Explanation / Answer

Question 39: True

Explanation : Collectivism can be defined as emphasis given on a society as a whole for the greater benefit than an individual person. Japan, China and India are often viewed as being collectivist culture.

Question 40: False

Explanation : Punishment can be defined as the use of an aversive stimulus in order to weaken or reduce a behaviour or response. Punishment is often confused with negative reinforcement and also not used appropriately. Repetitive use of punishments doesn't render the same effect and thus loses its effect. This is what people often do and therefore the statement that most people use punishments effectively is false.

Question 41: True

Explanation : Expectancy value theory was formulated by Martin Fishbein in 1970. This theory states that an individual 's behaviour towards a goal is decided by how much of expectancy the person has towards accomplishment of the goal as well as the value the person places on the goal. Thus even if a person feels the reinforcement is very attractive if the chances of success are low the person won't pursue it.
