no on 3.
then which one is it?
The idea is you try once more. Only one possible answer makes sense.
Is 3 d. emotional stability
1. The correct answer is d. an impulse-control disorder. This is because the individual in question is unable to control their impulse to continue playing video games, even when it interferes with their other responsibilities or obligations, such as eating dinner with their family.
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the other options by understanding their definitions:
- An anxiety disorder (a) involves excessive worry or fear about everyday situations and can manifest in various ways, such as panic attacks or phobias. While the individual may experience some anxiety about leaving the game, this alone does not necessarily indicate an anxiety disorder.
- A phobia (b) is an intense, irrational fear of a specific situation or object, leading to avoidance. While the individual may display some aversion to leaving their game, it is not necessarily a phobia unless there is a clear and disproportionate fear involved.
- Bipolar disorder (c) is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings between manic and depressive episodes. There is no evidence in the given scenario to suggest that the individual's behavior is linked to bipolar disorder.
2. The correct answer is a. an anxiety disorder. Phobia is a specific type of anxiety disorder characterized by an intense and irrational fear of a particular object, situation, or activity.
To determine this answer, we need to be familiar with the definition of a phobia and understand that it falls under the broader category of anxiety disorders. The other options listed are unrelated to the description of a phobia:
- Schizophrenia (b) is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior, disorganized speech, and hallucinations. It does not involve irrational fears or phobias.
- Bipolar disorder (c) is a mood disorder characterized by drastic shifts between mania and depression, not anxiety or phobias.
- An impulse-control disorder (d) involves an inability to resist impulsive behaviors and does not directly relate to the fear-based symptoms of a phobia.
3. The correct answer is b. conscientiousness. Conscientiousness refers to being responsible, organized, self-disciplined, and diligent in carrying out tasks.
To reach this answer, it's essential to understand the definition of conscientiousness and compare it to the other personality traits listed:
- Extroversion (a) refers to being outgoing, sociable, and energized by social interactions. While being responsible and self-disciplined is valuable, it does not necessarily indicate extroversion.
- Agreeableness (c) refers to being friendly, cooperative, and willing to compromise with others. While responsible individuals can also display agreeableness, it is not directly linked to the given traits of responsibility and self-discipline.
- Emotional stability (d) refers to the ability to remain calm and composed even in stressful situations. Although emotional stability can contribute to being responsible and self-disciplined, it is not the exact trait described.
