Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Maslow started his investigation simply to satisfy his own curiosity about two well-known people who impressed him, the anthropologist Ruth Benedict and the Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer. His first research subjects were college students, but he found only 1 out of 3,000 he could describe as self-actualizing.
