Which Humanist reacted against the structuralism of Wundt and Titchener?
- A.
Gordon Allport
- B.
Abraham Maslow
- C.
Carl Rogers
- D.
Raymond Cattell
Correct Answer
B. Abraham MaslowExplanation
Abraham Maslow reacted against the structuralism of Wundt and Titchener by proposing a different approach to understanding human behavior and motivation. Maslow developed the theory of humanistic psychology, which emphasized the importance of individual potential, self-actualization, and the hierarchy of needs. He believed that human behavior should be studied holistically, focusing on the whole person rather than breaking it down into isolated components. Maslow's ideas challenged the reductionist approach of structuralism and laid the foundation for the humanistic movement in psychology.Rate this question:

Pathology

The other options - pathology, irrational, unconscious, and biological - can be seen as reactions against psychoanalysis because they challenge or question its core concepts and assumptions.Rate this question:

- A.
Holistic Approach

Humanism is a philosophical belief that emphasizes the worth and dignity of individuals, as well as their capacity for self-determination and personal growth. It promotes a holistic approach, which means considering the whole person and their interconnectedness with their environment. The principle features of humanism include motivation, self-determination, and the idiographic method or case study method, which focuses on understanding individuals through in-depth analysis. The atomistic approach, on the other hand, is not a principle feature of humanism. It refers to the reduction of complex phenomena into smaller, separate parts, which is contrary to the holistic perspective of humanism.Rate this question:

Non-scientific approach
- D.
Reduction of "meaningful" experiences
- E.

"Exclusion of mental processes" refers to the rejection of studying internal mental processes as a way to understand behavior.

- B.

- C.

- D.

Companionship is not considered a basic need or deficiency need. Basic needs, also known as "D" needs, include physiological needs (such as food, water, and shelter), safety needs (such as security and protection), love/belongingness needs (such as social connections and relationships), and esteem needs (such as self-esteem and recognition). Companionship, although important for social interaction and support, is not typically classified as a basic need in this context.Rate this question:

- A.
Dependency
- B.
Curiosity
- C.
Aesthetic Needs
- D.
Self-Actualization
Correct Answer
A. DependencyExplanation
Dependency is not considered a meta-need or growth need because it is more related to basic survival and security needs. Meta-needs are higher-level needs that go beyond the basic physiological and safety needs, and they include self-actualization, aesthetic needs, and curiosity. Dependency, on the other hand, refers to the need for support and assistance from others, which is more closely associated with the lower-level needs of belongingness and love.Rate this question:

With which of Rogers' conditions is Conditions of Worth associated?
Correct Answer
Conditional Positive RegardExplanation
Conditions of Worth is associated with Conditional Positive Regard. In Carl Rogers' theory, Conditional Positive Regard refers to the acceptance and love that is given to an individual only when they meet certain conditions or expectations set by others. Conditions of Worth are the specific conditions or standards that individuals believe they must meet in order to receive this conditional acceptance and love. Therefore, the concept of Conditions of Worth is closely related to the idea of Conditional Positive Regard, as both involve the imposition of conditions on individuals for them to receive acceptance and love.Rate this question:

The closer the ______ and _____________ concepts are, the healthier the person
Correct Answer
Self and Self-Ideal
Self and Self Ideal
Self and Ideal SelfExplanation
The closer the concepts of self and self-ideal are, the healthier the person. This means that when an individual's perception of themselves aligns closely with their ideal self, they are likely to have better mental and emotional well-being. When there is a large discrepancy between the two concepts, it can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and lower self-esteem. Therefore, the more congruent the self and self-ideal are, the more positive and healthy the person's self-concept is likely to be.Rate this question:

- A.
Self and Self-Ideal
- B.
Self-Ideal and Internal Reality
- C.
Self and Actual Experience
- D.
Phenomenal Field and External Reality
Correct Answer
B. Self-Ideal and Internal RealityExplanation
Rogers believed that psychological health is achieved when there is congruence or alignment between various aspects of oneself. This includes the congruence between self and self-ideal, self and actual experience, and the phenomenal field (one's subjective experience) and external reality. However, the one aspect that is not included in the congruence for psychological health, according to Rogers, is self-ideal and internal reality. This means that a person's ideal self, or the person they aspire to be, does not necessarily have to align with their internal reality or their true thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.Rate this question:

Name one limitation of Rogers's theory of incongruence as mentioned in class
Correct Answer
Incongruence may not be linearly related to abnormality
Incongruence may result from factors other than abnormality
Greater congruence over therapy may occur from lowered Self-Ideal rather than improved Self
Modern personality questionnaires are more practical than Q-SortsExplanation
Rogers's theory of incongruence suggests that incongruence, or the discrepancy between one's self-concept and their actual experience, is not necessarily indicative of abnormality. Incongruence can arise from various factors other than abnormality, such as environmental influences or personal growth. Additionally, greater congruence achieved during therapy may be a result of lowering one's self-ideal rather than improving their actual self. Lastly, modern personality questionnaires are considered more practical and efficient tools for assessing incongruence compared to Q-Sorts, which are time-consuming and subject to bias.Rate this question:

True or False: Allport is well-known today for his theory of personality.
Correct Answer
False
FExplanation
Allport is not well-known today for his theory of personality. While Allport made significant contributions to the field of psychology, particularly in the area of personality, his theories are not as widely recognized or influential as those of other prominent psychologists such as Sigmund Freud or Carl Jung.

Which of Sheldon's Somatotypes is characterized by being soft and round with a love of pleasure and comfort?

Which of Sheldon's Somatotypes is characterized as hard and strong with an aggressive personality?
Correct Answer
MesomorphExplanation
A mesomorph is characterized as hard and strong with an aggressive personality. This somatotype typically has a muscular build, broad shoulders, and a low body fat percentage. They tend to excel in physical activities and sports due to their strength and power. Their aggressive personality traits may stem from their high levels of testosterone, which can contribute to assertiveness and competitiveness. Overall, the mesomorph somatotype aligns with the description provided in the question.Rate this question:
- 39.
True or False: Sheldon's somatotypes are meant to be mutually exclusive
Correct Answer
True
TExplanation
Sheldon's somatotypes are meant to be mutually exclusive, meaning that an individual can only fall into one of the three categories: ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph. This means that a person cannot exhibit characteristics of more than one somatotype simultaneously. Therefore, the statement "Sheldon's somatotypes are meant to be mutually exclusive" is true. The answer "True,T" confirms this statement.Rate this question:

True
- B.
