Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Studies with the Social Interest Index (SII) showed that women who scored high in social interest were significantly higher in self-actualization, a characteristic of the healthy personality described by Maslow. Other research found that social interest was higher in women than in men and that it increased with age for both sexes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Adler argued that pampering in childhood could lead to a pampered style of life in which the person shows little or no social feelings for others. Studies have identified four types of pampering. Overdomination involves exclusive parental decision-making, leading to a child's lack of self-confidence and a tendency to become dependent on others in adulthood.
