Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Maslow adopted Alfred Adler's concept of social interest to indicate the sympathy and empathy self-actualizing persons have for all humanity. Although often irritated by the behavior of other people, self-actualizers feel a kinship with and an understanding of others as well as a desire to help them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Maslow defined peak experience as a moment of intense ecstasy, during which the self is transcended and the person feels supremely powerful, confident, and decisive. Self-actualizers know moments of intense ecstasy, not unlike deep religious experiences, that can occur with virtually any activity.
