Influences on Personality Formation

Question 4 • LHS-Psychology (1 cr.)

Which of the following is a cognitive feature of a person with a somatoform disorder?

Answer
A
They tend to be highly emotional.
B
They have difficulty forming relationships.
C
They demonstrate care-seeking behavior.
D
They have an unrealistic view of good health.

Explanation

A cognitive feature involves a person’s thoughts and beliefs. Someone with a somatoform disorder may have an unrealistic view of what good health means, such as interpreting ordinary sensations as signs of serious illness. Being highly emotional or seeking care describes emotional or behavioral features, rather than a cognitive one.
