    Explanation
    Freud is considered the father of contemporary personality theorists because he introduced the concept of the unconscious mind and its influence on personality.

This perspective revolutionized the field of psychology and laid the foundation for many subsequent theories and approaches to understanding personality.

    According to ______ "The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution, born anew in the brain structure of every individual."

      Horney

    Explanation
    Jung believed that the collective unconscious is a part of the human psyche that contains the accumulated knowledge and experiences of past generations. He believed that this collective unconscious is inherited and shared by all individuals, and is responsible for universal symbols, archetypes, and patterns of behavior that are found across different cultures. This quote suggests that Jung believed that the collective unconscious is a spiritual heritage that is reborn in each individual's brain structure, contributing to their psychological development.

    Erickson believed it is the conflicts encountered at each critical stage of an individual’s life that brings about a sense of identity.

    • A.

    • B.

      False

Therefore, the statement "Erickson believed it is the conflicts encountered at each critical stage of an individual's life that brings about a sense of identity" is true.

  • 8. 

    Maslow distinguishes between higher order and lower order needs.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory suggests that human needs can be categorized into higher order needs and lower order needs. Higher order needs refer to psychological and self-fulfillment needs such as self-esteem, self-actualization, and personal growth. On the other hand, lower order needs are more basic and include physiological needs (food, water, shelter), safety needs, and social needs. Therefore, the statement that Maslow distinguishes between higher order and lower order needs is true.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Defence mechanisms are often not advantageous to the individual" is false. Defence mechanisms are psychological strategies that individuals use to cope with stressful situations or protect themselves from emotional harm. While some defence mechanisms may be maladaptive or unhealthy, others can be beneficial and necessary for maintaining mental well-being. For example, denial can help individuals temporarily avoid overwhelming emotions, while humor can provide a positive outlet for stress. Therefore, defence mechanisms can be advantageous to the individual in certain situations.

Transference refers to the unconscious shifting of feelings and emotions from one person or situation to another. It is a psychological phenomenon that occurs in therapy, where the client may project their feelings and emotions onto the therapist. The aim of transference is to bring these unconscious feelings and emotions to the surface and explore them in order to gain insight and understanding. Therefore, the given answer is false.
