,Chapter 02: Theoretical Perspectives on Abnormal Behaviour
Chapter 02 Multiple Choice Questions
1. An integrative approach to the case study of Hailey at the start of the chapter
A) would focus on how maternal postpartum depression factors combine with peer social stressors in triggering
depression.
B) would focus on how genetic factors interact with atypical synthesis of neurotransmitters to produce depression.
C) would infer biological, psychological and social factors from Hailey's developmental history and describe how these
factors have interacted over time to produce depression.
D) would infer multiple biological and social factors from Hailey's history and then describe how these factors have
dynamically and reciprocally interacted over time.
E) would look at Hailey's history of thoughts, feelings and behaviours and integrate these in an account of how and when
her depression emerged.
Difficulty: 2
QuestionID: 02-1-01
Page-Reference: 25
Skill: Conceptual, application
Answer: C) would infer biological, psychological and social factors from Hailey's developmental history and describe how
these factors have interacted over time to produce depression.
2. A theory of abnormal behaviour
A) should only consider biological factors.
B) should be abandoned when shown to be incorrect, regardless of whether there is a better one available.
C) should not be considered useful if it has been shown to be incorrect, even if it generates further research.
D) should be judged solely on how well it matches current information.
E) should be abandoned only when there is a better one available.
Difficulty: 3
QuestionID: 02-1-02
Page-Reference: 26
Skill: Conceptual
Answer: E) should be abandoned only when there is a better one available.
3. Single-factor explanations
A) tend to identify risk factors rather than specific causes of dysfunctional behaviour.
B) emphasize one factor as being a major contributor to a particular psychological disorder.
C) are generally preferred over other explanations because of their simplicity.
D) often reflect a high level of current comprehensive knowledge of disorders.
E) view behaviour as the product of the interaction of several factors.

all of the following reasons EXCEPT:
A) they make predictions about aspects of the phenomena that had not previously been made.
