    An instinct is defined as an innate biological force that predisposes the individual to act in a certain way.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An instinct is indeed defined as an innate biological force that predisposes an individual to act in a certain way. This means that certain behaviors or actions are naturally programmed into an organism's DNA, allowing them to respond to certain stimuli without needing to learn or be taught how to do so. These instinctual behaviors are often crucial for survival and can be observed in various species across the animal kingdom. Therefore, the statement "An instinct is defined as an innate biological force that predisposes the individual to act in a certain way" is true.

    According to drive reduction theory, a person who has his biological needs satisfied should be in a quiescent state.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to drive reduction theory, when a person's biological needs are satisfied, they should be in a quiescent state. This means that when a person's basic physiological needs like hunger, thirst, and sleep are met, they should experience a state of calmness or tranquility. This is because drive reduction theory suggests that the satisfaction of these biological needs reduces the internal drive or motivation to seek out those needs, leading to a state of rest or relaxation. Therefore, it is true that a person who has his biological needs satisfied should be in a quiescent state according to drive reduction theory.

    To say that a man fought because he had, an aggressive instinct does not offer much more than a description of his behaviour. It does explain his behaviour.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement suggests that saying a man fought because he had an aggressive instinct only describes his behavior, it does not provide an explanation for it. In other words, it implies that stating the presence of an aggressive instinct does not provide a deeper understanding of why the man fought. Therefore, the correct answer is false, as it challenges the idea that the aggressive instinct alone can fully explain the man's behavior.

    A drive is not a hypothetical construct, but rather a psychological construct. It is not directly observable but is inferred from behavior.
