- Statistical Infrequency
- A person's trait, thinking of
behaviour is classified as
abnormal if it is rare or
statistically unusual.
- For example: an individual who has an IQ
below/above the average level of IQ in society is
abnormal
- - Fails to recognise the desirability
of the particular behaviour e.g.
high IQ
- Many rare behaviours/characteristics (left
handedness) have no bearing on
abnormality or normality.
- Some characteristics are regarded as abnormal even though they are
quite frequent. DEPRESSION may affect 27% of elderly people (Nimh,
2001). This would make it common but that doesn't mean it isn't a
problem.
