  • 2. 

    Protective factors improve response to some environmental hazard, resulting in an adaptive outcome.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Protective factors are characteristics or conditions that can enhance an individual's ability to cope with and overcome adversity. These factors can include personal traits, social support, and access to resources. When individuals possess these protective factors, they are better equipped to respond effectively to environmental hazards and mitigate their negative impact. This ultimately leads to an adaptive outcome, where individuals are able to navigate and overcome the challenges presented by the environmental hazard. Therefore, the statement that protective factors improve response to environmental hazards and result in an adaptive outcome is true.

    Explanation
    Mental disorders are not solely caused by either genetic or environmental factors. Research suggests that a combination of both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of mental disorders. While certain genetic variations may increase the susceptibility to mental disorders, environmental factors such as traumatic experiences, stress, and substance abuse can also play a significant role in triggering or exacerbating these disorders. Therefore, it is important to consider both genetic and environmental factors when studying and addressing mental disorders.
