Question

Marianne had a very difficult childhood. Both of her parents died in a car accident when she was 5 years old and she was raised by an aunt who was depressed and had a serious drinking problem. Her aunt provided for her physical needs but neglected her emotionally, paying very little attention to her progress in school or supporting her friendships. Marianne moved out at age 16, dropped out of high school, and started shoplifting occasionally when she was hungry. She lived with a friend for several years and worked at a grocery store, but struggles with significant anxiety. Now at age 27, she is studying for her GED, working part-time, and expecting her first baby with her husband.


“Marianne” could be considered to have “good adjustment” based on which of the following definitions of “good adjustment”?

   

She is doing better compared to most other people (positive end of the distribution)

   

Her positive adaptation has been stably maintained over time

   

She has no signs of psychopathology (mental health problems)

   

Her outcome is better than expected given her circumstances
