PSY 215 Discussion Abnormal Psychology

Discussion: What Is Abnormality? Welcome to PSY 215! First, by way of introduction, tell us a little about yourself (e.g., who you are, where you are from, prior experience studying psychology, prior online learning experience, your learning style, your major, what you like to do for fun, what you hope to get out of your time spent in this class, etc.). Next, after reading Chapters 1 and 4, address the following in your initial post:  How would you describe the evolution of abnormality across time, and how do you define abnormality?  If you were going to conduct a research study to determine whether or not a behavior is "normal" or "abnormal," what sort of design or methodology do you feel might be effective?  What modern theoretical perspective of abnormality (biological, psychological, or sociocultural) do you think you might like to explore further as part of your final project for this course? Why? Be sure to support your answers with information derived from the readings using APA-style citations and references. For assistance, refer to the Research & Citations page on the SNHU Online Writing Center website. In responding to your peers, try to move beyond simply echoing their sentiments or complimenting their work. It is important that you use critical thinking skills by exploring these topics from multiple angles. You can enhance the conversation by sharing additional findings from either the textbook or other resource, present a unique example, offer a counter-perspective, ask a challenging follow-up question, relate the topic to current events or the media, and so forth. To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.
