Can you help determine what would be the best approach to answering the following question? I selected E but the wording NOT has me unsure about whether to select D.
Which of the following are NOT representative of psychological causal factors of abnormal behavior?
A. Inadequate parenting styles
B. Abuse and neglect in the home
C. Peer rejection
D. none of the above
E. All of the above are representative of psychological casual factors
Certainly A, B, and C are potential causes of abnormal behavior, aren't they? So which are NOT psychological causal factors?
You are right to be confused, though. Both D and E mean the same thing, so we have no idea which will be considered "correct" by the computer program that checks your answers. I wish I could help more. I'd choose D.
The answer was E. I do agree with you about D and E are the same. Thanks again.
To determine the best approach to answering this question, we need to carefully analyze the options provided and consider the wording of the question.
The question asks for the option that is NOT representative of psychological causal factors of abnormal behavior. Let's look at each option:
A. Inadequate parenting styles
B. Abuse and neglect in the home
C. Peer rejection
Option D states "none of the above," which implies that all the options A, B, and C are representative of psychological causal factors of abnormal behavior.
Option E states "All of the above are representative of psychological causal factors," suggesting that all options A, B, and C are indeed psychological causal factors of abnormal behavior.
Considering the wording of the question, it asks specifically for the option that is NOT representative. Therefore, if option E is selected, it contradicts the specification of the question since it claims that all options are representative of psychological causal factors.
Given this analysis, the correct answer would be E.
