Social Psychology and Psychological Disorders Research
Examine the four criteria for abnormal behavior (statistical infrequency, disability or dysfunction, personal distress, and violation of norms) using the textbook, Wiley Media site, and the ITT Tech Virtual Library.
Complete the following:
In your own words, define what "normal" and "abnormal" mean.
Locate and provide two scientific definitions of abnormal behavior-from the textbook, through online research, from a dictionary, or from any resource in the ITT Tech Virtual Library.
Describe the four criteria to be met for behavior to be considered abnormal and provide an example of each.
Discuss the need for multiple criteria and explain why one criterion is not enough to accurately classify abnormal behavior or a psychological disorder.
Can you think of any behavior you exhibit that might be considered abnormal if your own cultural norms were not taken into account?
