Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Identity diffusion is the failure to integrate various childhood identifications into a harmonious adult psychosocial identity, which can lead to disruptions in relationships and problems of intimacy. The need for self-actualization is the need to reach one's potential through full development of one's unique capability. Depersonalization is the subjective experience of the partial or total disruption of one's ego, and the disintegration and disorganization of one's self-concept (Stuart & Laraia, 2005). The need for self-esteem is the need to feel good about oneself and to believe that others hold one in high regard.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
One's self-concept is synonymous with one's self-image. Self-esteem and self-actualization are components of self-concept.
