Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The validity of the DSM's personality disorders (choice C) is not a concern related to sampling bias. Sampling bias concerns relate to how samples are selected and whether they accurately represent the broader population. The validity of the DSM's personality disorders is a separate issue, more related to the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic criteria rather than how research samples are chosen.
