    Furthermore, normal and abnormal psychology are perceived differently in different cultures. To differentiate normal and abnormal psychology is similar to compared intelligences among individuals. For example, “Rosenhan concluded that the sane are sometimes insane. By the same token, the insane are sometimes sane” (Kowalski & Westen, 2011, Chapter 14). Although the perception of psychology varies, normal psychology is a socially acceptable behavior; a behavior that everyone does not consider out of the ordinary and is the norm in today’s society. In addition, to understand normal psychology, one must understand what is abnormal. Abnormal psychology is the study of people who psychologists consider mentally ill. Another term for abnormal psychology is psychopathology. An individual, who has an abnormal sequence of thoughts or behaves unusually and could harm their lives as well as the lives of others, is mentally unstable. In addition, “Over centuries, Western culture has attributed mental illness to a variety of causes, such as demonic possession, supernatural forces, witches, and Satan” (Kowalski & Westen, 2011, Chapter 14). Different cultures develop their own assessment of what is irregular behavior. In America, irregular behavior is an individual’s belief he or she are someone who may have…

    Abnormal Behavior

    • 2 Pages

    A known psychological disorder is abnormal behavior. Abnormal behavior is classified into four different categories. The characteristics of these categories consist of statistical deviance, cultural deviance, emotional distress, and dysfunction. Each behavior has specific characteristics as reasons for their classifications. Statistical deviance is sometimes wrongly classified such as being extremely intelligent or being a very good athlete. According to statistical deviance, as the textbook explains, a behavior is abnormal if it occurs infrequently among members of a population. Cultural deviance classifies abnormality to be behavior that would be considered abnormal if it violates standards of a society or culture. Emotional distress is associated with people who are unhappy and who feel as if they are lost or alienated from others. Dysfunction is considered a breakdown of normal functioning. People classified with dysfunction may have thinking impairment and be unable to adapt in their environment. Each of these classifications is somewhat different though they each have the same reasoning.…
