Which of the following is NOT a recognized syndrom associated with hijacking?

The concept of a recognized syndrome in the context of hijacking refers to psychological responses that can occur during hostage situations. Stockholm syndrome is well-known, as it describes the phenomenon where hostages develop positive feelings towards their captors. Lima syndrome is the opposite; it refers to captors developing empathy for their hostages, leading them to release them.

Boston syndrome is not a term that is widely recognized in psychological or security contexts related to hijacking situations, and therefore does not fit within the framework of established syndromes associated with hijacking. Similarly, John Wayne syndrome is also not considered a relevant or legitimate term associated with such psychological phenomena.

Thus, identifying Boston syndrome as the correct response highlights the need to differentiate between actual psychological syndromes that have been studied and documented in the context of hostage situations and those that are not recognized by the psychological community.
