224. Why is the requirement that the behavior be atypical or not culturally expected important in defining a psychological
disorder?
ANSWER: Sample Answer: Behavior occurs in the midst of social context. Some behavior is appropriate in different settings
within a single culture. One example is clapping during a religious service. This may be completely appropriate at one house of
worship and not another. Other behaviors are appropriate in one culture and not another. Eating a beef hamburger is likely
more appropriate in Indiana than in India. From a different perspective, much of our behavior is culturally ascribed and does
not serve a biological purpose. None of these behaviors are right or wrong, but simply more or less appropriate in a given
context. Normality is defined as adherence to understood social norms.
225. What is the difference between prevalence and incidence? Why is this distinction important in mental health?
ANSWER: Sample Answer: Prevalence is the total number of people in a specific population that have a disorder. Incidence is
defined as how many people are newly diagnosed with a disorder within a given year. Prevalence can tell you how common a
mental health disorder is within a culture while incidence can tell you about the trends of diagnosing a specific disorder. For
example, the prevalence of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is relatively high in the United States with 6.4
million children identified with ADHD in 2011. Incidence has been increasing since 2003 (7.8%) and 2007 (9.5%) 11% in 20
111.
226. Give an example of a modern mass hysteria.
ANSWER: Sample Answer: All answers will tell of one person (or a few people) seriously impacted followed by others (more
people) with mirroring concerns. One example is the panic that ensues after a sudden, loud noise in a crowded area the week
after a major school shooting.
227. You walk out of a store and your car is not in its parking space. Give a one-sentence response from the perspectives of
your Id, Ego, and Superego.
ANSWER: Sample Answer: Id = ”I’m going to find this thief and ring his neck!” Superego = “Could I have parked elsewhere? ”
Ego = “I am so frustrated but I’ve got good insurance.” All answers will differentiate the Id (pleasure principle), Superego
(moralistic), and Ego (mediator).
228. Name some of Sigmund Freud’s lasting contributions to the field of psychology.
ANSWER: Sample Answer: Sigmund Freud was the founder of psychoanalytic therapy. His work focused on the unconscious
mind and how its desires and urges determined personality and disorders. Freud further developed therapeutic techniques
including catharism, dream interpretations, and free association.
