AP Psychology
Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.9
Why does labeling a person based solely on trait theories pose an ethical concern in psychological practice?
Labels are generally beneficial for providing clear diagnosis and treatment plans.
Labels can motivate individuals to change negative traits.
The label may reduce the individual's identity to mere descriptors instead of recognizing them as multifaceted beings.
Labels help individuals better understand themselves and improve self-awareness.
