Answer to Question 1

Cluster ADisorders Characterized by Odd or Eccentric Behaviors
Three personality disorders are included in Cluster A: paranoid personality, schizoid personality, and schizotypal personality. These personality disorders share characteristics, including overlapping environmental and genetic risk factors, which are similar to those found in the schizophrenia spectrum disorders (Esterberg, Goulding, & Walker, 2010). There is some evidence that individuals with disorders in this grouping have a greater likelihood of having biological relatives with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders (APA, 2013).

Cluster BDisorders Characterized by Dramatic, Emotional, or Erratic Behaviors
The group of disorders in Cluster B, characterized by dramatic, emotional, or erratic behaviors, includes four personality disorders: antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic.

Cluster CDisorders Characterized by Anxious or Fearful Behaviors
The remaining cluster of personality disorders is characterized by anxious or fearful behaviors. This category includes the avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders.
