Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Maslow's research on emotionally healthy people formed the basis of his personality theory (1970b, 1971). He did not find many examples of self-actualizers and estimated that they constitute 1 percent or less of the population.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Metapathology, according to Maslow, prevents self-actualizers from expressing, using, and fulfilling their potential. They may come to feel helpless and depressed, unable to pinpoint a source for these feelings or identify a goal that might alleviate the distress.
