Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alan's behavior is typical of someone with histrionic personality disorder, which is characterized by a need for attention and validation, and a tendency to engage in seductive or attention-seeking behavior. People with histrionic personality disorder often feel insecure and have a fragile sense of self-esteem, which they try to bolster by seeking admiration and praise from others. The other options (narcissistic, borderline, and schizotypal) do not fit the description of Alan's behavior as well as histrionic personality disorder.
