Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Allport conducted considerable research on what he called expressive behavior, described as behavior that expresses our personality traits. Expressive behavior is spontaneous and seemingly purposeless behavior, usually displayed without our conscious awareness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Allport favored the idiographic approach, that is, the study of the individual case, as indicated by his use of personal documents. However, he did also use some nomothetic methods involving the statistical analysis of differences among large samples of subjects when he believed them to be appropriate.
