Question:

Assertion (A) : Cognitive model states that abnormal functioning can result from cognitive problems.
Reason (R) : People may hold assumptions and attitudes about themselves that are rational and accurate.

Options:

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

A is true, R is false

A is false, R is true

Correct Answer:

A is true, R is false

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: A is true, R is false.

Assertion (A) : Cognitive model states that abnormal functioning can result from cognitive problems. This is correct. The cognitive model explains that abnormal behaviour arises due to faulty or irrational thinking patterns, so the Assertion is correct.
Reason (R) : People may hold assumptions and attitudes about themselves that are rational and accurate. This is False as it contradicts the cognitive model. According to this model, individuals with psychological disorders often have irrational, distorted, or negative thoughts, not rational ones. the correct sentence should be 'People may hold assumptions and attitudes about themselves that are irrational and inaccurate.'.
