Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: According to Allport, whatever happened in the past is exactly that: past. It is no longer active and does not explain adult behavior unless it exists as a current motivating force.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Allport believed that the central problem for any personality theory is how it treats the concept of motivation. Allport emphasized the influence of a person's present situation not only in his personality theory but also in his view of motivation.
