Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Humanistic theory recognizes the importance of learning and other psychological processes that traditionally have been the focus of research. With their positive view of human nature, humanists believe that psychopathology results from the blocking or distortion of personal growth, excessive stress, and unfavorable social conditions.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Behavioral theory considers how reinforcement influences behavior. Through reinforcement, a person learns to perform a certain response (behavior) either to receive a reward or to avoid a punishment. The reward in this case is that the wife gets the needed attention from her husband even though it is in the form of an argument. A behaviorist would not likely emphasize the justifications for either person's behavior.
