Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Although the needs in Maslow's hierarchies are innate, the behaviors by which we satisfy them are learned. Therefore, personality is determined by the interaction of heredity and environment, of personal and situational variables.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Maslow states that inadequate education and improper child-rearing practices can thwart the drive for self-actualization in adulthood. People may also fear that taking action to maximize our potential will lead to new situations with which we may be unable to cope. The self-actualizing process takes effort, discipline, and self-control. For many people it may seem easier and safer to accept life as it is rather than seek new challenges.
