Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Abnormal psychology focuses on understanding abnormal behavior, psychological disorders, and psychiatric illnesses. A prostitute, while potentially engaging in behavior that is considered socially or morally deviant by some standards, does not inherently exhibit abnormal behavior in the psychological sense. Psychopaths, developmentally delayed individuals, and anxious persons, on the other hand, may all be subjects of study in abnormal psychology due to the presence of psychological disorders or behaviors that deviate significantly from normative developmental or psychological patterns.
