Question

Jamie is very angry and tells his friend, "I studied for that test. I should have gotten at least a B. That teacher is so unfair. Everything would be great around here if it wasn't for her.". According to REBT, Jamie's anger is due to

a. external events, such as his test grade.
b. learned helplessness.
c. his irrational and unrealistic beliefs.
d. a transference of feelings from his mother to his teacher.

Answer 1

The correct answer is c. his irrational and unrealistic beliefs.

Step-by-step explanation:

R.E.B.T also known as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy is a form of psychological therapy which involves the belief that is not the event that happens that causes the emotions but its the beliefs that causes the emotions to anger us or feel depressed or anxious. We can see that in Jamie's case he's very angry because of his beliefs, he believed he would get at least a B, therefore the cause of his anger are his irrational and unrealistic beliefs.
