Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The client has several siblings.
Rationale:
🟣 Having multiple siblings, especially in an environment lacking consistent structure or supervision, may contribute to the development of conduct disorder.
🟣 Larger family systems sometimes experience divided attention or ineffective discipline, increasing the risk of behavioral problems.
🟣 Conduct disorder is linked to disrupted attachment, exposure to chaotic households, and poor role modeling.
🟣 This risk factor is not causal on its own but contributes when combined with other biological or psychosocial influences.
🟣 Family-related contributors are emphasized in behavioral and developmental psychology models.
