Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depersonalization is a feeling of detachment from oneself or one's surroundings, often associated with anxiety or stress. Given this definition, it is unlikely that expectant women would express apathy, resentment, or hostility to their pregnancies. However, seeing an ultrasound photo of the fetus may increase their sense of connection and commitment to the pregnancy. Therefore, the best choice is C, commitment.
