culture.
|
True
False
|
|
27. It's not the quality of attachment, but rather whether we attach or not.
|
True
False
|
|
28. Securely attached children and adults both have close friendships and relationships.
|
True
False
|
|
29. There is no relationship between parents having secure attachment and the attachment style/status of their children.
|
True
False
|
|
30. Couples who are secure are generally good at seeking care, accepting care and providing care to each other.
|
True
False
|
|
31. Attachment theory may be thought of a theory of affect in that securely attached children and adults can flexibly up-regulate when needed and down-regulate when needed.
|
True
False
|
|
32. Insecurely attached adults tend to regulate their emotions in ways that dramatically decrease cognitive control and coherence.
|
True
False
|
|
33. Securely attached adults tend to represent their emotions and feelings through language and maintain cognitive clarity and coherence.
|
True
False
|
|
34. The cognitive aspects of attachment are entirely about one's self-esteem.
|
True
False
|
|
35. Working models can only be recalled through psychotherapy.
|
True
False
|
|
36. Neuroscience studies have identified the one part of the brain that is solely involved in regulating attachment behaviors.
|
True
False
|
|
37. Canterbury and Gillath found SB priming activates areas of the brain that release dopamine (neurotransmitter), vasopressin and oxytocin (neuro-peptides).
|
True
False
|
|
38. Acevedo, Aron and colleagues conducted fMRI studies of men and women in long-term, satisfying, stable relationships and found that greater relationship
satisfaction was positively correlated with activation in several regions in the brain.
|
True
False
|
|
39. The neurological findings highlight key neural sites that may mediate the link between relationship
quality with psychological and physical well-being and health.
|
True
False
|
|
40. Priming is primarily related to learning, and not memory functions.
|
True
False
|
|
41. Because attachment patterns are so implicit (and not conscious), each interaction with a therapist is an opportunity for the patient to become conscious of and reappraise working models or learn new affect regulation strategies.
|
True
False
|
|
42. Mikulincer and Shaver hypothesized that having a secure base could change how a person appraises threatening situations into more manageable events without activating insecure attachment type behaviors such as avoidance, fear, or preoccupation.
|
True
False
|
|
43. Semantic networks are a process of spreading neural activation that touches upon affective as well as semantic nodes. These nodes that are linked to each other to create a coherent knowledge set, such as father, holding, safety, love, affection, etc.
|
True
False
|
|
45. Attachment style activation is governed by cognitive principles of schema availability and accessibility. The more likely a schema is both available and accessible, the more likely the schema will be activated.
|
True
False
|
|
