Question

How do the changes with age of the prevalence rates for externalizing and internalizing disorders compare?

Answer 1

Answer:

As we age, Externalization disorders decline, while internalization disorders intensify.

Explanation:

Internalizing habits and disorders are mainly characterized by self-related factors such as distress, drowsiness and depression. While Externalizing habits and disorders are generally identified by acts in the outside world, such as reacting out, anti social behavior, violence, and aggression.

Externalisation is mostly associated with our youthful time when we are young wild and free and a s we grow we outgrow such behaviour due to responsibility and interactions of life so therefore it decreases. While internalisation increases as we grow older because of the people we met and the responsibilities and life changing experience we have had.
