Exam 3 Study GuideModules 31-37, ecopsychologyAs always, please know that this is a good (but not perfect) guideline for what you will find on the exam. I always test most on content that class and the book discusses, with some questions just based on class and just a few based on only the book. Please reach out with any questions you may have  You’ve got this!Emotion- What does it mean to say “emotions are procedural knowledge”?- How are emotions and moods different?- What are the two dimensions of emotions (in the US)? What is the third dimension that Japan considers? If you graphed these dimensions, where would you place an emotion like friendliness? Pride? Boredom? Ashamed? Excited? Nostalgic? Generous? (note—these are just examples, feel free to think of others!)- What are the 6 cross-cultural emotions?o Why do we consider them cross-cultural?- What individual differences do we see across people and their emotions?- What is a difference between women & men when it comes to emotion?o What is a myth about women & emotion?- What is the purpose of emotions?

How were they different?- What does it mean to “place individuals in an ecological context”?- What are the four basic tenets of ecopsychology?- Describe some ways that nature improves physical, mental, social, and spiritual health.o Can you remember any studies about how they got these findings? How would you study these?- What are the below three theories? You only need to know a sentence or so about each—just enough to get the “jist” and know the difference between them.o Stress Reduction Theoryo Biophilia Hypothesiso Attention Restoration Theory- What is the New Ecological Paradigm?- What is Nature Deficit Disorder? Why would we need to “diagnose” this? (Diagnose is in quotations because this is not actually a diagnosable disorder… yet!)- What are some reasons nature contact is declining?- Why do we need social justice work within ecopsychology?Stress/Coping- What’s the difference between stress and a stress reaction and a stressor?- What is the cognitive appraisal model?o If you failed an exam (not your psych one of course), what are some positive/helpful appraisals? What are some negative/harmful appraisals? What would it look like if you used problem-focused coping for this situation?
