question a person's thoughts and behaviour might be deemed abnormal
- 00:23
if they what And here are potential answers shmoop Well
- 00:28
we all have thoughts and behaviours that are slightly different
- 00:31
from the norm For instance you might need to check
- 00:33
that the door to your house is locked three times
- 00:36
before you leave Or maybe your heart doesn't swell every
- 00:39
time you see a puppy with little tail wagging Well
- 00:43
however a person's thoughts and behaviours must meet certain criteria
- 00:46
before they can be deemed abnormal The criteria include being
- 00:50
maladaptive that's a behavior that does not provide appropriate adjustment
- 00:55
to the environment or situation For instance an adaptive behavior
- 00:59
would be taking your puppy on a sunset walk so
- 01:02
you can feel true joy A maladaptive behavior would be
- 01:06
ignoring this sweet little guy when he asked for belly
- 01:08
rubs that would be entirely absurd and therefore inappropriate for
- 01:12
this situation the second criteria is that it needs to
- 01:15
be seen as uncommon That is the thought or behavior
- 01:19
should be deemed an unusual occurrence within the general population
- 01:23
and seeing his two thirds of american households have at
- 01:25
least one head well this one's given fiercely who wouldn't
- 01:28
want to spend time with this little dude Lastly the
- 01:30
thought our behavior needs to be classified as irrational In
- 01:34
other words it has to not make sense or not
- 01:36
be brought on by an obvious case Okay just look
- 01:39
at this face Just try and tell us that resisting
- 01:42
this would be rational Nope can't irrational indeed bearing these
- 01:46
three criterion mind we can see the both a b
- 01:48
and c all fit meaning is the answer we're looking
- 01:50
for and no an actual quote Clinical psychologist unquote would
- 01:55
probably not qualify A disdain for puppies is being technically
- 01:58
abnormal but thankfully we're not one of those So we're 00:02:01.672 --> [endTime] free to say you're a weirdo
