In which type of modeling does an individual perform anxiety-evoking behaviors for a client to then engage in?

  1. Covert modeling

  2. Participant modeling

  3. Self-modeling

  4. Symbolic modeling

The correct answer is: Participant modeling

Participant modeling is when an individual performs anxiety-evoking behaviors for a client to then engage in. It is different from covert modeling, which involves observing others performing a behavior, and self-modeling, which uses images or videos of oneself performing the desired behavior. Symbolic modeling is a type of therapy that uses guided imagery and role-playing to help with fears and anxieties, but it does not involve physically performing behaviors for a client. Therefore, the correct option is B.
