Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The fourth phase of development, maturity, lasts from approximately age 23 to 50. It is generally a productive, satisfying time in terms of career, marriage, and family situations. The personality becomes less flexible, compared with earlier stages, and thus emotional stability increases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Cattell was not a follower of Freud's, but he incorporated several Freudian ideas into his theory; namely, that the early years of life are crucial in personality formation, and that oral and anal conflicts can affect personality.
