Answer 1

Write back to me in case you don't understand any part of it. Here' the answer:

Pros to Categorical approach:

i. We can organize and simplify complex phenomena and experiences;

ii. We can indicate a person's problems are similar to those experienced by others, thus facilitate communication, research, and clinical treatment.

Cons of categorical approach:

i. We can lose information about phenomena and experiences

ii. It may also lead to another problem of obscuring of individual differences, stigma and stereotyping, and self-fulfilling prophecies
