D

Answer to Question 2

A common way of describing schizophrenia is by categorizing its symptoms as either positive or negative. Positive symptoms are abnormal behaviors, unusual perceptions, or thoughts that are present, while negative symptoms involve the absence of something normal. Thus, inappropriate emotion would be a positive symptom and a lack of emotion would be a negative symptom. It should be noted, however, that a single individual is likely to exhibit both types of symptoms. GRADING RUBRIC - 10 points total, 5 for each categorization.
