Question

The night before a presentation he tosses and turns, and the resulting lack of sleep makes the situation worse. When he makes a presentation, he often becomes confused and stumbles over his words. As a result, he feels worthless and miserable. Which two criteria of abnormal behavior are most useful in analyzing this case?

a) inability to function normally and statistical rarity
b) personal distress and inability to function normally
c) statistical rarity and deviance from social normsd) deviance from social norms and personal distress

Answer 1

subjective discomfort or personal distress and inability to function normally

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of not having the normal sleep is somehow severe in some cases.

In this case, the person involved did not sleep well the day that preceded the presentation and that was where he/she was finding it difficult to pick the right words at the right time.

This means he/she was personally distressed or feeling discomfort and this led to inability to function normally.
