Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Despite the significance of these formulations, the bulk of Jungs theory was not received enthusiastically by psychologists. One reason concerns the difficulty of understanding Jungian concepts. Jung did not write for the general public. Reading his work can be frustrating, because his books contain many inconsistencies and contradictions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: One study found that the midlife transition was less difficult for women who had actively pursued careers than for women who stayed at home and focused on marriage and family. The career women felt significantly less need to make major changes at midlife.
