Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Allport and Cattell, whose work was based on the importance of traits, recognized the parental factor in personality formation. Cattell saw infancy as the major formative period, with the behavior of parents and siblings shaping a child's character.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Horney wrote from her own experience about how lack of parental warmth and affection can undermine a child's security and result in feelings of helplessness. Although Freud was the first theorist to emphasize parental influences on the formation of personality, virtually every theorist thereafter has echoed his views to some degree.
