Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Maslow's theory does not derive from case histories of clinical patients but from research on creative, independent, self-sufficient, fulfilled adults. He concluded that each person is born with the same set of instinctive needs that enable us to grow, develop, and fulfill our potential.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Maslow objected to both behaviorism and psychoanalysis, particularly Freud's approach to personality. According to him, when psychologists study only abnormal or emotionally disturbed examples of humanity, they ignore all the positive human qualities such as happiness, contentment, and peace of mind.
