Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The DSM-IV-TR (APA, 2000) lists three negative characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia: alogia, affective blunting, and avolition. Other common negative symptoms include anhedonia and attentional impairment. Poverty of speech is classified as a negative symptom, while hostility, bizarre behaviors, and thought disorders are considered to be positive symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Schizophrenia is thought to have multiple etiologies. The overwhelming body of scientific evidence suggests that schizophrenia is a brain disease. Computed tomography scanning and magnetic resonance imaging have shown frequent enlargement of the lateral cerebral brain ventricles in people with schizophrenia.
