Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Kelly warned us that we would not find in his system such familiar concepts as the unconscious, the ego, needs, drives, stimuli and responses, and reinforcementnot even motivation and emotion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Many psychologists see Kelly's theory as too different from prevailing ideas. Personality psychologists typically think in terms of the familiar concepts of motivation and emotion, unconscious forces, drives, and needs, which form no part of Kelly's system.
