The correct answer is A. Dependent personality disorder

Explanation:

In psychology, a personality disorder refers to a type of mental disorder that commonly involves persistent and nocive behaviors and thoughts. This includes narcissistic personality disorder that implies thoughts and behaviors that are self-centered; borderline personality disorder that involves changing moods, actions, thoughts and self-image; avoidant personality disorder that involves social anxiety and inhibition; and dependent personality disorder that occurs when individuals depend on other people to meet certain emotional needs, because of this, individuals with this disorder experience anxiety when they are asked to act autonomously and rely on others to make decisions and feel confident.

Considering this, Jerry is likely to be diagnosed with a dependent personality disorder because he needs from others to make basic decisions, lacks self-confidence and experiences anxiety or fear if he does not rely on others, which is part of this disorder.

Answer:

Personalization

Explanation:

Personalization is an irrational way of thinking that what others do or say is personally relevant. It has to do with feeling attacked when people are saying words generally.

A person engaging in personalization may also see themselves as the cause of some unhealthy external event that they were not responsible for as in the case of Azdah.

xxMikexx [17]
This is an example of ascribed status.
She was ascribed, or given the status of 'heiress to the Trump fortune' just by being born. She didn't really do much in order to achieve her goal of gaining that fortune but was rather just gifted the fortune upon her birth. Her gaining that status was not a voluntary decision.
