Study Notes
Correlation
- A positive correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase.
- A negative correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease.
PAP Code of Ethics
- Principle 1 emphasizes the importance of respecting the dignity and worth of individuals and the protection of their welfare.
- Principle 4 focuses on maintaining professional competence and upholding professional standards.
National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R)
- The lifetime prevalence of having any DSM-IV disorder is approximately 46.4%.
- The primary focus of the NCS-R is to assess the prevalence and correlates of mental disorders in the US population.
Risk Factors and Causality
- A risk factor is a characteristic, experience, or event that increases the probability of developing a disorder.
- Etiology refers to the study of the causes of abnormal behavior or disorders.
- A necessary cause is a factor whose presence is required for a disorder to occur.
- A sufficient cause is a factor that, when present, guarantees the occurrence of a disorder.
- A variable risk factor is a characteristic or experience that increases the probability of developing a disorder, but whose presence or absence does not guarantee the occurrence of the disorder.
- A contributory cause is a factor that contributes to the development of a disorder, but is not the sole cause.
