"when i was young, i met a large dog. i wasn't afraid of the dog, but as i tried to pet it, the dog snarled and jumped at me. i have been afraid of dogs ever since." a therapist who assumes that this sentence describes a phobia acquired from classical conditioning most likely favors which model of abnormality?

Respuesta :

I believe the answer is: Behavioural

Behavioural model of abnormality happen when a certain behaviour is altered because of the positive or negative thinking that we had toward a certain things that act as a trigger for the behaviour. In the sample above, the behaviour was caused because of  negative thinking on Dogs as a trigger.
