Explanation / Answer

Question 13).

Gender bias on the oart of clinician.

According to Widiger and Corbitt (1995), established gender differences in the prevalence of normal personality traits could explain the gender differences found in the prevalence of personality disorders. For example, antisocial personality disorder includes low agreeableness (i.e., deceit, lack of compliance, tough-mindedness), and men tend to score lower on this trait than women. Therefore antisocial personality disorder is more prevalent in men than women. Also, Kaplan (1983) asserts that behaving in a stereotypic feminine manner alone can earn a diagnosis. Evidence exists that clinicians are biased to diagnose women more often than men with borderline personality disorder.

Question 14).

Schizoid Personality Disorder

People with schizoid personality disorder tend to be distant, detached, and indifferent towards social relationships. They are loners who prefer solitary activities and who have difficulty in expressing strong emotion. They prefer to be lonely and aloof from others.
