Abnormant

Abnormants are people or events that cause an abnormality in what is most likely to happen.

Jake skips class. The bell for the next class is in a minute. He is almost homefree. When all of a sudden a teacher pulls a student of out a class for fighting when they see jake. He has no pass, and gets in trouble. The other student is the Abnormant. If they had not been fighting, Jake would have gotten to his next class.

Psychology defines abnormal typically in the realms of abnormal behavior. There are three main criteria that are used in defining what is abnormal.

They are:
1. The behvaior poses a risk to either themself/others.
2. The person exhibiting the behavior is distressed by it.
3. It is statisically deviant.

Also, to a lesser extent, societal norms come into play in defining what is abnormal, but the risk of using this as a criterion increases the risk of stigmatizing.

Beating a pan over your head and talking to invisible blue dinosaurs while shitting your pants is abnormal.
