Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Allport suspected that psychoanalysis probed the unconscious too deeply, as Freud tried to do with him. Psychology, Allport decided, should pay more attention to conscious or visible motivations. This was the path he chose for his study of personality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: As Allport grew older, he began to identify with his oldest brother, Floyd, envious of his brother's accomplishments. Well into adulthood, Gordon Allport continued to feel inferior compared to Floyd, whose achievements he tried to emulate.
