Question

which of the following is most likely associated with the inability to form healthy relationships, which may lead to negative thoughts and depression?
learned helplessness
genetic vulnerability
poor social skills
misplaced anger

Explanation:

Poor social skills directly affect relationship - building. Difficulty in communication and interaction (due to poor social skills) can lead to isolation. Isolation often causes negative thoughts and may contribute to depression. Learned helplessness is more about a perceived lack of control over outcomes. Genetic vulnerability is an inherited predisposition. Misplaced anger is about directing anger incorrectly, not directly about relationship - forming ability.

Answer:

C. poor social skills
