Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: An inferiority complex can arise from three sources in childhood: organic inferiority, spoiling, and neglect. People with an inferiority complex have a poor opinion of themselves and feel helpless and unable to cope with the demands of life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Although the initial experience of inferiority applies to everyone in infancy, it is not genetically determined. Rather, it is a function of the environment, which is the same for all infants, a climate of helplessness and dependence on adults.
