Expert Solution

Step 1

The behaviours that deviants from social norms are dysfunctional and causes discomfort or agony are considered abnormal. The emerging thinking patterns are likely to hinder their daily functioning like self-care or fulfilment of tasks. The proponents of psychology explain abnormal behaviours through a different perspective, few are as follows:

Biological perspective views abnormal behaviour a result of an individual's genetic makeup or history of trauma or infections. It accounts for genetic vulnerability to develop disorders.
The psychodynamic perspective states that abnormal deviant behaviours emerge due to the influence of unconscious repressed taught or negative childhood experiences or issues that are not resolved.
The behavioural perspective states that abnormal behaviour is learned by forming associations or by positive or negative reinforcement of behaviours. The behaviours only receiving positive reinforcements are facilitated.
The cognitive perspective states that impairment in the taught or pattern of the relating patterns causes abnormal behaviours.
The biopsychosocial perspective views abnormal behaviour as a product of the complex interplay of genetics factors, behaviour factors, and environmental factors.
