Lazarus' multimodal screening model helps identify factors across multiple domains that affect client outcomes. Which option lists the domains it covers?

• A. Biomechanical and motoric factors
• B. Physiological factors
• C. Biomechanical, motoric, physiological, psychological, and sociological factors
• D. Sociological factors

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that client outcomes are shaped by multiple, interacting domains. Lazarus’ multimodal screening model explicitly spans five areas: biomechanical and motoric factors (the physical structure and movement aspects), physiological factors (body systems and processes), psychological factors (mates like mood, motivation, coping), and sociological factors (social context, supports, culture). When you assess all five together, you capture a comprehensive picture of what can influence outcomes, beyond just physical abilities. That breadth is why the option listing all five domains is the best choice. The other options cover only one or two domains, missing important influences that can alter results.
