Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Allport noted that although genetics supplies the raw material of personality, it is the social environment that shapes the material into the finished product. Horney believed that the culture in which we grow up can produce different effects, such as those she found in the different kinds of neuroses exhibited by her German and her American patients. Adler spoke of the impact of birth order, arguing that personality is influenced by our position in the family relative to our siblings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Adler spoke of the impact of birth order, arguing that personality is influenced by our position in the family relative to our siblings. We are exposed to different parental and social problems and challenges as a function of the age difference between our siblings, or whether we have siblings at all.
