Psychology I / Humanistic Psychology
Practice question · Select all that apply

Select every statement that is TRUE about humanistic psychology.

Hints
  1. Two options misstate the hierarchy's rigidity or borrow from Freud.
  2. Maslow allowed exceptions to strict ordering, and unconscious sexual conflict is Freud's, not humanism's.
Show the answer
  • A. Incongruence between self-concept and experience can cause distress.
  • B. It arose as a reaction against both behaviorism and psychoanalysis.
  • E. Unconditional positive regard means acceptance regardless of behavior.
Why

The Third-Force reaction, unconditional positive regard, and incongruence-causing-distress are all true. Maslow allowed higher needs amid unmet lower ones, and unconscious sexual conflict is Freudian - so those two are false.
