  • How would you describe the evolution of abnormality across time, and how do you define abnormality?
  • If you were going to conduct a research study to determine whether or not a behavior is “normal” or “abnormal,” what sort of design or methodology do you feel might be effective?
  • What modern theoretical perspective of abnormality (biological, psychological, or sociocultural) do you think you might like to explore further as part of your final project for this course? Why?
