Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Several influences brought about a profound shift in Maslow's thinking. He was deeply affected by the onset of World War II and by the birth of his first child. About the baby he said, I was stunned by the mystery and by the sense of not really being in control. I felt small and weak and feeble before all this. I'd say anyone who had a baby couldn't be a behaviorist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Maslow's training in experimental psychology included work on dominance and sexual behavior in primates. It was a giant step from this type of research in the behaviorist framework to developing the ideas of humanistic psychologyfrom monkeys to self-actualization.
