Personality Disorders

Question 11 • Psychology ULHS B

All of the following are found to have a strong association with individuals who have a personality disorder except __________.

Answer
A
being an adopted child without a family history of personality disorders
B
having a biological relative with a schizophrenic disorder
C
being an adopted child with a biological relative with a mental disorder
D
having a biological relative with a personality disorder

Explanation

Personality disorders are associated with inherited vulnerability and a family history of mental illness. Having a biological relative with a personality disorder or schizophrenia, or being adopted while having a biological relative with a mental disorder, may indicate increased risk. An adopted child with no family history of personality disorders is the exception because that description does not identify this family-history risk factor.
