Which approach to therapy employs classical and operant conditioning and encourages clients to increase awareness of their thinking patterns?

A. Self-serving bias refers to the tendency to attribute personal successes to internal factors and failures to external factors, which does not apply to the teacher's judgment in this scenario.

B. Snap judgment refers to making a quick, often inaccurate, judgment about someone without considering all relevant information, but it is not specifically related to attributing behavior to internal traits.

C. The fundamental attribution error occurs when someone attributes another person's behavior to their internal characteristics (such as laziness) rather than considering external factors (such as traffic or family issues) that may have contributed to the behavior.

D. External attribution involves explaining behavior based on external factors, which would not align with the teacher's assumption that the student is lazy.

A. Systematic desensitization is a technique used in exposure therapy to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing the person to the feared stimulus in a controlled, step-by-step manner.

B. Psychoanalysis focuses on exploring unconscious processes and past experiences to uncover the root causes of symptoms but does not directly involve replacing responses to harmful stimuli.

C. Aversive conditioning involves pairing a harmful or undesirable stimulus with an unpleasant or negative response, often to reduce unwanted behaviors (e.g., using nausea-inducing substances to stop smoking).

D. Rational-emotive therapy (RET) focuses on changing irrational beliefs, but it does not involve pairing stimuli with negative responses.
