DEPRESSION Depression is a
psychological disorder in which a person is overwhelmed by an emotional crisis.
Symptoms of depression include feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and despair;
loss of interest and pleasure in things; weight loss or weight gain; difficulty
falling asleep or sleeping more than usual; lack of motivation; and loss of
energy. A growing body of evidence suggests that several types of depression are
linked to biological and environmental factors. In cases of mild or situational
depression, the symptoms usually decline with a change of scenery or routine, or
when the problem that caused the depression disappears. Now
cover the passage and listen to the lecture. You may take notes, and you may use
your notes to help you answer the question. After you hear the question, begin
preparing your response. You may look at the question, but NOT at the passage.

问答题Reference Group A reference group is a concept referring to a group to which an individual or another group is compared. It is the group to which the individual relates or aspires to relate himself or herself psychologically. It becomes the individual's frame of reference and the source for organizing his or her experiences, perceptions, cognition, and ideas of self. Reference groups provide the benchmarks and contrast needed for comparison and evaluation of group or personal characteristics. Robert K. Merton hypothesized that individuals compare themselves with reference groups of people who occupy the social role to which the individual aspires. Question: The professor uses one example to illustrate the definition of "reference group". Explain how this example is related to the reading passage.
