Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In DID, individuals typically have multiple distinct personalities or identities, also known as alters, that take turns controlling the person's behavior and experience.

Answer: B 
 Individuals with DID have two or more distinct and well-defined personalities or alters that have their own memories, behaviors, and self-perceptions, which can lead to confusion and distress.

Answer: C 
 Although it is true that many individuals with DID have a history of traumatic or abusive experiences, it is not accurate to say that the majority of those who have been sexually abused go on to develop DID. DID is a relatively rare disorder, and not all individuals who experience trauma develop this condition.

Answer: D 
 This statement is not true. DID occurs in individuals of all genders, although it may be more frequently reported in women.
