Question

Which of the following is included in the four D’s of abnormal behaviour?

• A. Dysfunction
• B. Deviance
• C. Both (A) and (B)
• D. None of these

Hint:

Four D’s = Deviance, Distress, Dysfunction, Danger. If two of these appear, select Both.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A common heuristic for defining abnormality uses the Four D’s: Deviance (from norms), Distress (subjective suffering), Dysfunction (impairment in work/relationships/self-care), and Danger (to self/others). Because both Deviance and Dysfunction belong to this set, the combined option is correct. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) Both (A) and (B).}} \]
