Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
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. Overindulgence involves the persistent parental gratification of a child's needs and desires, leading to feelings of entitlement as well as tyrannical and manipulative behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Ten years after the initial study involving parents of 8-year-old children, the children, then age 18, were given the depression scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Those whose test scores showed they were more depressed had been neglected in childhood by their parents.
