Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Freud regarded sex as our primary motivation. Erotic wishes arise from the body's erogenous zones. He suggested that people are predominantly pleasure-seeking beings, and much of his personality theory revolves around the necessity of inhibiting or suppressing our sexual longings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: The life instincts are oriented toward growth and development. The psychic energy manifested by the life instincts is the libido. The libido can be attached to or invested in objects.
