	Abnormality (behavior) In psychology, abnormality (also dysfunctional behavior, maladaptive behavior, or deviant behavior) is a behavioral characteristic assigned to those with conditions that are regarded as dysfunctional. Behavior is considered to be abnormal when it is atypical or out of the ordinary, consists of undesirable behavior, and results in impairment in the individual's functioning. As applied to humans, abnormality may also encompass deviance, which refers to behavior that is considered to transgress social norms. The definition of abnormal behavior in humans is an often debated issue in abnormal psychology. ''Abnormal'' behavior should not be confused with ''unusual'' behavior. Behavior that is out of the ordinary is not necessarily indicative of a mental disorder. Abnormal behavior, on the other hand, while not a mental disorder in itself, is often an indicator of a possible mental or psychological disorder. A psychological disorder is defined as an "ongoing dysfunctional pattern of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Sexual Dysfunction Sexual dysfunction is difficulty experienced by an individual or partners during any stage of normal sexual activity, including physical pleasure, desire, preference, arousal, or orgasm. The World Health Organization defines sexual dysfunction as a "person's inability to participate in a sexual relationship as they would wish". This definition is broad and is subject to many interpretations. A diagnosis of sexual dysfunction under the DSM-5 requires a person to feel extreme distress and interpersonal strain for a minimum of six months (except for substance- or medication-induced sexual dysfunction). Sexual dysfunction can have a profound impact on an individual's perceived quality of sexual life. The term ''sexual disorder'' may not only refer to physical sexual dysfunction, but to paraphilias as well; this is sometimes termed ''disorder of sexual preference''. A thorough sexual history and assessment of general health and other sexual problems (if any) are important when asse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Dysfunction (album) ''Dysfunction'' is the second studio album by American rock music, rock band Staind, released on April 13, 1999, by Flip Records (1994), Flip Records and Elektra Records. It is the band's first studio album released on a record label. Staind self-released their debut album ''Tormented (Staind album), Tormented'' in 1996. On October 23, 1997, the band met Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst. Durst was initially appalled by ''Tormented'' graphic artwork, and refused to sign Staind, but changed his mind after being impressed with the band's performance. Durst signed the band to Flip/Elektra and helped the band record ''Dysfunction''. Staind promoted ''Dysfunction'' through touring and sampler cassettes. Continuing, but expanding on, the dark alternative metal and nu metal sound displayed on ''Tormented'', ''Dysfunction'' features a varied increase of singing and screaming, emotionally vulnerable lyrics inspired by singer Aaron Lewis' life, with a noticeable increase of melodic sections. ...

	Manifest And Latent Functions And Dysfunctions Manifest and latent functions are social scientific concepts created by anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski in 1922 while studying the Trobriand Islanders in the Western Pacific. It was later modified for sociology by Robert K. Merton. Merton appeared interested in sharpening the conceptual tools to be employed in a functional analysis. Each system in society has a specific function that relies on and is associated to other systems. When these systems function, it leads to social stability. Dysfunction in one or more systems leads to social instability. Both functions and dysfunctions can be latent or manifest. Manifest functions or dysfunctions are deliberate and known. While latent functions or dysfunctions are unintended and/or go unrecognized by many. Positive or negative values are not attached to functions or dysfunctions. In other words, things that are often viewed by people as wrong or harmful can lead to social stability as much as things that are commonly viewed a ...

	Measurement Dysfunction Measurement dysfunction describes a situation or behavior where actual data metrics, statistics and especially their meaning (or communicated meaning), can become problematic due to misuse. Specifically, in areas such as Human Resources (Performance measurements), Technology (Safety), Finance or Health, measurement dysfunctionality are critical, as it can lead to negative outcomes, wrong predictions or forecasts. Practices to avoid: * Reward of wrong behavior (also persons who manipulate) * Measuring the wrong things * Measuring either not enough or too much * Cheating or data manipulation (intentional or unintentional due to wrong calculation models, systematic errors, human errors, etc.) On eliminating dysfunctional measurement: * Establish, and monitor the move to and adherence to ‘policies’ for good, functional measurement * Support technical correctness * Periodically evaluate the information need and value delivered by measurements Trivia "What gets measured gets mani ...
