Question 12 • SHS Alt Psychology S2 - 2021

Which of the following is not necessary criteria in determining abnormal behavior?

Answer
A
situational context
B
global assessment
C
maladaptive behavior
D
deviance

Explanation

Abnormal behavior is commonly evaluated using criteria such as deviance from social norms, distress, and maladaptive or dysfunctional effects. Situational context also matters because behavior must be interpreted in relation to the circumstances. A global assessment is not itself a standard criterion for determining whether behavior is abnormal, so the correct choice is “global assessment.”
