Dr. Schwiesow, a school psychologist, is interested in understanding whether the student she is evaluating displays off-task behaviors that are much higher than that of same-aged peers. She is likely to be considering psychopathology from which perspective?

I believe the answer is: . Statistical deviance

Statistical deviance refers to a set behaviour that is considered to be abnormal by , considering the average behaviour that displayed by other samples. In students (which is most likely on teenage years), behaviours that considered to be a statistical deviance could be things such as narcotics consumption, pregnancy, open relationship, etc.
