According to the biological approach, what may be a fundamental cause of dysfunctional behaviour?

• Social learning

• Genetic cause

• Classical conditioning

• Stressful life events

The nature of dysfunctional behaviour according to the psychodyanmic perspective may be caused by?

• It is a result of unresolved conflict between the id and superego

• It is solely based on operant conditioning

• It is always caused by traumatic childhood experiences

• A river's unpredictable flow

• A garden with both weeds and flowers

• A computer's software glitch

• An intricate maze with multiple exits

According to a behaviourist theory. which dysfunctional behaviour is learnt?

• Genetic inheritance

• Operant conditioning

• Information processing

• Environmental triggers

How may stressful environments influence individual behaviour?

• By directly modifying an individual's genetic structure

• Through the development of coping mechanisms that may be maladaptive

• By enhancing cognitive functions to better deal with stress

• By reducing the impact of genetic predispositions on behavior

What does the Humanistic perspective emphasize as a trigger for dysfunctional behaviour?

• Information processing issues

• Environmental factors and individual responses
