Question

1. An athlete who is in fact well prepared nevertheless thinks just before a contest, "I can't do this! I need to be perfect, and I know I'm going to fail!" The theorist who would focus on the athlete's illogical thinking process as a key factor in his subsequent poor performance MOST likely would support which model of abnormality?

Answer 1

Answer: Cognitive

Explanation: Cognitive Model argues that people's emotions and behaviors are influenced by their perception of events. It is not a situation in itself that determines what people feel, but rather how they interpret a situation.

The cognitive model of interactions (cognition, mood, and behavior) suggests a variety of interventions, ranging from those programmed for affect modification to behavioral change as well as cognition-focused interventions.
