Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Apologizing repeatedly is indicative of self-effacement. Anger, demanding attention, and wearing attention-getting clothing are not characteristics of a poor self-concept.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Maintaining a rigid pose for long periods of time is an example of behavior expected with catatonic schizophrenia.
