Question

Psychologist Theodore Millon suggests that children whose behavior is rigidly controlled and punished by parents, even for minor transgressions, may develop behavioral characteristics associated with which personality disorder?

Answer 1

Answer:

Avoidant Personality Disorder

Explanation:

The children exhibit the symptoms of avoidant personality disorder due to disapproval, criticism, and rejection from parents. The children avoid a public situation in which they might experience disapproval or rejection. The parental acceptance, rejection, punishment, or overly authoritative control adversely affect the personality and performance of the child. Consequently, they feel fear to take part in the challenges of life.
