Question

question 19
maladaptive behaviors that reduce worry and fear are most indicative of
a epigenetics.
b survivor resiliency.
c natural selection.
d an anxiety disorder.

Explanation:

• Epigenetics is about gene - environment interactions, not directly related to reducing worry/fear through maladaptive behaviors.
• Survivor resiliency is about positive adaptation after trauma, not maladaptive.
• Natural selection is an evolutionary concept, not relevant here.
• Anxiety disorders often involve maladaptive behaviors (like avoidance) to reduce worry and fear.

Answer:

D. an anxiety disorder.
