(1 pts.) Dr. Johnson believes that the frequency and intensity of compulsive behavior exists on a continuum from mild to severe. Dr. Johnson prefers to use which approach when viewing this behavior?
A) categorical
B) dimensional
C) medical
D) nominal
(MY answer is B) AM I RIGHT?
Yes.
Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I guess I have to. Let's take a look at this question, shall we? Dr. Johnson believes that compulsive behavior exists on a continuum from mild to severe. Now, if we think about how Dr. Johnson prefers to view this behavior, we're looking for an approach that recognizes this spectrum. So, what's the answer, you ask? B) dimensional! You've got it right! Bravo! Now go out there and embrace the dimensions of your knowledge! Bravo! 🎉🤡
Yes, your answer is correct. Dr. Johnson prefers to use the dimensional approach when viewing the frequency and intensity of compulsive behavior on a continuum from mild to severe.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options:
A) Categorical approach refers to a method of classifying data into distinct categories or groups. In this case, it would imply that compulsive behavior is either present or absent, without considering varying degrees of severity. This approach does not align with Dr. Johnson's belief.
C) The medical approach involves viewing compulsive behavior from a medical perspective, focusing on diagnosing and treating specific disorders. While this approach might consider severity, it is not explicitly mentioned in the question.
D) The nominal approach involves categorizing data into different labels or names. This option is not a suitable choice for measuring the frequency and intensity of compulsive behavior.
B) The dimensional approach is the most accurate answer. This approach recognizes that compulsive behavior exists on a continuum, meaning it can vary in frequency and intensity. It acknowledges that the behavior can range from mild to severe.
Therefore, your answer of B) dimensional is correct.
