Why do expressions like “inappropriate behavior,” “satisfactory interpersonal relationships,” and “socially maladjusted” present such difficulties in defining emotional disturbance?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should discuss the subjectivity of definitions of words like inappropriate and satisfactory and indicate their awareness of the difficulties associated with this category.
Additional discussion of how such terms might be objectified would be appropriate. Examples of gathering judgments from several people and from different settings, and of operationalizing behaviors that are in question, would round out this answer.
