Correct option is A
In psychiatry and behavioral sciences, values refer to a person’s deeply held beliefs about what is right or wrong, good or bad. These are subjective, shaped by upbringing, culture, experience, and environment, and influence behaviors and decisions, especially in therapy and counseling.
Explanation of each option: • (a) Values – Correct. Values are internalized personal beliefs that guide one’s perception of right and wrong. They are subjective and central to psychiatric assessment. • (b) Morality – While related, morality is more societal and general; it reflects shared norms rather than internal, personal feelings. • (c) Religion – Religion may influence values but is not the term used for subjective feelings of right and wrong in psychiatric contexts. • (d) Bioethics – Refers to ethical principles in healthcare and research, such as autonomy and beneficence, but not individual feelings or perceptions.
