Reaction formation is a defense mechanism where individuals repress their true feelings or thoughts and express the opposite. This can occur when someone is faced with unacceptable or socially inappropriate thoughts or desires, and they respond by behaving in a manner that is completely opposite to their true feelings. For example, someone who has strong feelings of anger towards a person may display excessive friendliness and kindness towards them as a way to hide their true emotions.Rate this question:

Naturally occurring chemicals in the nervous system that specialize in transmitting information between neurons
-
Neurons
-
Neurotransmitters
-
Glial Cell
-
Hormones
Correct Answer
A. NeurotransmittersExplanation
Neurotransmitters are naturally occurring chemicals in the nervous system that specialize in transmitting information between neurons. They are responsible for transmitting signals across synapses, the tiny gaps between neurons. When an electrical signal reaches the end of a neuron, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, where they bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, allowing the signal to be transmitted. This process is essential for proper communication and functioning of the nervous system.Rate this question:

-
Fictional finalism.
-
Existential imagination.
-

Fictional finalism refers to the idea that humans develop beliefs and then behave as if those beliefs are true, even if they may not be objectively true. This concept suggests that individuals are motivated by their own subjective interpretations and goals, rather than solely by objective reality. It implies that humans are driven by their own imagined future outcomes and strive to achieve them, even if they are not based on concrete evidence or reality.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. An existential theoristExplanation
An existential theorist is most likely to ask the question, "What is the significance of your awareness that you ultimately must die?" Existentialism focuses on the individual's existence, freedom, and the meaning of life. Death is a central theme in existentialism, and existential theorists often explore the significance and impact of mortality on human existence. They are interested in understanding how the awareness of our own mortality influences our choices, values, and the overall meaning we assign to our lives.Rate this question:

The ego must find objects or events that
-
Satisfy the needs of the id.
-
Cannot be attained by primary processes.
-
Do not violate the values of the superego.
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
The ego must find objects or events that satisfy the needs of the id refers to the ego's role in balancing the id's impulsive desires with reality. The ego seeks to find ways to fulfill the id's needs in a socially acceptable manner. Cannot be attained by primary processes indicates that the ego uses secondary processes, such as problem-solving and rational thinking, to achieve these goals. Do not violate the values of the superego highlights the ego's responsibility to consider moral and ethical standards when seeking satisfaction for the id. Therefore, all of the above options are correct explanations of the ego's role in finding objects or events that satisfy the needs of the id.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Collective unconsciousExplanation
The collective unconscious was Jung's most mystical and controversial concept. It refers to the part of the unconscious mind that is shared by all human beings and contains archetypes and universal symbols. Jung believed that these shared patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are inherited and play a significant role in shaping an individual's personality and experiences. The concept of the collective unconscious is controversial because it cannot be directly observed or measured, making it difficult to prove or disprove its existence. However, it has had a significant influence on psychology and continues to be a topic of debate and exploration.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Both A and BExplanation
Both a superiority complex and an inferiority complex can lead to a mistaken lifestyle. A superiority complex can cause a person to have an exaggerated sense of their own importance and abilities, leading them to make poor decisions and treat others poorly. On the other hand, an inferiority complex can cause a person to feel inadequate and constantly compare themselves to others, leading them to make choices that undermine their own potential and limit their personal growth. Therefore, both types of complexes can result in a mistaken lifestyle.Rate this question:

-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. A feeling of helplessness.Explanation
Horney believed that the child starts life with a feeling of helplessness. This aligns with her theory of basic anxiety, which suggests that children develop a sense of helplessness and vulnerability due to their dependence on their parents for survival and protection. Horney argued that this feeling of helplessness can shape the child's personality and lead to the development of various defense mechanisms.Rate this question:

is the most basic ego-defense mechanism because, for any of the other ego-defense mechanisms to occur, it must occur first.
-
Displacement
-
Rationalization
-
Projection
-
Repression
Correct Answer
A. RepressionExplanation
Repression is considered the most basic ego-defense mechanism because it serves as the foundation for other defense mechanisms to occur. It involves pushing unwanted or threatening thoughts, memories, or emotions into the unconscious mind. By repressing these thoughts or feelings, individuals can avoid dealing with the discomfort they may bring. Other defense mechanisms, such as displacement, rationalization, and projection, rely on the initial act of repression to function effectively. Therefore, repression must occur first before any other defense mechanism can take place.Rate this question:

-
He identifies with his father.
-
He identifies with his mother.
-
He becomes hostile toward his father.
-
He becomes hostile toward his mother.
Correct Answer
A. He identifies with his father.Explanation
Freud believed that the healthy resolution of the Oedipus conflict for the male child involves identifying with his father. This means that the child internalizes his father's values, beliefs, and behaviors, and develops a sense of masculinity and morality. By identifying with his father, the child is able to resolve his unconscious desire for his mother and establish a healthy and appropriate relationship with both parents. This resolution is seen as crucial for the child's psychosexual development and overall psychological well-being.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Various theories view personality development differently; hence, personality may be or may not be changeableExplanation
The answer suggests that personality development can be viewed differently based on various theories, indicating that there is no definitive answer to whether our personality can change or not. Some theories may argue that personality is fixed and predetermined, while others may suggest that it can be influenced and changed over time.

When one’s psyche is characterized by harmony among its components, one is said to be:
-
In a zen state.
-
Self-realized.
-
In nirvana.
-
At one with nature.
Correct Answer
A. Self-realized.Explanation
When one's psyche is characterized by harmony among its components, it means that they have achieved a state of self-realization. This refers to a deep understanding and awareness of oneself, including their emotions, thoughts, and desires. Being self-realized implies a sense of inner peace, acceptance, and alignment with one's true nature. It goes beyond simply being in a zen state or experiencing nirvana, as it encompasses a holistic integration of all aspects of one's being. Being at one with nature may be a component of self-realization, but it does not fully capture the depth and completeness of this state.Rate this question:
